December Christmas Party
Each year our guild has a Christmas Social filled with fun, laughter, music, and good food. A buffet with a bazillion food choices, a serenade by Wendy and her ukulele with clever lyrics, and a left/right gift exchange. This year we had a gingerbread house building competition that had roofs collapsing, and doors that went nowhere. It was a very special night.
November Schoolhouse
Each year our guild has a school house event that presents mini sessions where we learn a new skill or two. Deb demonstrated creating Swedish Stars. Helen gave us a look at specialty rulers and offered to share any of the rulers she has on hand. Jennifer showed us the possibilities that silk screen printing could add to our projects. Peggy shared tips and tricks for intricate beading on cloth.
Free-motion Workshop
Kristin Kulinski held two free-motion workshops for our members - Sept 27 & Oct 11.
She shared many tricks, tips, and treats that add artistic magic and enhancement to your quilts.
Divide your project into sections. Each section can tell its own story but be sure to be consistent with your spacing throughout the quilt. Hiccups are okay because nothing in nature is perfect.
LCQG Trunk Show
This fall, the guild held a trunk show through the New Berlin Recreation Department.
We showcased more than 50 different pieces: from pillows, table runners, wall hangings, carry bags, quilted jacket, doll quilts, and treasured bed quilts. Our audience consisted of 27 spectators, which included 6 guild members.
Wendy and Lois want to thank our members who shared their masterpieces for this event.

BLESSING OF THE HANDS
Chaplain: "For the Lord your God will bless you in all the works of your hands, and your joy will be complete." (Deuteronomy 16:15)
Quilters & Others: When we reach out our hands to provide care, to do our work as part of the care of others, we are saying to others, "You are important to us, and you are cared for by the efforts of
Froedert Hospital Thank You Luncheon
Each year Froedert Hospital holds a luncheon to thank those who have donated their time and talents to make quilts for their seriously ill patients. Last year the hospital had 1400 severely ill patients that had a need for lovingly made quilts. The quilts are used most often in the paliative care, hospice, ER, and 6 different ICU's but are available to others. Last year 800 quilts were received.
Quilt Raffle Brought in $455
Each year the LCQG members choose a block pattern to make and contribute. The project for 2024 fits a queen size bed with a mixture of blues, yellows, and creams. The quilt is raffled off and the money is used to buy batting for the cuddle quilt kits. This year the raffle earned $455. It was a very popular quilt.
The drawing was held at our March meeting and the lucky winner was Jeanne Schultz.
