RETREAT NEWS:
Our October 2009 retreat was held October 15-18, 2009 at Camp Maranathas. The cost was $175 for the four days and you could sew 24 hours a day on any projects you wished to bring. Vickie Mitchell or Diana Fraley at (907) 745-2500 or 232-7415 helped organize a very successful retreat this year. Plan on joining us next year.
EDUCATION NEWS:
Meetings are held every 3rd Thursday of the month at Pandemonium in Wasilla, in front of Home Depot @ 7 pm. Everyone is invited to attend.
CLASSES: In November we will have Raw-Edge Applique (2 methods- "lick and stick" and template) by Tami Bovy.
Quilt Camp @ Camp Carlquist, Mirror Lake: May 6 - 9th. Contact Kathy Buirge or Sharon Berna for more information.
SERVICE COMMITTEE NEWS:
New on the Service Cart: Quilts to Tie complete with batting, backing and thread. Since we have over 75 complete tops just waiting to be finished, we thought this might be a way to get some more completed as the quilters can't be asked to finish that many for us.
As always, on the cart is: block packets, quilts that need borders, doll quilts (for the fair booth), sets of blocks to sew together into tops, binding and quilting.
Thank you to everyone who has generously donated batting, zippers, Velcro and webbing to the Service Committee. We use the zippers, velcro, and webbing to make wheelchair, walker, catheter, and personal care bags for the Pioneer Home and Senior Centers. We can always use more.
