MVOB quilts will be delivered early January 2026.  If you have additional quilts for Trish to quilt, please get them to her ASAP as her Holiday rush for customer quilts will be starting soon and she will not have the time to donate to this project.  Please get them to her by the end of the retreat.  You can bring them to the retreat if you would like.  We’ll draw for the quilt raffle at the January meeting.  Everyone who participates earns a raffle ticket.  Additional tickets can be purchased for $5 or 5 for $20.  Proceeds will go to the guild and will, in part, cover the cost of supplies used for the project.  

Nominations for board members are due next Monday, 10/13/25 and all positions are up for grabs.
