FCQ Holiday Party !

Special Events—Snow Much Fun

Faithful Circle’s Holiday Party will be on December 11 th at 6:00 pm in the fellowship hall of the church, a

purchased ticket required.

Tickets are sold out but please contact Becky Anuskiewicz to be placed on the waiting list if a cancelation

ticket becomes available.

It’s going to be Snow Much Fun with delicious food from Paisans of Lisle, the ever popular 6” block

fabric exchange, plus comedic entertainment.

We will continue the tradition of the 6” square fabric exchange. In keeping with our Snow Much Fun

theme, the 6” squares exchanged should be snow themed fabric. Snowflakes, snowmen, snowballs,

snow angels are all included in the fun. Start with 1 yard of quilt store quality fabric and cut it up into

forty-two 6” squares. The fabric square exchange is an optional activity but has been a highlight of past

holiday parties. Participants will divide into groups and form circles, and then we’ll take turns walking

around the circle to trade squares. If you haven’t participated in the exchange before and think this

sounds a little crazy, be assured that it works and it’s a lot of fun. Bring your squares, jump in, and you’ll

take home 42 new Snow Much Fun 6” squares.

Show you care, Donate Underwear is back again. In the spirit of sharing, we are collecting new bras and

underwear with tags, to be given to DuPagePads. https://dupagepads.org/about-dupagepads/ Your

donated underwear will help the homeless throughout DuPage County.
