It is the start of a creative New Year! On social media, quilters around the world have
been making plans for a very busy year.
How about you?
With the view to assist with your
creative plans, we have Gail Heller of Erie Quilt Art doing a presentation and
demo on some technical tricks and tips.
Gail is a certified Studio 180 instructor and has a wealth of knowledge
to share with us at our meeting.
In follow up to our last meeting, we
will have the election for our open positions at our February
meeting. The following positions are
open:
• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• Social Media
• Charity
• Volunteer/Quilt show
A Social Media position has been
added, as it would be great to increase sharing of everyone’s fabulous work in
2017.
Philippa Gelinas will be continuing
on as our Block Lotto/Swap coordinator and will have assistance from Tamara Kerelchuk.
Consider nominating a fellow member
or yourself for one of these positions.
Send your nominations to susan.m.madu@gmail.com.
Nominations will also be accepted at the start of our February meeting.
As a friendly reminder, if you
haven’t paid your dues for 2017 they are now due. Our dues cycle is January-December and they
are $50 per person. Members who join after June will pay $30. First
meeting is free for visitors, then $5 per meeting. Local membership is

page book. Write a good one."
