It is my wish that everyone has had a good beginning of the year. Every New Year, I evaluate how well I did in the previous year and plan what I would like to accomplish in this New Year. As everyone in Thread Benders know, I make a list of projects (UFOS and new) that I want to complete in the coming year. In 2018, I had a list of 15 projects, I added 20 to that list and completed 8 projects. Usually, I do a much better job at completing pro- jects, but frustration was the word for the year in 2018. Because of this my list is much longer this year. My list is starting with 27 projects. My plan is to try to complete at least 20 and not adding any more projects to the list (Wishful Thinking). I am looking forward to this year. We have a lot of talented members and we are growing each meeting. We have our quilt show at the end of the year, and there are many quilt shows to attend and get good ideas from between now and the show. I hope that you are successful in all that you do and be sure to share each complet- ed project at a meeting so we can all be inspired to complete our own projects.

2019 is here!!! It is my wish that everyone has had a good beginning of the year.

MISSION OUTREACH
Happy New Year. Here we are in 2019 and I pray each one of you will have a most blessed year in many ways. With a new year comes opportunity for new beginnings, new resolutions and new friendships. Red River Quilters and Mission Outreach provide opportunities for all of the above; just participate. At Mission Outreach we closed 2018 as a "record breaking year" with 316 Quilts made and donated. Whether you participate in Mission Outreach or not, I encourage each member of RRQ to make at least one Love Wrapper. It might be one with the children's hands/art or one from orphan blocks or whatever design you will enjoy creating. If you are not up for do-ing the quilting and binding, how about just make a top and we'll finish it. Experience the joy of sharing your talent in this small way. Dates for Mission Outreach, 2019, are following: January 11-12, February 22-23 (this is a new date for February due to church plans), March 29-30, April 26-27, May 24-25, June 28-29, July 25-27 (3 day event), August 23-24, September 20-21, October 18-19, November 22-23. We meet from 9-3 Friday and Saturday at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2565 Airline Drive, Bossier City. Come for what ever part of the time you are available. Be sure your name is on the e-mail reminder list, or if you have ques-tions contact me, Cathy Ward. cathyHward @bellsouth.net
January 2019 Service Projects Report Welcome everyone to a new year with Red River Quilters. First off, I would like to recap the works we have accomplished in 2018 for our Service Projects. We are so proud of our members, who have accom-plished the following goals: In 2018, we delivered 465 Love Wrappers to our area hospital NICUs and that is an amazing impact for our area. Also, the Christus Cancer Center has received 350 Comfort Caps for the year. What an amazing job from everyone in our guild this past year and I am so proud of your considerable effort to helping others! Many people are involved in the making of our projects from pur-chasing fabric, cutting fabric into kits, making the kit packages and the sewing/construction of the pro-jects. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who assisted with these projects. Now I would like to introduce you to the group of people who will be the Committee for the Love Wrap-pers project: Lisa McCurdy-Chairman of Love Wrappers/Quilt Quest and set up LW workshops Lisa McGuire-Brings kits to guild meeting, collect finished quilts, wash & package for delivery, write

Hello Guild friends! The Quilters Guild of East Texas (QGET) would like to welcome you to enter a quilt (or several) in the 38th annual Tyler Quilt Show, March 22 and 23, 2019. The show has had tremendous success the last few years and we are proud of the many cate-gories and beautiful ribbons awarded as well as the monetary awards. Some of the quilts shown in Tyler have gone on to win accolades at Paducah, Dallas, Houston and other large shows, just to name a few! We would welcome your participation in our show. The theme this year is “Delectable Dresdens: Traditional to Modern and features Dresden patterns of every size, shape and color. Your entry does not have to be the theme of the show; we just want you to know in case your favorites are Dresdens. All quilts are welcome and you may have your quilt judged or simply shown by category. The Tyler Quilt Show will be held at Harvey Hall in Tyler, 2000 W. Front Street, on March 22 and 23, 2019 from 10 am – 4:30 pm. We invite your guild members to come and see all the beautiful quilts as well as shop from our many vendors. We have a great number of people from all over Texas that come yearly and we would like to show your beautiful quilts too! Entry form on our website (www.qgetx.org). We know there are many talented people out there and would like to display their work for all to see and admire. The deadline for applications is Thursday, February 6, 2019 and we would like to receive the quilts following the schedule on the application. If you plan to ship your quilts, please see the attached entry form for information on shipping. We are very specific as we treat your quilts as they were our own. Please be sure to insure your quilt if you plan to ship it. We would love to welcome any members of your guild (and non-members as well) to come and see our beautiful show. Our vendors are the highest quality and service to our community and come from near and far and always ask to return. You will have plenty to do and see while you are at the show. We look forward to seeing you and your quilts in the Tyler Quilt Show. Please contact me if you have any questions about the show or entering a quilt.
