Old Business
Guicy Guice - trying to reach.
We were approached by someone asking whether the guild could make memory quilts for 2 young girls who lost their mother. The girl’s uncle agreed to be responsible for backing, batting and any expenses because the guild could not incur the costs.
This will be on a volunteer basis. If you would like to be part of this project please contact Patty.
