PRESIDENT’S CORNER
I have enjoyed being the President of the Quilt Guild for the last two years. The years are flying by and I have so many more quilts to make! The word bored is not in my vocabulary-there are so many crafts I love to do and I’m afraid I’ll have to leave some of them undone some day-not soon I hope.
I’m getting excited about our annual trip to Houston. I’m glad we live close enough to attend. Looking forward to getting lots done between now and then. See you in November if not before.
Deborah Cypert
NOVEMBER PROGRAM
I don’t have a clever name for the November program, but we will talk about tips and tricks that might be helpful in our quilting journey. The last few months I have been reading several quilting blogs and watching YouTube and have learned a few tips that may be helpful for everyone. I hope to see you at the meeting November 7.
