Thank you everyone who helped me out together a wonderful 10 year celebration!
ReplyDeleteDiane Stone made a very delicious and beautifully decorated cake.
Gwen for the delightful hand made quilt themed Thank You cards.
Diane Lochala brought in tea and coffee sleeves.
And the guild provided chocolate boxes as gifts to the charter members.
A big "THANK YOU" to the charter members!! Julia Graber had told me when they started she had hoped for a community that would encourage, help and inspire quilting. Well ladies, I believe you've accomplished what you set out for and so much more!!! PTQ is an awesome quilt guild!!! Thank you again! 😊
Oh yes! Also "Thank you" to Michelle for bringing in the memory books!! It's always fun to have a look back at what PTQ has done over the years and the books are so beautifully done!!
