L is for Learning. We learn from the guest speakers and from each other as we all strive to expand our knowledge and experience with quilting.

R is for Resources. We have a library of books and a room full of quilters to offer advice and sources of shops, tips and tricks.
T is for Teamwork. A group of individuals dedicated to the promotion of making, collecting and preserving quilts; to support and encourage the art of quilt making.
As I finish my term as President of the guild I look back and marvel at all the wonderful things we did in the past year: A successful guilt show, a beautiful raffle quilt to raise money for support of breast cancer survivors; another equally stunning Crazy Quilt raffle; comfort quilts for the wounded soldiers, adopted children, Hospice patients, women with difficult pregnancies, adults receiving cancer treatment and Alzheimer patients; workshops and guest speakers; the Chinese Auction; Block-of-the-Month; Pizza Box exchange; quilt retreats; theme baskets; shop drawings and lots of show ‘n tell!
I want to thank each of you for your support and assistance and I wish for everyone to remember to be an inspiration and to be inspired!
Best Wishes,
Deb Lohman
