April 2008, President's Message
The year is going by quickly. It seems like only yesterday I was telling you all about the exciting speakers and workshops we were going to have. Now there are only six meetings left in my term. I am very pleased that Mark Lipinski was able to reschedule his lecture for May 4th. Be sure to bring your notepad to take notes about all his great tips and tricks. Our meeting on Monday, April 21st, will be making name tags that match this year’s raffle quilt. Thanks to Ellen Oliver for working out matching nametags.
The quilt show committee is doing a wonderful job, but they won’t be able to do everything. So please take some time at the next meeting to review all the different areas that you could help out with. It may take a single quilter to make a quilt, but it takes a whole group to make a quilt show!
And in case you missed the news we will also have a brand new Viking sewing machine to raffle off at our guild show thanks to Sew ‘n Place in Chambersburg for their generous donation.
Don’t forget to keep selling your raffle tickets for the beautiful “Heart in Motion” quilt and other quilted pieces. The more tickets you sell the better chance you’ll have at being the winner of the corresponding wallhanging.
Keep Quilting!
Best Wishes,
Deb Lohman
