Yesterday, Apple Country Quilt Guild had it's annual Christmas Luncheon at Charlie's Italian Restaurant here in Ellijay. We had a wonderful turnout and a really enjoyable gathering.
After the luncheon, some of the members took lap quilts made by the guild and gifts donated by members to the nursing home in town.
Diane, our President, sent in the picture and this note:
"We all enjoyed our visit to the Nursing Home as much as the residents. We delivered over 15 quilts and numerous other gift items for their Christmas. We arrived to find them in the dining room enjoying a pizza party and were able to visit with them individually and as a group. They were all so sweet thanking us for the quilts and even inviting us to their homes to eat or see their sewing. One dear lady told me she would fix anything I wanted if I'd come for dinner. We all left with the spirit of Christmas filling our hearts and the desire to rush home and make more quilts. It was the perfect way to end our Christmas celebration. Hopefully, others can go along the next time we have quilts to deliver."
