President’s Message
March will be here shortly! This is the time of year when I just hold my breath and wait for warm weather. I guess after 35 years in Arizona, I have become a desert rat.
On another note, the guild cannot run without volunteers. There will be board positions-which are open to anyone-and non-board positions. Please consider something! We can’t run without YOU!
Make sure you check the website for guild information. Our speaker this month is Kim Oleson and she will be presenting on Zoom due to an injury. There will be no class on Tuesday.
I hope you are working on your President’s Challenge. I happened to meet some volunteers from Honor Flight and they are excited about this project. They said that 42-45 inches is awesome and the veterans love them. If you are doing a Quilt of Valor, please follow their guidelines: The recommended size of a Quilt of Valor is 60″ x 80″; it must be a minimum of 55″ x 65″ and maximum of 72″ x 90.
In closing, our membership is growing! This means we have so many opportunities to learn from each other. Be sure to reach out and make everyone feel welcome and make new friends.
Thank you and happy quilting!
Angela Smith – President
