Christmas Market

Due to the current Covid situation, the Christmas Fair has been cancelled for December 2020.  Our December Luncheon is also cancelled.
  
Hopefully, we will  be back to normal soon, so in that wishful thinking, keep working on those Christmas items for next year.

Just a note about the Vet Quilt Program

Our  program is still going strong, donation tops are coming in at a steady pace and to date I have 29 on hand.  We made a delivery of 25 quilts in June and 22 quilts on the 28th of October.  Our total donation for the Sharpsburg Piecemakers since 5 Feb 2014 is 462 bed quilts.  Common Threads has also been donating quilts to this program and the combined total of Quilts donated to the VA is 647 quilts to date.  I currently have 53 finished quilts on hand to donate when they are needed.   Thanks to all of you, our program is still going strong and I look forward to things normalizing next year. 
Happy Sewing,
Sue Williams
