In 2024, the CVQA Ronald McDonald committee completed the Butterfly by Tula Pink (pictured below), which will be auctioned off at the 2025 Light Up the House event on December 10th. Once again, WKRN Channel 2 News will host and showcase the event throughout the day. The final tabulation on donations will be made during the 6 p.m. news broadcast, and hopefully the goal will be reached and the House lit up!

Our Ronald McDonald House Committee is nearing completion on this year’s “Bunny Bunch” quilt, pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. Committee chair Maureen Prester-Henry is displaying three of the bunnies in the photo below. But they’ve been multiplying like – well, you know! – and there will be 24 in the finished quilt.

Wow! Our Community Care Committee received 27 quilts, 17 Owl Buddies, and totes and pillowcases at the November meeting! In addition to that, Carol Stankiewicz donated five beautiful quilts for the domestic violence center's Christmas party. We have 22 women's quilts right now and I expect to get a few more at the December holiday party, so we will have enough for Bridges of Williamson County's Christmas party for women who have completed their yearlong program, and women who are currently staying at the shelter. Thank you all for your...

Is it almost November? I’m having a difficult time keeping track!! It seems like we just had our field trip visits for long arm demos and to learn “What you need to do to make your long-armer happy.” And now it’s time to prepare for an in-person November Guild meeting. It will be “sew” much fun to, once again, hear the chatter and see smiles that happen prior, during, and after guild meetings. I’m excited and I hope you are, too!

It has been an interesting time for us: We had a graduation at Vet Court on September 22. Eileen and Joyce attended with me to wrap the graduates in their quilts. There was a full house with lots of distinguished guests and the graduates loved their quilts. Thank you for supporting this noble cause. I supplied a bunch of quilts to Kathleen Hardin that she will present in November at her RV campground in Florida. We had a booth at Vet Fest on October 4, and presented six quilts to...

Even though we haven't had in-person meetings for two months, CCC has received/finished up six quilts - and I’m sure I will be taking away a carload of quilts at our November meeting! We are in need of ladies’ quilts for the domestic violence center (Bridges of Williamson County) Christmas party for women that have completed their program. I have about nine quilts and will need about 20 or more. So, if you have an extra quilt or two lying around, please bring it to the November or December meeting. This...
