President's Message Katherine Hunter
We’ve certainly been thrown into winter – lots of snow and COLD! Bill bought a snowblower in October thinking it would ensure little snow but we’ve been glad of it these last few weeks. It is turning out to be a good season for all those who enjoy winter sports and those who like a hot cup of cocoa and a good book while watching the snow come down … even better if you have a fireplace!
What an exciting night we have planned for this month's meeting! Demo nights are always popular. We glean so much from our fellow members and it is nice to see so much talent in our guild. Who doesn't want to learn new tips, tricks, and techniques that will streamline our quilting journey and bring new challenges?
We’ve had the first session of the workshop for the “Beads” quilt by Jordan Fabrics. What an interesting array of fabrics participants chose. The second session is slated for February 19th. If you missed the first session and still want to make this quilt, please sign up at the workshop table. If you signed up but have completed the quilt, join us anyway and bring other projects to work on.
The Chinese New Year, which is the Year of the Horse, will run from February 17th to March 3rd. The festival itself is 16 days long, ending with the Lantern Festival on the date of the next full moon. “Kuàilè” - Happy New Year - to those who are celebrating.
There is lots of news to share this month. Be sure to read the newsletter cover to cover, shop at some of our advertisers, come to demo night (lots of free goodies!!), and spend some time in your sewing space.
