President's Message

September  2017

Welcome to the commencement of the quilting year September 2017-June 2018.  Summer came, we watched questionable Tiger Cats, hopeful Blue Jays and some Canadian dominated tennis.  In the bridge world, the American Contract Bridge League hosted a Toronto Tournament with 5300 players at 13,300 tables of bridge over an 11 day period.  Mother nature devastated Houston but the quilt shows still flourished.  Even a few family gatherings were fit into the equation. In spite of all the distractions, your executive has planned an exciting year starting with a local Canadian Designer, Maggie Vanderweit of STONE THREADS, to get us inspired and start the machines humming once more.  The year is completely planned; UFO days filled with classes and mini projects, and cuddle quilt kits ready for stitching. All this for just $4.00 per month. That’s cheaper than my last visit to a fast food outlet.

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!

WELCOME RETURNING MEMBERS!

This is your guild!   The executive looks forwards to seeing all of you at the September meeting.

Jackie Syer, President 2017-2018
