For those lucky individuals who "won" last month, please remember to bring your Round Tuit.

The 2012 Block of the Month project, Delectable Mountain, needs to be turned in at this meeting (at least have the top finished and if possible quilted). Mary is planning a wonderful gift for those who have participated and completed the Delectable Mountain, so if you have not let her know you are going to bring your quilt, please let her know by e-mail at gmbakbak@msn.com.

The Christmas Challenge (something with a Santa somewhere on it) is also due at November's meeting.  These projects will be used for decorations at our Christmas Luncheon on December 4, and you will receive a special prize in December for participating.

The last day to purchase tickets for the Christmas Luncheon on December 4 is Nov. 20. Tickets are $10 each.  Our guest speaker at the luncheon will be Amy McClellan, whose pattern, Salt Box Sampler, we will be completing for our 2013 Block of the Month. The patterns will be available for purchase at the November meeting for $12.50.

CHARITY OPPORTUNITY:  When you come to the Christmas Luncheon, please make and bring pillow cases to donate or canned goods.
