And The Total Rises!

Shown in the photo are 12 quilts and 15 fleece blankets that were delivered to CONCERN this week.  That brings our total of quilts/blankets donated to foster kids to 97 since we started this project in January of 2013!  This is an ongoing guild project as children, unfortunately, are always going into foster care, so please continue to support the kids with your quilts and blankets. More information about quilts for CONCERN can be found by clicking on the Community Projects tab at the top of this page.

Board Meeting Reminder

Just a reminder that there will be an MLQG board meeting at 5:45 PM this evening (Monday, March 17th) at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center in Wellsboro (this is before the monthly guild meeting). All officers and committee chairs are encouraged to attend. The meeting is open to all MLQG members as well.

Open Sewing at the Lake House and Happy Hour Sewing in Corning -- Wednesday, March 19th

Lake House Open Sewing -- MLQG members gather for open sewing sessions at the lake house (near Hills Creek Lake) on Wednesdays from 10:00 until ?. All guild members of all ability levels and interests are welcome to attend on any Wednesday and may work on any stitching projects that they like, hand or machine, even knitting/crocheting/embroidery. The only exception is the fourth Wednesday of the month, which will continue to be a charity sewing day.

The purpose of these get-togethers is to spend time with other fiber fanatics and to learn from each other, no matter what we're all working on. Bring your projects, machine, and lunch. Stay for an hour or stay all day. Just be warned that if only a couple of people show up in the morning, we may close up shop by noon (but that doesn't happen too often).

The next open sewing session at the lake house will be on Wednesday, March 19th. If you need directions to the lake house or want more info, please contact Anya T., Dori S., or Susan McC. (check your roster for contact info or comment on this blog post).

And if you can't come during the day to the lake house, consider going to Happy Hour Sewing in Corning --

Corning Open Sewing -- Bring whatever you’d like to work on – cutting, sewing, embroidery, cross stitch or your knitting! An iron & ironing board are available at the church hall. We like food  if you want to bring some or we can order out. Time is from 5:00PM until 8:00PM at the Emanuel Lutheran Church, West William St. Corning, NY. Contact Carrie S. (check your roster for contact info) for more details. The next date for Happy Hour Sewing is Wednesday, March 19th.

If you plan on attending Happy Hour Sewing, please let Carrie S. or Marcia A. know -- they don't want to open up the church if no one plans to come...(contact info is on your guild roster).

If the weather is iffy, please don't put yourself in danger on the roads! Check back on the blog for any cancellation notices.
