Thank You
I want to say a very special “Thank you” to Pattie Gregg, Susan Nelson (new member), Marilyn Dutton, Bev Valle, Angie Cyr and her son Mark. Together, we had the Estate Sale cleared of fabric and notions and in Angie’s van in about an hour and a half! The van was filled to the top, the owners were very happy, and the guild received a lot of good “stuff” for the white elephant room at this year’s quilt show. Angie will have her hands full going through and sorting everything, so if you can, please contact her and ask her how you can help. Many hands make light work. Our volunteers are amazing!

Dragonfly Quilt
Do you recognize this quilt?
Linda Miller, Clinical Director of the High Point Hospice House in Haverhill contacted MVQG because they received this quilt as a gift many years ago and use it for a special ceremony. The quilt has become worn from use and washing. They are looking for someone who would be willing to make a replacement quilt.
Linda writes “The measurements are 7’4”x 6’10” with gradually rounding corners- with a dragon(fly) theme.” “We do not need it before Christmas. We would prefer a dragon fly theme but something similar is ok. We would prefer the same dimensions. We would be willing to pay for the quilt or even the materials. We would appreciate anything you can do to assist. Thank you.”
We are looking for a member or group of members that would be willing to take on this project. If you are interested please contact me. Thank you for volunteering!

Hold her close to your heart and always remember her generosity of spirit, her endless energy, her caring ways and her eagerness to help others, which brought her such joy.” Read her beautiful obituary using this link: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lowellsun/obituary.aspx….
