2017 Veterans Day Sew-In
Guild members came together on Friday, November 10th for a special sew-in for Veterans. These sew-ins, which were started in 2016, have proved to be very successful, as 67 quilts were passed out to admitted Veterans at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Albany, NY this past year. Guild members bring their sewing machines and sewing supplies and the guild provides fabric and ready-to-sew quilt kits. Helpers are also welcome to attend to cut, iron and assist with the sewing.
Upcoming Veterans Sew-Ins are scheduled for Friday, January 26, 2018, and Friday, April 27, 2018. Stop by any regular guild meeting and sign up to attend!

February 2017 Guild Meeting – Annual Tie-In for Northern Rivers’ Kids
The February meeting was our Annual Tie-In for Northern Rivers’ Kids.  Guild members and guests worked together to tie quilts which will be donated to Northern Rivers. The children who are in Northern Rivers’ program find much comfort in these quilts – the colors, the patterns, and the caring that goes into the making of them.  In 2016 the guild donated just over 100 quilts to Northern Rivers.
The tied quilts were taken home by guild members who will apply binding to finish the quilts and return them to Emily, the guild’s Kids Quilts coordinator, who will deliver the quilts to Northern Rivers for distribution to the kids.
There was no show & tell at this meeting.
