Join the fun! Where: Senior Recreation Center, 5701 NW 34 Street Social Time: 9:30 – 10 am Meeting: 10 - Noon Program: Radha Selvester, President, Days for Girls International, Alachua County Chapter After the Guild: 12:30 or 1 pm until 3:30: Sit and Sew. Bring your machine or needle and thread and finish projects you started at Day Camp. And remember to bring your lunch. Cincinnati hosts a huge quilt guild of more than 350 members, which I was part of. One of the ladies let me learn/play on her Gammill long arm machine, and we know where that led to (for me). Moving here in 2014 led me to the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild and many wonderful people talented in quilting and related arts. I feel supported by the quilters of this group to "pay it forward" in encouraging others to achieve their aspirations anyway I can. Let's remember why we joined: to connect to others of the same mind (and to have fun, too). And the programs aren't bad, either :) Theresa Morales Madame President March 2019 From Our President Next Guild Meeting: Thursday, March 7, 2019
