Delayed Thank You, I was locked out of my account!

There is so much to share, but I haven't been able to get into this account. Too many emails & passwords. Nonetheless, it is time to share some great news!

This past week has been a very hectic awesome some for us quilters. For the past 6 weeks we have been working non-stop on projects for our first ever fund raiser, but we did take off to the annual Quilters Expo at the Palm Beach Convention Center last Thursday.

We met at in the lobby, wearing our tee shirts to bring awareness to our group. Most of had the opportunity to meet vendors and fellow quilters to talk about what we do and why. To make this post a bit shorter I will post those pictures in a separate post. It was a wonderful time to be amongst such talented people and be inspired. Certainly our calendars will be marked for next year. Perhaps we may even have a booth!

Here's the great news, on Sunday November 11th, we had the opportunity to not only have a fund raiser, but to show and talk about what and why we make quilts. Yillian Fraga, a representative from Life Alliance in Miami, was also at the service and in the courtyard to meet and talk with the quilters as well as the Victory Worship Center Family.

The sale was a huge success! Many compliments, words of encouragement and appreciation for what we do were received. It was a great experience, Thank You to everyone who purchased and generously made donations.

One of the most asked questions was, "Are you going to do this again before Christmas?"

Yes, Sunday December 9th between services and after the second service.

Here's what you can expect; potholders, scrunchies, tissue holders, stockings, bookmakers, prayer shawls, more pillows and quilts. Several of what you may have seen on Sunday will be on it's way to Miami this week, but there will be lots more in time for Christmas gifts and you.
