President's Message

.
A big Happy New Year to everyone and a warm welcome to 2019!  The holidays are over, winter is settling in and, if you're like me, we're all hoping for a calm few winter months indoors and anticipating some quality quilting time!  There's nothing better than being cozy in the house with your favourite hot beverage and doing what you love.
 
There's lots to look forward to this year, starting with the February meeting, which is the Outreach Sewing Day with some new twists! 

The evening meeting will include a speaker and the "Iron Quilters Challenge"!  Come on out and enjoy the fun - and what better way to start the day than to spend the afternoon sewing with friends as we help our Outreach team bring more comfort to the community.  
 
This year, whether you decide to take part in the Block of the Month, a Workshop, the UFO Challenge, an Outreach Project, borrow a book or magazine from the Library or just listen to our interesting speakers, have a wonderful experience and make a new friend or two! 

Jean Decaire - President,
Halton Quilters Guild
