Christmas/Hanukkah
I did post my Christmas/Hanukkah wish on FB but guess I failed to post here. Well, I hope you all had as great a Christmas and/or Hanukkah as I did. They keep getting better and better. New grandchild/first Christmas, family, friends...ah, yes, feeling very blessed!
Merry Christmas, and those who celebrated Hanukkah, I hope it was great. Thanks to all the volunteers who are on this mission of covering our veterans with the "thank you" quilts. Thanks for your gift of time, ..you just seem to always be there when we need that extra mile. The last sew-in we didn't have heat. What did we do sitting there sewing with our coats on... the subject of what our men and women must have gone through in the cold and heat came up. So,thank you and God bless our veterans!
Now, I'm on my way to meet Kim, our new leader at Linda Z's starting next month!

Elgin Sew In
Yesterday was a great day for our Elgin group. Rebecca and Boyd brought
in quilt tops, we finished making blocks on our group project and
Rebecca kindly offered to assemble the quilt.
Patty taught a new block, a floating star, for work at home. Boyd and Shirley bundled 11 quilts to longarm. The highlight was presenting a quilt to Larry, a Vietnam veteran.
Thank you Larry for your service!

Sew-In Reminder Notice---Elgin---Tuesday
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for, due in part to those who serve our country.
Tuesday,
December 9th will be our next sewing date at Christ the Lord Lutheran
Church in Elgin. The time is 10 to 2 and remember to bring a sack lunch
and some sewing supplies/machines if you can. Come for whatever part of
the day you can.
We
have some exciting news for the day. Besides finishing up the quilt we
started last month we will have the honor of presenting a quilt to a
veteran from Cary who served in the Army during the Tet Offensive in
Vietnam. There will be more show and tell patterns and more bundles to
prepare.
Christ the Lord is located on Highland Ave. three blocks WEST of Randall Road in Elgin.
See you then!
Patty & Shirley
