Happy New Year 2012!!

     Happy New Year!! It is starting out as a great one for me and I am so thankful.
     Yesterday was my first day as president of our local quilt guild and I had so much fun. We played a game, had a raffle and discussed our Quilt Show in May.  We have a quilt show every even year.  I can't wait. They are a lot of work, but so rewarding and so much fun to see all the beautiful quilts.
     It is shaping up to be a busy year and I have lots planned. I will teach a class this coming Tuesday and each second Tuesday of the month. I already have the quilt made I will teach and that is a big help.
     I need to get another quilt top made before next month's class, thankfully it is cut out and I need to get four quilt tops ready to FMQ.  No sweat, eh? Har, har.
     Hope you are having just as much fun as I am. Good luck with all your WIPs and UFOs!
     Blessings, Deborah

Guess Who?!!

     Guess who is the new president for our guild?  If you said Deborah, (me!) then you would be right!! I'm very excited to be serving for the next two years, beginning in January 2012.
     If any of you have any good program ideas I would love to hear them. 
     Okay. I can't believe I said yes. When I told my SIL, I rendered her speechless.  I'm kind of a shy person, but when I feel comfortable I do okay.
     Wish me luck and don't forget to comment with your ideas.
     Thank you!
     Blessings, Deborah

Tuesday Girls

     I'd like you to meet some of the girls I hang with on Tuesdays. Of course, we are never all there on any given Tuesday, so it is catch is while catch can.  I will try to remember my camera the next time I go and maybe I can catch the rest. We all belong to the local guild that meets the first Thursday of the month, but Tuesdays are available if you want to bring your machine and sew or do some hand sewing. Heck, we've even been known to knit, crochet or do our mending.  We just like hanging together, so we call ourselves the Tuesday Girls.

                                                                            Linda

                                                               Maxine & Glady


     These are the nicest ladies a quilter could ever hang out with.  Just think, there are even more of them! :o)  Some of the ladies are working on soldier quilts and some are getting ready for Christmas events. Glady is the lady who does the handsewing on our soldiers quilts. We sew the bindings on the quilt and Glady does the handsewing to tack them down. Saves so much time!
    
     We have grandchildren coming to visit this weekend, with their parents of course. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!
     Blessings all over you!!  Deborah
     P.S. When I previewed my post, the lettering under the pictures was all wonky! I don't know why it does that! Sorry. I hope it straightens itself out. :o(
