SewCalGal wishes to thank the following Sponsors that have generously donated prizes for the Quilter's Christmas Party:
ASF/Lightware Solutions/The Reading Light (Beam N Read), Kelly Jackson of I Have A Notion (IHAN), Island Batik, Martingale, MyMemories, American & Efird LLC, SewEZI Quilting, Lark Crafts, Cozy Quilt Designs, Craftsy, Judy Chain of Sew Fun Quilts, New Leaf Stitches, Rebecca Goldsmith of Piece O' Cake Designs, Fabric.com, Ebony Love (Love Bug Studios) and Lily Patch Quilts.
As prizes are still coming in and their are plenty of prizes, I may do some shuffling before the party on the 9th as to what is a door prize vs raffle prize vs silent auction prize. But I think you will get the idea that there are plenty of prizes. Yes, so many prizes and hopefully more sponsors will donate too, that it just seems appropriate we also have a silent auction too!

This is AWESOME! From a former military member, military wife, and now a military mom.. I love this!!
This is going to be so much fun! Wish I could be there but since I can't I'm putting a check in the mail. Hope you raise a ton of money!
I'll be there via blog post! What fun, and a great cause. I have a cousin with 3 grandsons in Afghanistan right now - they all shipped out together in late summer.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Love all that you and the wonderful and generous sponsors are doing for Operation Homefront. My Dad was career Air Force and my son who is in the Marine Corps, just returned a few days ago from deployment in Afghanistan. This is so great for the military families, as it's really the while family that serves. Thank You!
I would love to join in the Quilter's Chtistmas Party!
I will be sure to make a special Christmas post on December 9th.
For the last few Christmases we have been honored to share the day with a family friend in the military service. He is currently in the reserves and will be joining us again this year. Next year he will be returning to active duty and and we can only hope he will be able to join us again next Christmas.
To help spread the news and share the fun, do I add a button to the side of my blog?
