President's Message                                                                                                                                            Katherine Hunter
As we end 2024 there is much to be grateful for – friends and family to share good times and bad, the many quilts and services we give to others, the joy of our furry companions and the hope for a good year going forward.
 
Well Done!  The $2400 from the Loonie Auction was split between the Burlington Foodbank and Compassion Society along with food and winter clothing donations.  Many thanks to everyone who donated items and helped package the beautiful gift baskets.  Special thanks to Sue Curran for being Loonie Central and to Ermy Akers for her coordinated fabric donations to each of the over 30 baskets.
 
We have an exciting year ahead.  The quilt show at the end of May is a prime opportunity to share our quilts with the community and plans are ramping up!  Kudos to the crew who put together the 1000+ favours to be gifted to each quilt show attendee.  Check out the show information in the newsletter and plan to get your registration in on time!  
 
The Quilt Along wraps up this month and you will have made 20 Potato Chip blocks in rainbow colours.  Now for the challenge of assembling the flimsy.  There have been some interesting variations on the block and I am excited to see how your quilts come together.  Please bring your flimsy or completed quilt to the June meeting for a special “Show'n'Share”.
 
This month you have a chance to pick up the fabric packet for the Quilt Show Member Challenge.  Northcott donated three beautiful fabrics for this challenge and I look forward to seeing your creations at the quilt show at the end of May.  More information is contained in the newsletter.
 
Please read through the newsletter carefully to catch all the activities planned for the next few months – Quilt Show Challenge, President's Challenge, BOM, Sew Days, and Workshops.  There will be a Comfort Quilt Sew Day in February.  Please keep a lookout for an email with details.
 
Happy  New Year!
