President’s Message
Dear TBQ Friends,
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve no place to go… let us sew, let us sew, let us sew!
What a great meeting we had in January! Kay Wentworth’s quilts were amazing and the entertainment she provided was so great! Looking forward to another great meeting in February.
We have a lot of members and their families that are seriously ill. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your kind thoughts and messages when I was ill and in the hospital. I really appreciate you all.
Just to let you know we will be having our Company Store back this month. We are still looking for more people to help out. Also, when it is your turn to bring treats please help out by setting up and cleaning up. I forgot all about this until I saw David and Trish helping this last month in the kitchen. If you have any questions please look at page 11 in the directory. I thank all of you for doing so much for this guild! (To me this sums up our guild.)
Pay it forward
It‘s about caring and sharing,
It’s about compassion and kindness,
It’s about generosity,
It’s about sacrifices and love,
You get what you give so give good.
See you soon!
Linda Craig – TBQ President 2019-2020
