President’s Message

  

 

January 2022

2022 may be a very interesting year. As the government’s restrictions have been reinstated, many of us are becoming weary but a recovery to normal life may be in the near future. Hopefully as our immunizations have an impact and we reach a ‘herd immunity’, we can return to in person meetings in the spring. Until then, we will continue sharing our love of quilting with our fellow members using the virtual meeting format.

I thought the words in a New Year’s video I was watching last week were appropriate for quilters. “The year ahead is empty, help me fill it with good things, each day filled with joy and the happiness it brings”. Sewing a quilt definitely brings joy to us quilters and then the finished product brings happiness to the recipients. Not to mention that quilting can definitely fill the hours very quickly, keeping us inside our homes and warm during these cold winter months.

Hoping that you and your family are staying healthy during these challenging times and that you can join our virtual meeting next Wednesday.

Janice Haluszka,

President
