Guild Meeting Tuesday, November 21, 7PM - Michelle Banton “From Cotton to Consumer”
Michelle will share a lecture on “The Journey of a Cotton Boll from the Field to Your Local Quilt Shop”, a multi-media presentation of the process of cotton becoming fabric. What is the process of growing cotton, creating fabric, designing fabric, having it printed and delivered to your local quilt shop? Probably much more than you ever considered. You will learn how it's grown and manufactured. You will get insights on how different designers create special lines of fabric, and how manufacturers get their goods into your local quilt shops. This is a Zoom-only meeting.

Food Donations to Bucks County Services
Thank you to everyone who generously brought food to our 2023 meetings so far this year to be donated to the food pantry at Bucks County Family Services. Every item is gratefully appreciated by the recipients.
We urge all of our members to bring a donated item to every in-person meeting. We all have so much in our lives - we do not struggle to put food on the table for ourselves or our family. It is a blessing to be able to share with those in our community who need our help. Please be generous and remember those in need throughout 2023. ~ Nancy Y. |
Message from the President
November 2023 What is the true meaning of gratitude? Gratitude is when you feel thankful for the good things in your life. This could be stuff people often take for granted, like having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, and family. Gratitude is taking a moment to reflect on how lucky you are when something good happens, whether it's small or big. I am grateful for being a member of Newtown Quilters’ Guild. This year I have met many more members of the guild and am grateful for the opportunities we’ve had to get to know each other a little better. I am delighted and grateful that some of these acquaintances are deepening into friendships. For me, this is at the very heart of Newtown Quilters’ Guild and I hope it is for you. Thank you for being such an open and welcoming group to all quilters. Have a happy and grateful Thanksgiving! ~ Roxanne |
