Guild Meeting March 21, 2023 7PM via Zoom

Rhonda will be our guest at our March Guild meeting to be held via Zoom (members only). She has taught in Colorado, Florida and Kansas, as well as internationally in Kenya, Poland and the Ukraine. Rhonda’s life experience provides her with an endless source of ideas especially her time spent in Africa as a girl. She has won many awards for her art quilts, and many have been exhibited in the U.S. and worldwide.

Food Donations to Bucks County Services
Thank you to everyone who generously brought food to our 2022 meetings 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
March 2023 March is here, can you believe it? I always get itchy to work in the garden around this time of year, but I know I should wait. Days are slowly getting warmer, and the crocus, daffodils, and tulips are beginning to tease us with their green blades popping out of the ground. This year, Daylight Savings Time begins at midnight on March 12th. I can’t wait! The days are getting lighter and warmer. Bring on the sun! Of course, St. Patrick’s Day is on the 17th and the first day of spring is March 20th. Remember to get your free Rita’s water ice! But did you know National Quilting Day is always the third Saturday in March? This year it’s on the 18th of March. Wait! What? There’s a day just to celebrate quilting? The Quilt Alliance and the National Quilt Museum are proud to be the coordinators of this special day! Check out the Quilt Alliance website: www.quiltalliance.org for lots of great information. Here’s what you can do to celebrate this special day:
