March, 2014

 

 

WHAT ?  ALREADY ???

Yesterday the handy dandy reminder thingy on my computer said it was time to write the March newsletter.  It seems like I just did that last week!  My husband was nearby as I started into a meltdown and voiced disbelieve.  He reminded me the February bee was a week late due to the church Super Flea and February just doesn't have as many days in it as other months.  He coached me through some deep breathing exercises that got me back on track and in front of the computer again.  So here's the March newsletter. 

 

 

 

 

     BEE REPORT   

 

 

 

At the February bee volunteers completed 35 quilts and made 32 tops.  To keep us all busy at the March bee we have 8 kit-kits ready to cut, and a basket full of kits ready to be sewn.  Plus there's a pile of quilts waiting to be tied and a few ready for binding.
Our February fundraising raffle items raised a whopping $93 for the batting fund!   AND we received four donations of fabric!  That much generousity will go a long ways towards helping us with our effort.

 

  

        

 

 QUOTES & TIDBITS

 

Colonial New York City hosted the first St. Patricks day parade in 1762, when Irish immigrants in the British colonial army marched down city streets.  In subsequent years Irish fraternal organizations also held processions to St. Patrick's Cathedral. The various groups merged sometime around 1850 to form a single, grand parade.

Since 1820, 4.8 million Irish have legally immigrated to the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau

 Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck.
