President's Message October 2016

10/18/2016

 
Picture
The chill of fall is in the air as we have launched another great year at the guild.   Maybe this weekend I will get a chance to get some little project done for Halloween!   I have a nice collection of fabric and every year the day just sneaks up on me and I don't get the projects done.    At the very least, I need a new fall table runner!   Or maybe a pumpkin wall hanging.  Anyone say "squirrel"!

I completely forgot to talk about the president's challenge for the year.  It is to make something red and white for our Canada 150 themed quilt show.  Those who won door prizes at the June meeting have a head start as they were mostly Canada themed fabrics.   If your fabric is beige and red, that's ok too, a lot of the fabric companies used beige instead of white.

I would like to encourage everyone to participate in the guild. There are challenges to complete, block of the month, our sew days and charity projects just to mention a few things.   We also are still looking for volunteers to sell tickets... Penny and I have offered to sell tickets if people want to switch with us on the executive!  :)    Keep in mind that if you do put your name down to participate in an activity, we plan for that many people.  As an example, the venue for our first sew day had prepared food for us and not many who signed up were there.   

One final comment on people's generosity and how we come together and make things happen.  Thank you all who are making stockings, placemats and preemies.  Our goal for stockings is a real stretch this year, if everyone pitches in, I think we can make it.   Thanks to everyone who made blocks for the Canada 150 quilt.   I will give an update at the October meeting as to what is left to do on that one and where people can help. 

Now I am off to finish something for show and tell. 

Happy quilting!

Brigid Whitnall
​President
