2006 BLOCK OF THE MONTH
REMINDER TO ALL ENTERING THE CHALLENGE:
Have your top done by the February, 2007 meeting. We will
show the tops and vote on the winner at that meeting.
Remember: You do NOT have to follow the printed layout.
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
when she will go back and have surgery on January 19th. Send those encouragement
cards and letters to her home address: 1004 N. Mimosa Lane, Midwest City OK 73110.
Her cell phone number is 610-6102.
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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAPPY JANUARY BIRTHDAY TO: Paulette Karcher (6); Sherri Costerisan (7); Harriett Howard (7); Gail
Hammond (13); Lee Ann Stusnick (15); Tribby Hardway (23); Elaine Nelson (25) and Sharon Roberts

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.

President - Doris Williams 273-9585
Vice President -Janet Coggins 273-2868

Corresponding Secretary -Betty Bailey 275-6559
Treasurer— Annette Jones 405-257-6742
Ladies, I am getting information compiled for our Turning Twenty year. A request: All of our past
presidents, please send me the year you were president and the names of your officers and
committee members. You can send me an e-mail or give it to me at guild meeting.
Wow!! We had 30 paid campers at February quilt camp and also had five ladies who came by for a
visit and are supposed to be at our next meeting. Heather Nelson won the basket of 50 fat quarters.
We want to thank Hancock’s of Shawnee for Bingo prizes (I can’t remember who won those) and three
large bundles of fat quarters for door prizes, which were won by Annette Jones, Ann Woods and
Lorraine Beaudette. Next time you are in the store, please thank them in person. Jean really started
something, followed by Tribby, Shirley and Pamala — a gorgeous giant Lone Star cut from beautiful
fabric. Look for them at Show and Tell soon! Thank you, Tribby, for a great job.
We have started the new Block of the Month, which will be a Centennial quilt. If you live out of town or
are unable to attend the meetings, please e-mail Elva if you want to receive the patterns. The March
meeting will also be the start of the Box of Chocolates exchange and we are looking forward to it.
A note about the Treasure Chest: Donations are supposed to be sewing notions or things pertaining
to quilting, or something you make—maybe a small wall hanging — not dishes—that’s too heavy for
Jean to tote around.
Maybe the nasty weather is about over for this winter, but when it is cold we do get to stay inside and
get a lot of sewing done!
Keep on stripping,
Doris
