President's Message
Hello, Quilters! Happy April. Hope you’re enjoying spring weather at last. Also hope you really enjoyed Empire’s Quilt Show last month. Our guild gets better and better at putting on a quilt show. Huge kudos to Aleeda and Betsy for their second amazing production. And it’s so reassuring to know that they’ve been showing the ropes to Shune and Sonnyia, who will carry on the tradition next time.
Thanks also to all of you who helped make the show a success, by working on the Show Committee or Raffle Quilt, by entering your quilts, by working at set-up or during the show or at take-down. Plus a special thanks from the co-presidents to all who entered a Presidents Challenge quilt. The skill level and the variety of interpretations of “the 1920s” was impressive!
Speaking of members taking on new responsibilities, at our April meeting we will present a roster of incumbent and proposed board members, with elections at our May meeting. There are still several openings, so if you haven’t already volunteered for a position, please consider filling in a gap. And, ALL MEMBERS please remember to HELP all board members! Keep in mind that they’re giving up their time for no pay, so at least show them some respect, and help in any way you can. Thanks.
Please support your local quilt shops. We’re lucky to have them.
