Quilting for Others
Our guild tradition is to dedicate an extended October meeting to Quilting for Others (Q4O) projects. Last year, we donated 279 quilts and 581 pillowcases to hospitals, children's wards, shelters, senior care facilities, and more! This year, the Q4O committee will have pillowcase kits and quilt-top kits for members to work on or take home, as well as sandwiched quilts ready for quilting. This is also a great time to return anything you took home to work on over the summer. In addition, this year, the Q4O team is focusing on a simple quilt pattern (Rail Fence) for our charity quilts. Details here.

Nimble Fingers Theme Song
Annette Montone's husband created a theme song for the guild, with a little help from AI. A soft rock confection with bongos, horns, bells and a piano, that celebrates our quilting community! Please enjoy... Mr. Montone and the AI Notes!
