PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello Fellow Quilters,
It was really nice to be able to get together “in person” at our December meeting. We had a wonderful presentation by Aleeda Crawley, Betsy Vinegrad, and Louise Naples showing us their first quilt and a more recent quilt and recounting their quilting journey and the evolution of their quilting style.
We were pleased to welcome our Past President, Gretchen Peacock, to the meeting and present her with the camper quilt put together by our members along with some additional bonus blocks. Gretchen was kind enough to gift the guild with scissor holders and great centerpieces that were passed along to the members after the meeting. Thank you Gretchen for your lovely gifts.
A big thank you to everyone who provided items for our Holiday Raffle. We received a wide variety of really lovely items. The raffle raised $1,329 for the guild.
As a reminder, our meeting on January 14 th will be virtual and our speaker will be Rhonda Pierce, who is a spokesperson for Schmetz Needles. I hope you can join us for that presentation.
If you have a quilt that you would like to share with us for a “virtual” show and tell, please email me a picture in advance of the January meeting. I hope everyone had a great holiday season and wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year. Lisa Kehrle Hello Fellow Quilters,
