You are invited . . .
All of my quilting friends are invited to come to my new home for a visit or for a day of sewing!
An Invitation . . . and an Opportunity to Feel Good!
Though I would love to continue chairing the Veterans Committee, I find that it is not working out for me. I promised Twy Hock years ago that we would not let this very important committee die, so I am on a serious search for a new Chairperson. I would be your mentor and personal assistant for the first year!
You would be working with a very productive and dedicated team of quilters. We have systems set up with mini sub-committtees within the large committee. At this time we have awarded over 700 quilts to Lincoln County Veterans. It is very important to keep this going! They are so appreciative, and for many of them, it is the first time they have heard “Thank You” or “Welcome Home.”
We are fortunate to be sponsored by the Siletz Grange and have storage for all our materials and a wonderful area to sew in.
Please consider this committee. It is so rewarding! If you are even slightly interested, please give me a call!

Saying “Thank You”: OCQG November Program – Veterans Quilt Presentation
Hi, Fellow Quilters!
The program this month will be introducing our guild members to a Veterans Quilt Presentation. As you know, we usually do this at the Siletz Grange. We are honored and delighted that at this presentation we will be awarding quilts to eight women veterans!!
We hope you can come a bit early to greet them. Viki will postpone some of the committee reports in order to begin earlier than usual. Some of our veterans must get back to previous commitments.
We hope you will join us in supporting our veterans and simply saying, “Thank You for Your Service!” See you there.

A Note from Nan
Missing Boutique Items
It has come to my attention that there are individuals (members) who did not get back all their items after the boutique sales were closed. After closing the boutique, breakdown is fast and furious, so it is easy for us to place an item/s in the wrong “to be returned” pile.
I want to ask those of you who sold items in the boutique this year, to carefully look through your returned items (items that did not sell) and see if there are any items that don’t belong to you. I am sure you can understand that everyone wants their items to sell or at least be returned to them.
Just in case the boutique team made an error, please check over your returned items to confirm that all items belong to you. If you find a stray item, please let me know.
A Big Thanks to You All

more
Locally recognized quilts–please include Quilt Guild, State Fair, or other quilt show award details in your submission

Need a Box for your Quilt?
