Wow! 60 for the vets! Great work; kudos to your guild.

Our little guild in Wisconsin did a similar thing but on a much smaller scale. We would make a couple of quilts to give to those who couldn't afford decent warm bedding. I don't need to tell you how cold it could get in Wisconsin winters.

Thanks for keeping me up on your quilting projects. I've not started back quilting yet but I miss it.

People think I'm daft but I miss living in Memphis, too! And think we were almost neighbors and didn't know it :-(

The Millington Quilter's guild mainly does projects for a cancer treatment center in Memphis. My personal projects are for the American Legion. My quilters' guild meetings are on Tuesday, I've only been going for about 8 months, but find it rewarding and am learning new things. Some of the BOM's and demos they do don't interest me so I skip them.

I don't think we will make the 60 this year, only about 5 of us do anything and 1 is down recovering from a stroke.

My son Chris has 5 job interviews today and I would like to ask all to keep him in prayer that he will get one of them. He's been looking hard for about 3 weeks now with no luck, plenty of interviews but no offer. He's limited in what he applies for as he did a real, real dumb thing and quit school when he turned 18. We couldn't convince him to finish. Now he's paying the price.
