president’s message
Hello Quilty Friends!
Wow — what an amazing meeting we had! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended and for your patience as we navigated through Rob Appell’s energetic, inspirational whirlwind of a presentation! He was on fire and honestly, I couldn’t bring myself to stop him after an hour — my apologies for going over time , but let’s be real — HE WAS WORTH IT!
His classes were just as fun and empowering! We all left feeling like “Yes, we CAN do it!”
Looking ahead… mark your calendars!
Our Quilt Show is coming up June 13 & 14 at Prescott High School — it’s going to be amazing, and we need everyone’s help to make it shine!
Quilt Registration Extended!
Thanks to the fabulous Carrie Casto (not Castro! ), we’ve extended quilt registration by TWO MORE WEEKS! So let’s get ‘er done!
It’s also time to vote for your incoming guild officers! Please join us in supporting:
- Jamie Davis – President
- Deb Johnson – VP
- Judith Dobke – Treasurer
- Dana Swain & Holly Purdom – Sharing Secretary duties
Also, a bittersweet note — our beloved and hardworking Sharla Peterson will be stepping down from her role in Marketplace. We are SO grateful for everything she’s done! If you or someone you know can fill her shoes (size: FABULOUS ), please reach out!
Presidential Challenge Quilts
Reminder: these need to be registered in order to be displayed at the show! If you handed them off to me and they haven’t been registered yet, swing by the shop and we’ll do it together!
Let’s keep the energy high and the stitches strong — can’t wait to see all your beautiful quilts and smiling faces!
Happy sewing,
Coco Alaniz, President
