President’s message
Hi everyone! I keep waiting for the crispness in the air, I guess it’s just wishful thinking because I’m not sure 80° is really crisp. I guess when it snows, I will eat my words.
This month Joyce Lawson, who is a quilt appraiser will be at our meeting. Our class on Tuesday will be presented by Pat Noel. So make sure you check the website for the details and sign up. We will be working to reschedule Jean Impey’s lecture. I stopped in to the class that she held on Tuesday and everyone was having so much fun, so I hope some of the participants will bring their “faces” with them.
Also, this month Red Rock Quilters will be bringing in their opportunity quilt to sell tickets. Also, if you have taken blocks to for our opportunity quilt, please don’t forget to return those to Cheryl Giovenco, Sherry Hubbs or Sharon Harris.
Don’t forget to support our company store and thank you in advance for your help in helping pack out the boxes. It gets done really quickly when everybody can help a little.
That’s all for me at the moment. Hope to see you all at the meeting!
Happy quilting!
Angela Smith – President
