A Note from Donna

Members,

Happy Spring! Hope this lovely weather and all the beautiful blooms haveinspired you to new and creative things.

Thank you to all the members that have taken on jobs to make the experi-

ence of membership for everyone even better. Members are coming out and

enjoying the friendship of working on charity quilts the last Tuesday of themonth. I am loving our "Block of the Month Bonanza"; Faith has found inter-

esting, challenging blocks for us to try. I am looking forward to seeing them

made in to quilts and other projects at Christmas. Our Hospitality time has

become a hit! Thank you to Sue Marlette for keeping it organized, getting to

meetings early and setting up. A great time to catch up with fellow quilters

before our meetings. Our Christmas party is already being planned! Don't for-

get to bring new or gently used items in for Donna Compton & Rachel Wessel

to use for our Chinese Auction. We want EVERYONE to be coming home

with a basket that night.

As we reach 50 members!! I am looking forward to expanding our activi-

ties. We want there to be something for every member to be excited

about. Please let me know if you have an idea or would like to inspire or par-

ticipate on a committee with the guild. The only bad idea is the one not

shared!!
