Clarifications on the Crib Quilt

Ladies,

There has been some confusion on the crib quilt.  To begin, you need only to purchase these fabrics that are highlighted in blue:

Here is what you need to buy:
YARDAGE: (44” fabric)
Multiprint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3⁄4 yard
Border 2 Print. . . . . . . . . . . . . 5⁄8 yard
Border 3 Print. . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 1⁄4 yards
Assorted Prints . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 at 1⁄8 yard, 2 at 1⁄8 yard

Sorry for the confusion.  When I copied and pasted the email from Leslee, it pasted all in black and I didn't notice the difference.  I have made the correction on the original post, if you want to look at it in full again.

The first class, which will be cutting the squares, will be held on Thursday April 29th at the church.  There will be two different sessions.  Times will be announced soon. 

Please call or email Leslee with any questions.

Brainstorming Ideas for Pursuit of Excellence

Hey Ladies of the Ward!

It is me again, Chelsie Moline, your resident Pursuit of Excellence support system!

I was thinking about getting together with the ladies who are thinking about starting the program. ESPECIALLY any of you who are on the fence, or maybe you just don't know where to start.

You know how there is a book group? (You didn't? Well, email Aubrey Patterson then and get the details because it is FUN)

You know how they all read a book every month, then they get together for an evening of snacks and happiness while they discuss the book?

WELL, I was thinking it would be good to get together with any who want to brain storm about Pursuit of Excellence. Good food, good company, good discussion about ANYTHING that might be confusing to you.

Sound good?

It does to me, too!

So, if you would like to come to my house on April 22nd at 8:30 P.M. and talk about any ideas, concerns, questions, or just to be inspired-- email me at ccmoline@hotmail.com.

I would love to get a head count first, so I know if there is enough interest for this.

I even commited a special speaker for the night-- she might be embarrassed that is what I am calling her -- hmmm... But she said she would be willing to discuss the way she has broken down some goals for Pursuit of Excellence. I am excited for the ideas she can give us!

And don't forget to take a moment to think about your hopes and dreams for yourself. It will help in choosing a goal.

You can DO this ladies. I believe in us.

Love to you,
Chelsie Moline (again, ccmoline@hotmail.com)

Book Group Reminder

Book Group is this Thursday, December 3rd at 8:30 pm at Lacey Schofield's house.  The book we are discussing is The Santa Letters by Stacy Gooch-Anderson.  Here is a brief overview of the book:


One year ago on Christmas Eve, William died. For Emma, the hit-and-run driver killed more than her husband; he killed her joy in life itself. Now, as Christmas approaches again, Emma Jensen finds herself sinking into a depression that nothing can breach; not her job, not her love for her children, and certainly not the season. Money is tight, and emotions are taut, and this year Christmas will be a meager, empty, and painful experience. Only six-year-old McKenna believes in miracles and the magic of Christmas. The rest of the family knows that Christmas can never be the same. But when a mysterious package and an ornate letter arrive on the doorstep, things begin to change. Each day, a package and a letter signed Santa arrive for the family, and together they come to understand that the joy of Christmas does not have to be lost forever, and that God s love can heal any wound, no matter how deep. The Santa Letters will take the Jensens on a journey through a Christmas experience that will have the power to heal them all.

Feel free to come even if you haven't read the book.  You will still be able to participate in this discussion just by drawing from your own Christmas experiences.  Hope to see you there!
