President's Message.
|
As the summer of 2019 comes to an end, I’d like to welcome you all back to our Guild. I hope everyone enjoyed the warmth of our Ontario summer and found a little time to quilt! We are so fortunate to be living in this part of the world and have so much to be thankful for.
I am really looking forward to this 2019/2020 guild year! We have a full slate of executive members and great ideas to celebrate and feed our quilting passions. We hope to conduct a survey to learn more about what you’d like to see happen in YOUR guild. Give us your ideas, even before we get a survey out there! Block of the Month is great fun. Pick a pattern pack, make the block before the next meeting and you have a chance to win them all, usually enough to make a quilt! In June you received instructions on how to make a different block each month for a Mystery Quilt, which is a study in colour. If you’d like to participate, I’m sure you can get caught up with the one block that was to be completed over the summer. During the year we’ll have Sew Day Workshops, our monthly 50/50 Draws, books and rulers to sign out from our Library, some interesting presenters on the Programme schedule and, hopefully some bus trips! I’ve done a great deal of thinking (and fretting) about the President’s Challenge. What might constitute a good one? I wanted it to be something that encourages everyone to quilt and adds a little fun at year end. Details of this year’s challenge are on page 3. It’s simple, fun and I hope it will encourage you to quilt! Whether a new member or one who has been around for “years”, I hope you meet some like-minded quilters over the next year and form lasting friendships.
