PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

I had the opportunity to visit four different quilt

guilds in the past month: North Wind Quilters

Guild, Fairfield; Petaluma Quilt Guild, Petaluma;

Moonlight Quilters of Sonoma County, Santa

Rosa; and Flying Needles Quilt Guild, Woodland.

The feeling is the same in every one of these

places. They all have a love for quilting and the

desire to share what they do and know. The

meetings were comfortable and familiar. I sincerely

hope that everyone who visits or participates in our

guild is given the same warm welcome that I

experienced on my visits. They were also very

generous when buying tickets for our opportunity

quilt. Marla Vaughn 990-3115

V-President: The Program for May will feature a

trunk show, that is a collaboration of two long-time

quilters in our guild. Terry Catt will lead off with a

selection of her projects from over the years,

followed by Claudia Goebl (featured quilter at our

next quilt show). Claudia will be sharing with us

some of her earlier works, and just enough variety,

to whet our appetites for the quilt show. I am sure

this will be great fun for all of us. See you then.

Dorothy Weldon 533-2826

Workshop: May 5 and 6 Open Sew Workshop:

Held in the regular building, Please bring a potluck
