Quilters Day Out
Presidents Message
Hello Friends,
Happy Valentine Day to Everyone!
What a wonderful January meeting we had, it was a great meal thanks to the refresh-
ment committee. I always enjoy the social time. The quilts from the Mystery work-
shop were beautiful. It is always fun to see everyone’s quilt because they look so
different even though they are from the same pattern. Thank you so much Anne Au-
brey for calling our Quilto. It was a lot of fun!
Don’t forget our UFO days February 12-15. It would be a good time to work on pro-
jects that you want to complete, plus good fellowship.
The organization meeting for 2016 Quilt Show will be February 26th at the Extension
office project room at 6:30pm. It you are unable to come and would like to chair an
area or help please let me know.
Our next monthly meeting is February 24th; See you there!
Darlene
Sincerely,
Dayna Parrett
