Our 30th Anniversary celebration is over. A lot of work and a lot of fun too. I heard many
positive comments about our show and I think it just reinforces what we already know: we have a wonderful guild and in working together we make a great team! Thank you all for making this year’s show a success.
Now we should start thinking about next year. Seriously, have you got a quilt or two in the works? You know, May will be here before you know it! Don’t slack off now. I find that summer is a great time to put tops together and winter is best for sitting under the basted layers and keeping warm while quilting. How about auction quilts? We had a wonderful response to this year’s auction. I just spoke with Pat and she is already working on a quilt for next year. What a great idea! Keep those creative juices flowing and keep stitching.

Congratulations to our very own Sherry Delano, winner of our beautiful 2007 opportunity quilt.
~~Fran Bianchi, Sunshine~~
Many, many thanks to all of you who worked so hard to get flyers and posters out at quilt shops and other businesses, schools and libraries. I couldn't possibly have done it by myself.
~~Kathy Judkins, Publicity Chairperson~~
Quilt Show Check In/Out, to every one who helped, you were all great!!!! Clyde Lockhart, a guild member’s husband, came in to assist and it was appreciated. Then came time to get the quilts back to the quilters, and again GREAT bunch of volunteers to fold the quilts and get them back to the rightful owners. Great job everyone.
