President's Message February 2017

Hello everyone,
 
I am watching the snow blow around as I write this.  Isn't February just a great month to quilt!   Our quilt show is only a few months away ... yikes ... better get some items ready!   That also means that spring is only a little while off.
 
For those who may have started to see the Canada 150 passports around Arnprior, please note that the only part of the quilt show which is free is entrance to the tea room and special Canada 150 travelling exhibit.   Admission to the show is still $6.00 and includes the market mall.
 
Did you get some great ideas from our demo night last month?  I know that I walked away with a couple of tips that I will implement.   Now if I can get someone to volunteer to come fold my fabric neatly .... haha I have a better chance of getting the new executive in place by March!!   I have actually started and have two shelves out of 12 done!  This might take a while. 
 
I am really looking forward to our February meeting when we will assemble some tops for the CQA big quilt bee.  We have enough quilt blocks for 8 quilts now and may have enough for 10 by the end of the month.   Don't forget to bring in your finished blocks.
 
Happy Quilting,

Brigid Whitnall
President
