Meeting Cancellation
Out of an abundance of caution, the Board has decided to cancel the March meeting, scheduled for Monday, March 16th. The Delaware Division of Public Health issued information on March 10th advising older individuals and those with existing health conditions to follow CDC guidance that recommends avoiding crowds as much as possible. We made this decision to reduce the risk for our members, as well as those individuals that depend upon the services offered by the Senior Center. The State of Delaware canceled its event that was to be held at the Senior Center on March 11th and we are taking direction from them.
Our speaker, Michele Scott, completely agreed with this decision and is going to reschedule later this year. Thank you for understanding.

President

Quilting Bees:
Bees are small groups of quilters who meet regularly in member's homes to share their quilting successes and challenges. Some bees may become involved in special projects, trips or demonstrations; others simply enjoy each other’s company while sewing. Talking is always encouraged! The bees give Ladybug members a chance to get to know one another in a smaller group setting. If you would like to join a bee, please visit with Peggy Gam at the next meeting. Or contact Ashley Malinowski via email: midnightquilt@aol.com.
Quilt In A Box:
Groups of twelve may participate in a Quilt- In-A-Box group. Each person in the group picks their own fabrics (instructions about types of fabric to choose and how much is needed are provided). After selecting and pre-washing the fabrics, you put them into a box with you name. Each month you trade boxes with others in your group and take home someone else's fabric. During the month you make a machine or hand pieced block or an appliqued block. You will make the same block each month until you have made one for each member of your group. At the end of the year, a get- together is planned and members of the group exchange the blocks they have made for each other. Each participant ends up with twelve blocks made from her choice of fabric.... Enough for a nice sampler... The swap is an excellent opportunity to get experience in making blocks with fabric you maybe wouldn't chose yourself. It also shows how the same block can look SO different when made from various fabrics and fabric placement.
Delaware Hospice Tree:
Every year Delaware Hospice asks organizations to design and decorate a Christmas tree that they then auction off. The Ladybugs have a volunteer that works with the Delaware Hospice to design an ornament. At the August meeting, members participate in making the ornaments for the tree. The Hospice Tree will be decorated and on display at Cokesbury Village in November.
Our 2017 Tree is pictured below:
The Ministry of Caring is the recipient this year of our decorated 6’ tree.
We made a donation of ornaments to the Tri-State Bird Rescue which will be selling them to raise money at their upcoming craft show.
