Carolyn Donnell was kind enough to share what is happening with her chapter:
We are now getting back into some routine after summer and spectacular fall. We held our annual gathering in September and it was nice to look at the work completed in the past year. The more than 30 Walker Caddies were delivered by Linda Tremblay and Donna Perron to local agencies such as DYP Rehab, The Lamp, Clover and Russell Park nursing homes. They were much appreciated. One caddy stayed at MTM as Sylvia always has a ‘spare’ walker for seniors when they visit the center.

This is the time we also look ahead to new challenges and we
decided a main focus will be those people undergoing oncology. Small
blanket/lap quilts are appreciated by patients who feel the cold more than most
while undergoing treatments.
This is the time of year for church craft fairs and
supporting local community fundraising. The quilts made and raffled are usually
a major component in many local fairs. Once again, Linda Tremblay and her
quilting buddy have made quilts and baskets that not only will assist
fundraising their church, but also a quilt that will help with supporting the
Androscoggin Animal Shelter. Picture of
her Maple Leaves quilt for the Shelter is included in this report below.
As a group, we decided that we loved the turning UFOs into
CFOs project that we modified for our small group. We made our lists, and on
the first Monday of the month we share our completed projects, and for those
who met their goal, names go into a basket for a prize. The choice is a gift certificate
to a quilt shop or the monetary equivalent. This is a great way to share and
have fun with it. This edition must seem like it’s all about Linda Tremblay,
because she was the winner for October.
So many beautiful items were made, and unfortunately we
don’t have enough space to show them all. So in each Patchwork, we’ll try to
share more of the beautiful work done by all! This edition has Judy Doucette
holding her very beautiful Wool Appliqué in fall colors (her favorite).
