HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Marilyn . . .
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we are headed into December and the rush into the Christmas holiday is upon us. I hope you have some time to consider the blessings of your family and your friendships as Christmas draws closer. I hope you have made some good friendships in the Tree City Quilters guild and that you will plan to celebrate those friendships at our annual Christmas Party on Monday, December 9. Remember that dinner starts at 6 p.m. Bring a covered dish to share and your own beverage. Table service will be provided. The challenge is a “Christmas Stocking” and the gift exchange, if you want to participate, is a gift up to $20. If you would like to participate in a Christmas game, bring 12 2 ½” X WOF strips. There will be a brief Show & Tell for items you will be giving away as Christmas gifts. Please save other items for our January meeting. If you have any questions, contact someone on the Christmas Dinner Committee: Heather Weekley, Ruth Bishop, Jolene Rehm, and Lola Franks. Don’t forget that your 2020 dues, $20, needs to be turned in to Judy Malloon at the December meeting. If you will not be at that meeting, please mail your check to Judy at 4374 Deer Creek Dr., Wooster, Oh 44691 before the end of 2019. We must receive your dues by the end of the year in order for your name to be included in our Membership Directory.
Congratulations to our 2020 officers: Marilyn Nisius, President; Frank Meshew, Vice President; Mary Schultz, Secretary; Judy Malloon, Treasurer; and Shirley Rodgers and Gwen Alaura, Members at large. Kay Nixon has agreed to stay on the Board as the Past President. If you have suggestions for a meeting or class or activity for next year, contact one of the officers and share your ideas. We will have our first board meeting in January – hopefully before our first scheduled meeting on Monday, January 13. Speaking of meetings, please remember that if Wooster City Schools are closed due to snow or inclement weather on the day of one of our meetings, our TCQs meeting will be cancelled. Even if the weather clears in the afternoon, the building will be closed and our meeting will not be held.
Our last Handwork Group for 2019 will be Friday, December 6 and the first one for 2020 will be Friday, January 10. Join us if you can. Bring handwork of any kind (no sewing machines) and a small snack to share. Contact Sally Kitchen with questions.
See you on December 9. Enjoy any days that come our way filled with snow as opportunities to quilt. That will give them a totally different feeling. Happy Quilting to each of you, Marilyn

Remember: The most beautiful way to start and end a day is with a grateful heart.
I am so grateful for all of you – Marilyn

Following, from Mary Mahoney on show committee, about entering items from the various classes offered by the Tree City. Quilt Guild
It's a good idea to keep a list of the quilts you would like to submit for our 2020 quilt show. Please note as well, if that quilt was made from a workshop you took with our guild. We do have a category for workshop quilts and we'd like to keep them together at the show. Here is a list of the 2018 workshops to help you remember what might qualify in this category:Pat Hall's Rug classKay Nixon's Fabric bowl workshopLaura Noletti's Convex Illusion classStacie Miller's Market Bag & Mary Mahoney's No Sew Gift Bag classLaura Noletti's Paper Pieced Animal pattern workshopShirley Roger's 5 yard quilt
