MLQG January Meeting

The January meeting of the MLQG was held Monday, January 20th at the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center.  The group was treated to a trunk show of the "Precious Few" quilts of Elizabeth Emily (Cleary) Mahonske as presented by her son, Adam Mohonske, and what an amazing tribute it was to his mother and her love of quilting!

Humble Bags and Humble Haversacks!

During the guild's Christmas party, we gathered Humble Bumble Bags and Humble Haversacks. These bags are donated to the Humble Bumble Project, which then fills the Bumble Bags with gift cards and essential supplies for cancer patients. Meanwhile, the Humble Haversacks are packed with self-care items specifically for caregivers.
