January guild meeting on Zoom

Welcome to a new year with the Choo Choo Quilters. We will be having our first Zoom guild meeting of the new year this Monday, January 18, at 6:30 pm. Due to COVID, we suspect that we'll continue our virtual meetings into the late summer/early fall of this year... but don't despair! We are planning several things to keep us connected mentally, even though we must remain physically apart. 

Cheers to a new year with the Choo Choo Quilters.

At Monday's meeting, we will have a discussion of possible program ideas and we will need your input. Come join us and contribute your ideas to the guild. We have plans for a Choo Choo Bingo Challenge which will be introduced on Monday. We will also have Show and Tell, so gather up your recent projects to share with the group.  

Cuddle Quilt Update
We will be collecting our cuddle quilts to donate to the Chambliss Center, and we will have a special drop-off on Saturday, February 6 from 2-4 in the parking lot at Valleybrook Presbyterian (where in-person guild meetings were held). 

Sherry and Ginny have arranged to provide hot chocolate and treats for everyone who brings a quilt, and we can have a little socially distanced celebration of our continued work with this fine organization. If this collection time doesn't work for you, post a message on the Choo Choo Facebook page and someone will reach out to you. The quilts will be delivered to Chambliss on Monday February 15. 

In case of bad weather, the collection will be postponed until the following Saturday, February 13. 

So, come join us Monday night and enjoy the company of your fellow quilters!
