Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild Meeting 

July 8, 2025

Guild President Pam opened our "Christmas in July meeting.

Pam welcomed new members and guests.

We were asked to bring ideas to talk about and display for Christmas 

(i.e. gifts, neighbor gifts, tree decorations, table runners, quilts, etc.)

   so we can have incentives to get started on our Christmas projects!
