Sad Post

On a sad, but important note, Steve & Susie's house was lost in the 49er fire that went through Auburn last month. Scott, Amanda & Simon were also living there. They were not able to save very much, but all of them are doing ok, and that is the best we can ask for in this kind of situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them!!!

Family Quilts

We have another special request for all of you who are attending the Giguiere Family Reunion. Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma would like those of you who have received quilts from her (Baby quilts, wedding quilts, or any other quilts that she may have made you) to bring them to the reunion to be displayed. She has put a lot of time and effort into each of these quilts. It will be so great to see them all displayed in one place so that we can all enjoy her talent!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

If you are planning on flying to the reunion and don't want to take your quilt on the plane, you can either ship it to me (I am driving to North Carolina and would be happy to take it there for you) or you can probably ship it to Grandma to bring to reunion for you.
