General Meeting Reminder

Hospice Hockey "Skating for a Reason" Tournament

 Holidays are done. Time to think about the theme baskets for the annual Hospice Hockey "Skating for a Reason" tournament. The guild is accepting items for a Snowman theme basket and a Made in Michigan theme basket. We have two meetings to bring items, or call me if you need the item picked up. Our baskets have sold several tickets in previous years that earns money for Hospice.

Thank You Gail Essmaker for all your hard work with the Sault Saint Marie Hospice.

Quilville's Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt Along

Quiltville Grand Illusion Finale

The Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt Along for the Guild has changed a bit.  

You have until March 2015 to complete your quilt, it does not have to be quilted, a top is okay.

There will be a Show and Tell of the Quilts and the one quilt who gets the most votes will receive a prize.

For those that thought they didn't have time now is your chance to participate in the Quilt Along.

If you have any questions please contact Kari Mooney.

Happy New Year
