President's Message
PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Hello Quilters, and Happy June! We hope you all have good plans for the summer, including time for plenty of quilting. Our September meeting should have a good Show & Tell, but remember our tradition of limiting it to 2 quilts per member.
This is the final presidents’ message from us. It’s been a good 4 years, and an honor to serve as your co-presidents. Thanks to all of you who helped in any way. It takes many dedicated members to make our guild as good as it is. We’re lucky to have a president-elect who is knowledgeable and nice. Please give Gretchen any help you can. Also please help all our volunteers, all of whom do necessary tasks. And please consider volunteering yourself!Time to RENEW your Membership CLICK HERE
A Message from our Newsletter editor Susie Dippel:
I would like to thank everyone who contributed articles to this year’s newsletter. I am sure our members appreciate the time it took the contributors to share their knowledge and thoughts - I know I do! We will have a 2019 summer issue and the theme is travel. I am looking for short articles about the quilts and fabrics you encounter when you travel. A quilt show, museum exhibit or a fun fabric store - tell your fellow quilters about it! Please submit articles and pictures by Friday, July 26th.
We are always looking for your input. If you have an idea for a monthly or quarterly column please talk to me at the June meeting or drop me an email at newsletter@empirequilters.net. Thanks!
