President’s Message
Greetings, Quilter Pals!
WOW! I just realized that this is my LAST President’s Message! WOW! What a year it’s been! Let’s just put COVID aside and remember the good things about our most recent year–speakers: Barb Janson, Kathleen Bond, Cindy Lohbeck. The UFO Sale! And next up is our year-end party! Think about all the out-of-this-world “Show & Tell” we’ve seen! Woohoo!
Thank you, Quilt Sisters! And Thank You all for your friendship! I truly don’t know what I would do without my quilter pals! And thanks to all of you who took on my President’s Challenge! What fun quilts you created with your orphan blocks! We’ll look forward to seeing them on display in future quilt shows!! Woohoo! Special thanks to my Executive Committee. Your being there for me did a lot to contribute to the success of this year! I love you all!!

Greetings, Sisters of the Thread!
The threads that bind us and identify us are in our quilts, on our clothes, embedded in our rugs and carpets, and more often than not, at our house, on the floor rather than in my quilt room trash can. However, it is a small price to pay when we present our treasures to loved ones, friends and Quilt Sisters.
I am so looking forward to our Guild’s new year of projects, fun and fellowship. Carolyn is going to be a tough act to follow, but I promise that we will have a great time supporting our August 7th Quilt Show, monthly meetings, quilt classes and our guild endeavors.
Speaking of the upcoming Quilt Show, if you have scraps needing a project look for handmade projects to donate to the Show’s Marketplace! I am creating steering wheel covers, snap bags and self-binding receiving blankets with coordinating burp cloths to sell for the Guild. You don’t need to make dozens, 6 plus items would be a great donation to generate guild income. If you need ideas, please contact Karen Danknick for assistance, and I will be glad to share my ideas with you, too.
We still have some positions that need filling for our guild. Ways & Means, and Community Service (Phyllis Byrnes is willing to help out and mentor…thank you, My Dear Friend) need people willing to take on the required tasks to move our guild forward. Both positions come with a key and code to our TBQG storage facility! Woohoo…now that’s an offer that doesn’t come around everyday! So, if you have a heart to help your guild in the 2021-2022 year, please let me know, because we could really use your help.
Let’s grow our membership, encourage one another and let our talents shine in the warm Arizona sun!
Blessings,
Nan DeChant, President Elect

You Are Invited to Our TBQ Installation/Birthday Social on July 12th.
This is a special time to recognize our outgoing officers and committee chairs and install the new. We have a game of Left Right Center planned and of course “Show and Tell”.
There will be lemonade and lemony treats. After all, “When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade”. Right?
For the game of Left Right Center, please bring 3- 10″ squares of “lemony” fabrics (yellow or fabric with yellow in it). The winner at each table will go home with a “Lemon Layer Cake” (all of the 10″ squares from your table).

Adult Center Display
Our yellow and blue quilts have been hanging at the Adult Center now for nearly a year! OMG! How did that happen?! That is way way too long! We’ll be scrambling to replace them with Red/White/Blue quilts for the rest of the summer! As a reminder to everyone…we hang TEN quilts year-round at the Adult Center…changing them every two months or so. If you’re ever driving down Rosser Street, stop in at the Adult Center (1280 Rosser)–and take in “the best little Quilt Show in town”!
