UPCOMING MEETINGS

Friday and Saturday, October 23 & 24 Virtual Casowasco Retreat. 
Are any of you longing for some time just for yourself to quilt, quilt, quilt? But to also be in touch with other quilters who are also using their time making gorgeous creations? Join us for a Virtual Casowasco on Friday Oct 23 and Saturday Oct 24. We'll gather together on Zoom each day
at 9:30am to share our plans for the day, ask for help, and connect. Then comes the sew, sew, sew part - in our own homes, safe from that evil Covid virus. Anyone who would like can join Zoom again for a Lunch Chat at 1pm. Do you miss those infamous uphill walks at Casowasco? Anyone who wants can connect with those in their neck
of the woods for an after lunch masked, socially distanced walk. Then we can end the day with another short Zoom connection at 5:30 to show all of our amazing progress. 

You can join us for one day or both days. Please fill out the registration form if you are interested: https://bit.ly/36dVWpP. You are welcome to contact Casey or Bronwyn (contact details in the newsletter) if you have any questions.

Tuesday, October 27, 7:00 PM via Zoom - Business Meeting.  We will be electing new officers, so attend this one and put your vote in.  We’ll review minutes from the previous meeting and have reports from each of our committees (many of which may be brief since we haven’t met in person since last spring).

Tuesday, November 10, 7:00 PM via Zoom - Quilts of Valor Work Night 
Get your red, white and blue fabric cut and ready for our Quilts of Valor work night at our Nov. 10 meeting. We will be sewing together, making blocks for the Quilts of Valor project on Zoom during our regular meeting. Pattern available in the left column.

PATTERN FOR SEAT BELT PILLOW

Here is the pattern for the seat belt pillow.  The Cancer Resource Center would love to have us make these for cancer patients, so they can cushion their ports when they wear a seat belt.  The pillow is small and easy, and a great way of using fun scraps.
