She said that I was the first person she met in the guild and that I took her around the first time she came to the meeting. I showed her where everything was: the food, the charity project, the free table and introduced her around. I am ashamed to say that I don&#8217;t even remember. I do that so often so automatically. I am thrilled that she remembered that kindness. She is a good member of the guild and I am glad I started her off on the right foot.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39104\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39104\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-39104\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Wine Country pillowcase\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/DSCN2065-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine Country pillowcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As a bonus fire victims in the Wine Country also win, because we wrapped all the gifts in pillowcases, which will be donated to an organization that will distribute them to Wine Country fire victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BAMQG Winter Extravaganza-palooza was the weekend of the 9th.
