January Program
January 21st, we will have Brenda Perry giving us her "Confessions of a
Quilt-a-holic". She will be bringing her Cathedral Squares and many
other quilts I know you will want to see. Along with her quilts come her
funny and heartwarming stories. She promised to share some quilt making
tips as well. I am sure we will enjoy her talk and her quilts.
Don’t miss it!
Fat Quarter Lotto 2010
Do you have some extra fat quarters
around the house? Do you love to win fabric?
Well do we have something for you. Each month at the guild
meeting we will hold a Fat Quarter Lotto. To participate all you
need to do is bring a fat quarter in the theme of that month.
This should be fun and easy! A
great way to get rid of unwanted Fat Quarters or pick up a bunch.
Remember: Fat quarters are 18” x 22”. Please bring good quality
fabric that you would want to receive.
See the January
newsletter or the Fat
Quarter Lotto form for more details.

Storybook Quilt Program
 We had a fantastic and very successful 2009. We are in the process
of purchasing some new books and materials for our program. There
are still books that are in need of quilters. Come see us at the
break. We look forward to see what 2010 has in store for the
storybook quilts. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with the
children of Allen.

Community Donation
A big thank you to everyone who came to our wonderful Christmas
Brunch and brought
canned goods for the Allen Community Outreach. They were so
appreciative.
With so many people needing help,
the shelves are pretty bare. So again for the month of January, we
are asking the guild
members to bring canned goods to share.
Bring canned fruit, soups, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese or
dried beans.
Thanks to all for caring and sharing.

I am looking forward to taking over the library duties in 2010! Terri
Washburn has done a great job getting our books organized and we are
hoping to get the bookshelves soon so that they all are easily
accessible. Until then, please e-mail me if you'd like to request a
certain book, and I'll pull it and have it ready for you at the next
meeting.
***Reminder***
Our Master Library List is online and you can easily click on the search
button to check our inventory by category, title or author by just
entering a few key words. Before you buy your next quilt book- check it
out and you may save yourself some money (or have more to spend on
fabric!)
