Capitol City Quilt Guild (CCQG) was organized in March, 1984, to encourage fellowship, cooperation, and learning among area quilters and to promote public appreciation for creativity and high standards for quilting.  CCQG is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization giving to the community education, hosting quilt shows to spread the art of quilting.  The Guild members make and donate quilts for various charities and as well as provide free education seminars for the public on the art of quilting.

Dear CCQG Members,

The holidays have arrived!  I spent Thanksgiving with my daughter, son-in-law, grandson, my mom and my daughter's in-laws.  We had a lovely dinner and time together.  I will be spending Christmas at my daughter's in-laws opening gifts and feasting on a prime rib dinner.  My son and his family live in North Carolina, therefore, I will be shipping their gifts.  I have already ordered my grand-daughter's gifts and have most of my shopping completed.  I put up my Christmas tree and have decorated my house for Christmas.  I am feeling quite accomplished!  Let the festivities begin!

My son, David, and his business partner were on Shark Tank pitching their FOAM cooler. which is a lightweight beach cooler made out of the same material as Croc shoes.  The highlight of the show was when they had a steamroller come into the studio and run over the cooler.  It popped right back to its original shape!  As the steamroller was backing up to exit the studio, it ran into the stage damaging it.  They ended up with a deal with Daymond!  I'm so proud of my son, and I hope his business is very successful!

Are you busy sewing quilts or last minute projects to give as gifts?  This is a busy time of year, but I always find time to sew!  Happy Holidays!  Let us sew, let us sew, let us sew!

Kathy Kittle
