President's Message
PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE
Hey there, Quilters, we hope May has gotten off to a good start for you, with lots of quilting. I remember as a little girl we celebrated May Day by dancing around a May Pole. I wonder if anyone still does that, in the USA anyway. Maybe I will honor that tradition by making a quilt with flowery fabric, which shouldn’t be hard to find. Or maybe I will make a quilt with a horse theme, in honor of the Kentucky Derby, America’s oldest continuously held sporting event (FYI, the second oldest is the Westminster Dog Show right here in NYC).
Empire’s May meeting will include our annual elections. There are still a few positions not yet filled, so please consider volunteering, Your guild needs you.
Our May meeting also features a members Bazaar, so bring lots of cash. There will be a guild table, where all the money goes to the guild, so if you have a few treasures you can part with, bring them.
Support your local quilt shops. We’re lucky to have them!Lee and Kitty, co-Presidents
