President’s message
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! I would like to thank Martha for organizing a lovely party. I hope you all enjoyed it and if you missed it, I’m sorry because it was very fun. Jean Impey will be doing a zoom presentation at our next meeting. So make sure you are there. Also, Mountain Top will be selling tickets for their opportunity quilt at our January meeting.
I know as I write this, it is still before Christmas and you must all be scurrying around trying to get everything finished, mailed and delivered. I received very nice feedback about my President’s Challenge, so I hope that you will all take part in it. It has been a fun year, and I can’t believe how quickly this year is going.
That’s about all I have to say for now. So everyone enjoy your holiday and if you are traveling, be safe. See you next year!!
Angela Smith – President

retreat lite update
Thank you to all 24 of our Thumb Butte Quilters’ Guild members for your enthusiasm in signing up for our upcoming two-day RETREAT LITE day camp set for February 5th and 6th, 2024. Based on our venue size, we are at capacity!! That means that we can place names on a waiting list if you’d like to be included should someone’s plans change and they cannot attend. Please contact Dana Swain to add your name to the waitlist. If you should make it into an opened space, your $15.00 fee will be collected at that time.
Once again, thank you Thumb Butte Quilters!
