QUILT — SNEAK PREVIEW ...by Sheila Hungerford
The Plymouth Guild quilters are happy
to announce that this year’s raffle quilt is
finished. It’s a beauty! A variation on the
traditional Flying Geese pattern, we’re
eager for all of you to see it.
We will be making our gala presentation
of the quilt to all of you some Sunday
soon (at both services!). We’re hoping to
have a brass band, or at least a trumpet
fanfare. Stay tuned.
Thanks to those of you who responded to
our recent request for help in marketing.
We’ll be calling on all of you to help us
sell tickets. A picture of the finished quilt
will be sent to all so that those of you with
