Absentee ballots will be available via email from Jan 26-Feb 2 (dates approximate). Email Karol or Julia to get an absentee ballot.
Linda will continue to accept quilts for the veteran's home until February. Dimensions should be between 48-50 x 60-70 inches. They can be red, white, and blue, but don't have to be. Masculine colors are preferred but we do want to make sure the few women there also have appropriate quilts. Debra needs some more 10in red, white, and blue blocks to complete the quilt she is making with the donated blocks; please email her if you have some, or can make some for her.
Our projects for Days for Girls are also ongoing. Sharleen has fabric for the liners; contact her to get some.
Our quilt at OMA's Festival of Trees was seen by over 32,000 people!

HOLIDAY PARTY
Our guild holiday party will be held on Dec 20, from 10-4:30 at the Dr Phillips Library (Southwest Branch).
Please bring a potluck dish to share, and any sewing projects you wish to work on. We will have a gift exchange featuring mini-quilts (example shown below.) Quilts should not be bigger than 18" on any side; participation is optional. Please bring your quilt in a brown paper or gift bag.
The next Modern Quilting Salon will be held on Dec 11 from 6-8 pm at the Bernina Sewing Center in Lake Mary. Bring an example of your favorite style of modern quilting. This may be the last salon to be held for a while, due to conflicts with the space, and Yanick's schedule, so come while you can!
