Hello quilting sisters,
January is just around the corner and another quilting year will be starting. Upon looking at my work calendar with Bigge's Country Kitchen, I discovered I will be out of town on a catering job for our first meeting. I wish things could be changed, but I know my VP will do a good job in my place. We have all had several emails from Tess who has some great ideas for programs each month. One of the things is the round robin. I know I enjoyed it last year. One thing is that I would want all of us that participate to draw for a group and not prechoose your group. We all know each other somewhat, but the surprise is seeing how others choose to make the border and having it fit with your block.
Did everyone finish their projects before Christmas? I know I am one that did not. I tried but there were not enough hours in the day and I need my sleep to be able to function. If I was not working for Bigge's I was cooking for the hunters in our lodge. I am ready for hunting season to end.
I have talked my sister in laws, my sister and one fo her friends plus my daughter in law and grand daughter to do our own round robin. They are very new to quilting but are willing to give it a try. Should be fun.
I hope at the January meeting the committees get filled up with volunteers. I will check it out when I get back from the catering job and see if I need to ask for volunteers. I would prefer that the quilt show be postponed a year, but will go along with the majority vote. If not postponed I ask that the weekend not be September 15th as I have a family commitment that weekend and I very much want to be a part of the show. I will see you in February unless the catering job gets cancelled.
Yours in quilting Betty
