METHODIST CHURCH REQUEST
MMQG Members,
I have been asked by the officials
of the Methodist Church to remind you
that guild members should not arrive at
the church before 12:30. This arrival
time is only for guild members who need
to be there to set up the facility for
our meeting. Other members should
begin arriving at 1:00. These
requests are based on their concern for
the safety of their students who are
being picked up by their parents until
about 12:30. I know each of you
can understand their concern for the
safety of the children. We are their
guests so we need to abide by this
request.
Thank you for your cooperation in timing
your arrival for 1:00.
Your quilting sister,
Bev
Thank
 you
MMQG Members for your generous donations to

NEW COMFORT COMMITTEE
Purpose of the Comfort Committee
Audrey Hiers, Chair
The
purpose of the Comfort Committee is to
inform members of the Misty Mountain
Quilting Guild, when a Guild member is in
special need of our love, support, caring,
friendship and prayers due to a serious
and/or life threatening issue. This will be
done through making a lap size quilt and/or
a tote to include personal items and cards.
All members of the Misty Mountain Quilting
Guild will be able to become involved in
this endeavor as needed.
It was decided that having two quilts made
and ready would be done. Block sizes will be
9” and for now, the first quilt will be
block of choice. The second quilt will be a
fence rail. Colors used should be bright
and/or cheery pastels. Although quilted when
the time comes to give the quilt, it will be
available for members to tie, each tie
representing a prayer, and an appropriate
label will be on the back. Members who do
not choose to make blocks may donate
batting, backing, and thread (type, and
brands will be specified). Our long arm
specialists have already volunteered to do
the quilting.
Members will be asked to sew the quilt
blocks together, as needed, during the
meeting of the Strippers.
In addition to the above, the committee will
be responsible for sending an appropriate
card to a member(s) in need.

Thoughts:
Old quilters never die, they just go
batts.
Old quilters never die, they just go to
pieces.
Quilt 'til you wilt!
Quilters never cut corners.
