President’s Letter – February
Happy 2012 everyone!
I hope the New Year is treating you well and you are having a wonderful time planning and creating in your sewing rooms. As we discussed (and a reminder for you) at the January meeting, our annual quilt show has been moved up a week and is now the first week in July and will NOT be held in conjunction with Ankeny Summerfest. This is a change from previous years; so please be certain to mark your calendars.
Many thanks to those of you that entered the trivia contest last month; I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am. Look for this month’s trivia question…
Shelly Burge is teaching a class Saturday, February 11th and there are still openings for the class. If you are interested, please contact Janet, our wonderful program chair and she’ll see that you get all the information you need to join this fun class!
Our next Meeting is Tuesday, February 14th; don’t forget to bring your completed President’s challenge (Window to the West – original design with embellishment(s); no size limitations but please have your entry completed.) Please bring your entry to the meeting in a bag of some type so we can hang them and do a viewer’s choice vote. I can’t wait to see what you all have been creating!
The guild has received an email reminding us of the Kalona Quilt show and sale is scheduled for April 26th through April 29th; located in the Kalona Community Center, on the corner of 6th and D Avenue in Kalona, IA.
The board is traveling to Hen and Chicks Studio in Conrad for a mini retreat! It should be a fun time quilting, eating, and shopping. Hopefully, we will also have a couple laughs alone the way!
As always, thanks so much for all your support! Take care and see you at the February meeting, if not before!
