November is our
Quilted Arts Auction. Please bring your neighbors and friends. We
will have refreshments and pretty art pieces. And, if you have not
already done so, hurry and make your item and call Susan Oakes.

volunteered to share their knowledge and skills: Debbie (Thread
Scarves), Ellen (Prairie Points), Lorraine
(Curved
Piecing), Mardy (reverse appliqué), Gretchen (machine appliqué), Karen
(Machine Binding) and Lynda. If you would like to share a technique,

Storybook Quilt
On October 27th the storybook quilt committee
delivered 14 storybook quilt kits to the Allen ISD librarians. The
response was overwhelming. They were so excited to see the creative
and beautiful quilts. They were very gracious and couldn’t wait to
share them with their campuses teachers. Thanks for your hard work.
In order to make this project more meaningful
for the students we would like for you to include a handwritten or
word document explaining the quilter’s thoughts while working on the
quilt, see
example.
See
Nov&Dec's
Newsletter for a list of remaining books and the
Storybook Quilt Project for reference. Questions? Email
Heather.

Outreach
Please remember to bring non-perishable FOOD
items for ACO. Only one
item NOT wanted is green beans. This time of year we can be
especially helpful to those less
fortunate. Your donations will be such a help
for them to have a better holiday meal.
If you forget to bring items for donation in any month, remember
there is a "money
container" for you to use.
