A Traveling Bee is being planned. A lot of you know that Linda O'Donnell and her two sisters have made a quilt that has ben accepted in the Houston Quilt Show this fall (YEAH Linda!). One of her sisters belongs to the Lake and Mountain Quilters Guild in Seneca, SC and they are showing their quilt in their quilt show in September. I would like to get a group together to go up there. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get up there.

Hold the date--it is Sept 21. I've heard good things about their quilt show.

You can see information about the Guild and the show at www.LMQG.org.

Traveling Bee

Thanks to all of you who have filled the critter beds. The Northeast Georgia Humane Society staff and the doggies and Kitties greatly appreciate your generosity. In the last month I took in over 60 beds perfect timing for the humane society as they had rescued 70 dog over the weekend. I have covers for the beds, all you need to do is put your little scraps into them, sew up the end, give them to me, and I’ll deliver them. Please be careful that no pins or large

pieces of fabric go in, batting is fine. The beasties like the beds soft and squishy so stuff them loosely. Thanks Again.
