Quilt Raffle
Winner drawn on Dec. 7
Maisy Daisy
Here is Eleanor helping MT pull the winning ticket.
The 2024 Friends of the Library Raffle Quilt is the 34th benefit quilt that the New Sandwich Quilters have made for Wayne’s Cary Memorial Library. It is machine pieced and quilted, and measures 88″ x 90″ (generous queen). The pattern is called Maisy Daisy. It is a string quilt, made with 1.5″ pieces of fabric from the members of the group. These fabrics, from group members past and present, mean that many memories are stitched into the quilt.
Thanks to the FOL members who helped sell tickets this year: Jan Cook, Elaine Briggs, MT Clark, Patti Lawson, Jo Moore, Kim Moulton, Bev Petell, Ellen Randall, Joan Sandige, Wendy Shaw, Wendy Smith, Sue Spalding, and Holly Stevenson.

The
Gathering Place
Jim Perkins and
Theresa Kerchner
The Gathering Place is a gift to the community from the family and friends of Emily Mary Maverick Perkins Harrison. Take a look at the two lovely plaques recently added. We will use it more in the warmer months but it is undeniably lovely in all light, in all seasons.
A warm thank you to all who donated to The Gathering Place. The construction costs have been completely covered. Going forward any funds donated will be used for future maintenance, as needs arise. This December image was taken by Ken Spalding.

A Lovely Gift
to the Williams House Lawn
This summer a new garden volunteer, Marianne Butak, stepped up to help Jamie Ault with the Williams House Gardens. As Marianne spent time in the gardens she could see what amazing and expert work Jamie has done to design, install and maintain the plantings over the years. Jamie mentioned a bench that was once there. That inspired Marianne to be the high bidder on a lovely stone bench in the library auction, which she has bestowed in
honor of Jamie. A plaque will be added. We thank both Jamie and Marianne for their energy and generosity!

Now is the time to check your trees and bushes

The pole has clippers, not a blade (for safety reasons).
