May General Meeting

We will be meeting at the Hennessy School, in Grass Valley. The meeting will be on Tuesday, May 1, at 6:30 pm (map)

President's Message

Is everyone ready for the Pine Tree Quilt Guild's, Springtime in the Pines Quilt Show?

It is the big talk of the Guild, and I suspect that the May 1st General Meeting will be an exciting one. Lots of last minute preparations happen at this time, but we have a wonderful group putting on our Quilt Show this year, and I am confident they will get the job done, put on a beautiful show, AND have a good time doing it! Thanks to each of you for all your hard work!

As you know, all aspects of the making and marketing of the Guild's Opportunity Quilt have been moved from being the responsibility of the Quilt Show, to being the responsibility of the Guild. Right away we received the "Sew Happy" mini group's enthusiastic "We'll do it, we'll do it!". They chose to make and market the 2014 Opportunity Quilt. But, we still needed a 2013 Opportunity Quilt I will tell you that we have some wonderful ladies in our midst, and the 2013 Opportunity Quilt top has been made and it is BEAUTIFUL! The wonderful ladies who stepped up when we were in dire need, are Opportunity Quilt Chairperson Ardy Tobin, and Committee Members Frances O'Brien, Lois Hodges, Carol Phillips, and Paulette Snyders. They would now like to proudly pass this beautiful quilt on to a person and/or group, for the marketing portion of its journey. If you are interested in marketing the 2013 Opportunity Quilt, please give either Ardy Tobin or myself a call, an email, or see us at the next Guild Meeting. Ladies and Gentlemen, we really need to move on this "opportunity", as the selling of tickets enables our Guild to continue in the manner in which we are all accustomed.

Have you taken a Speaker Workshop recently? They are such a great opportunity to try something new and to spend the day with quilting friends. I took Thom Atkins's workshop, and it was really interesting, challenging (where is that little hole?!), and a lot of fun. I would like to encourage you to sign up for a future workshop that interests you, and enjoy the day learning something new.
