Hope to see you soon! Murder at Pieceful Lake! Murder Mystery NightWho murdered Betty Bitchay at the quilt retreat? Was it Lotta Agression, Bitsey Pieces or another quild member? What a fun evening of laughter, food and suspense. The cast did a great job of portraying their characters as well as the audience members. It was not easy trying to figure out the murderer of Betty Bitchay who was laying on the floor with her prize quilt! Thanks Judy for planning the evening for us.

Common Threads Quilt Guild is 10 years old! On August 22 the guild celebrated it's 10th Birthday! 10 years of fun, friendship, compassion sewing and learning new skills. A good time was had by all. Food, friends and beautiful quilts filled the Mills Baptist Gymnasium.
