SPAM in your EMAIL? . . .

When you send guild-related email to any member, include the guild initials WHQG in the subject line.  That way recipients will not hit delete without readying your message - maybe thinking that you are trying to sell health-enhancing drugs or the latest stock tips.

SUGARBEES
This bee has ten members. Roz Bippus, Dolores Brooks, Mary Ann, Bette Jezuit, Linda Lindell, Linda Messer, Becky Newsom, Mariet Nieskens, Deloris Ulke, and Judith Washburn.  It has been in existence for almost four years. We meet the second and fourth Thursday of each month at Quilter’s Emporium.  Many of the members are still working girls, thus we meet in the evening. The meetings begin at 7 pm and we are almost always over by 9pm.

The first meeting of each month a member provides a teaching experience/or demonstration for the other members.  We draw months each ten months, so we know well in advance when we have to do the teaching.

The second meeting is to work on whatever community service projects the membership has chosen for the year.  2007’s project is medallion quilts. Each member begins one quilt and each second meeting the project is passed to another member to do the next round.  We have nine tops completed so far. These will be backed and quilted by another member, who hasn’t worked on that particular quilt. We will present the quilts to the Guild in November 2007.

We are making Christmas stockings for the next two fourth Thursday meetings.  Attached are pictures of some of the busy Sugar Bees.
