2016 Woodsy Christmas Party

We were treated to lots of fun, ornament instruction, laughter and good food at our annual Christmas Party.  Due to rennovations at our regular meeting place, this year's party was held at the St. Croix Country Club in Calais. 



   
Our annual paper towel collection to benefit Sarah's House amounted to 403 rolls.
Geri Reynolds won the Connecting Threads collection by donating 64 rolls!  Thank you to all who participated.

    

 
  

 
 
 



 



Something That Lasts
read by Pam McGarrigle


I’ve been a hard worker all my life, but ‘most all my work has been the kind
   that “perishes with the usin’,”as the Bible says.
That’s the discouragin’ thing about a woman’s work......
   If a woman was to see all the dishes that she had to wash before she died,
   piled up in one pile, she’d lie down and die right then and there.
I’ve always had the name o’ bein’ a good housekeeper, but when I’m
   dead and gone there ain’t anybody goin’ to think o’ the floors I’ve scrubbed,
   and the old clothes I’ve patched, and the stockin’s I’ve darned......
But when one of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren sees one o’ these quilts,
   they’ll think about Aunt Jane, and, wherever I am then, I’ll know I ain’t forgotten.
 
                                                                 -Eliza Calvert, Aunt Jane of Kentucky
