Members, Our year is starting to wind down!! Can you believe it's August? Hope you are all enjoy-ing your summer and have started on your Christmas gifts! Since we will be naming the Newsletter this evening, I want to take the opportunity to thank Kathy Solomon for doing such an amazing job putting it together each month. It has become a great source of information for our members. Please remember to contact her with information to include. If there is an event you want to share with members, a recipe, a project,or if a fellow member is in need of our support, you can send Kathy an email and she will include it in the newsletter.
Keep Quilting!
