Happy New Year! I hope you all had relaxing, peaceful holidays and finished all the creations you wanted for your family and friends. Are you planning 2026 yet? I was surprised how thrilled my grandchildren were to receive the gifts that I made for them. Numerous Cuddle scarves, three Sallie Tomato purses with 4 zippers each, a trapper keeper, and embroidered gifts cost me a trip to the sewing machine spa before Christmas. They were not busy since everyone was sewing, so I got my machine back quickly!
Thank you to Brandy Banks, Allyn Baker, and the hospitality committee for the lovely holiday party. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to socialize, admire the quilts and be together. It was a warm and cozy morning.
Check out all the committee information in the newsletter and find your place to volunteer. This is a great way to meet others and make friends with other quilters. Opportunities are available for all different time commitments and physical abilities required. Find one that fits you.
Make it a goal to attend a bee this year. Currently, we sponsor a bee for charity sewing and one for anything you would like to work on. We hope to add additional bees this year as space permits. You can always host a couple of members in your home on your own and enjoy each other’s company.
We are kicking off new charity quilting this year, looking forward to hearing about the work of the different charities as we go through the year.
