REMINDER TO ALL ENTERING THE CHALLENGE:

For those who know her, Cecelia White is home from Houston so will not be get-
ting mail at that general delivery address in Texas. She will be home until mid January

REMEMBERING VELMA Betty Bailey and Janet Coggins took four quilts to Fresenius Medical Care,
where our dear friend Velma McCraw took dialysis treatments prior to her death last year. They were
excited to get them, and there will be pictures to show at the January meeting. Velma ’ s sister Olivia
said she knew Velma would be “ overwhelmed and in awe ” of the love shown her, but most of us would
agree we are the ones who were awed by Velma.
Pay the piggy $.25!!! Don ’ t have a name tag? See Alma Barnes or phone her at 1-405-257-2788
A NOTE FROM YOUR NEWSLETTER EDITOR
Many of you have new e-mail addresses due to the recent change of ownership from Charter to
Allegiance, and there are a few who will be changing shortly, including me. Therefore, I will have a copy
of the roster (as it stands this week) at the January meeting. Please check your name, mail and e-mail
address, telephone numbers, etc., and make any changes, and I will have the 2007 roster ready to
hand out or e-mail by the February meeting. Also, my e-mail has been disconnected since before
Christmas, so if you sent me something recently, you may want to call to see if I got it. Thanks, Betty
2007 BLOCK OF THE MONTH
Our new Block of the Month will start with the January meeting, and Elva will have the first pattern for us
at the meeting. Most blocks will be 12 ” , but she may also have instructions for 6 ” blocks, for those who
want to make a smaller piece. This year ’ s theme is the Oklahoma Centennial.
LIBRARY NEWS
Evelyn has located a copy of the Guild ’ s library policy, and will present it at the January meeting. It will
be posted in the library at every meeting, and is on the web- site. Gail Hammond has helped alphabetize
the library contents, and now an inventory is in order. Any help from Guild members with this project will
be greatly appreciated. Once the inventory is complete, the policy will be enforced more consistently.
Evelyn is also working on a list of authors, which should be helpful. If you have suggestions about how
to improve the library, please contact Evelyn.

your birthday is! (Not the year, just month and day.) Here is a little gift tag poem Doris wanted to share
with all of you:
Threads of Friendship Threads of Friendship That will never break.
Thank you for the laughter, For the good times that we share. Thanks for always listening For trying to
be fair. Thank you for your comfort When things are going bad. Thank you for the shoulder To cry on
when I ’ m sad. This gift is a reminder That all my lifetime through I ’ ll be thanking heaven for A special
friend like you.

Happy New Year!!! I hope all of you had a great Christmas with family and friends, and safe travel. We
have many new experiences to look forward to in this new year in our Guild. In January, Mary Dubois
of Quilter ’ s Corner in Midwest City will present a program on blended quilts. Quilter ’ s Corner will
also have a vendor booth for that meeting. More exciting programs are yet to come. Our new Block of
the Month program also begins in January. This year ’ s theme will be Oklahoma ’ s Centennial. We
had a wonderful Christmas party, and the exchange of 6-1/2 ” blocks seemed to go very well. There
was a lot of good food, fun and fellowship. A special thank you to those who stayed to help with
cleanup.
