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.

The Thimbleinas
Our group was originally formed in May, 2005 and was called the Buttons n' Bows bee.  We initially met on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm at the Buttons n' Bows shop located at the corner of Kirkwood and Memorial.  Because of scheduling conflicts, we decided to change our meeting times to the 2nd Sunday of each month at the homes of our bee members.  The meetings begin with lunch provided by the hostess and then sewing and fellowship thereafter.  We usually meet from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.  We also changed our name to The Thimblelinas.

Our members usually work on their UFO's but on occasion we have done some special projects.  In 2005, we made a raffle quilt to benefit the Association for Retarded Citizens.  

In October, 2006, we drove to Gerline's Quilt Shop in Giddings, TX to take a Lone Star quilt class.  At a sew-in recently, we all worked on creating our nursing home challenge top.  The unveiling will occur at the guild's November 2007 meeting. 

At our September and October meetings, we plan to have a sew-in when we will make our One Block Wonder quilts.
