November Meetings
There is a change in meeting dates for November. We will be meeting on the 2nd Tuesday and 3rd Tuesday of the month.
November 12 - Our program will be provided by Pat Knoechel from Quilt in a Day. Pat is Eleanor Burns' sister. We have been fortunate to have Pat present programs to us in the past and they are always great! She usually brings books, rulers, and patterns for sale. The meeting is held in in Classroom 6. Park on the east side of the Church building and enter through the open entryway.

Additionally at the November 19 meeting, we will be having a Great Pumpkin celebration: Everyone is invited to bring his or her favorite pumpkin creation (one we can eat--not an artfully carved jack-o-lantern) and we will have a pumpkin patch feast! As an added bonus, if each quilter who is bringing something yummy would email the recipe to Mary the week before, let's say the deadline is Thursday, Nov. 14, she will put together a copy of all of the recipes for everyone to take home. Please write RECIPE in the subject line to make it easy for her to recognize.

Please Note: The location has changed to Classroom 1 (Fifth Grade) and Classroom 2 (Sixth Grade). The location change is needed for this Sew-In as the church will be using the gymnasium.
