Kaufman Quilt Guild

Quilty Peeps,

Here we are blowing through the seventh month of the year. I can't believe school will start in just a few short weeks! The rabbits received a new mini split air conditioner recently, and they are finally happy. It's a lovely 64 degrees in their room. So, I am hoping for a successful fall show season.

I hope everyone enjoyed our speaker in July. I am not sure that I will be able to do a stack and whack. The stacking of fabric to cut all at once makes me super nervous. All of her quilts were pretty, and I enjoyed her presentation. In the process I forgot to cover officer positions. We spoke about it in the board meeting, and then I squirreled! I had requested two members to handle the nominating committee, and I was told at the board meeting that they were not successful in locating anyone to take a position. It's important to have someone in good standing and willing to step into the positions. So, Penny and I have agreed (if the guild will allow us another year) we will stay in our current positions. Rhonda and Dora have graciously agreed to flip positions. Ladies, I love our group, and I look forward to seeing each and every person at our meetings. And also, I love to see our San Antonio ladies at retreat. I desperately do not want us to fold, so we have a year to get you motivated to step up to the challenge of being a board member. Also, if anyone would like a break from their current committee position let me know. I will try to locate a replacement. If anyone has any new ideas for the coming year, speak up. Email, text, call me or catch me at a meeting. I am open to new ideas! I want you to be excited at the first of every month to come to the meeting.

To each of my precious friends battling your own wars at the moment, please know that I pray you find peace and comfort. I know this has been a rough year for many of our ladies. If you need a shoulder, driver or anything reach out. We are our own little family and we can help one another.

Also, if you have any pillowcases for Terrell State, please bring them to the August meeting. I know Bee Happy can use fun fabric for the dog collars. 

Happiness shared is happiness doubled.
