Keep working on your Quilts of Valor - we have just around 2 months to get prepared. Talk to Rhonda and Tonya if you have questions.
Quilty Peeps,
Here we are rocking 2026 together. I'm over the moon that we have a retreat together this month. I love spending time with each and every one of you. So far this month Debbie and I spent a few days in Ft. Worth at the stock show. My Lilac rabbits had a great weekend bringing home Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex of Breed. Debbie also received Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex of Breed for her Lionheads. My Lionheads did well also, but Debbie was rocking it! Debbie and I are now getting prepared for Lionhead Nationals in Ohio which will be in April. Pray for cool weather because I want to stop at Paducah on the way home to see Tula Pink's exhibit at the Quilt Museum. The rabbits will have to stay in the truck, so I really need it to be cool.
Our raffle quilt is ready to travel. I'm still not having the best luck getting in touch with the guilds. If you know someone in another guild, reach out to them for a contact person. This is the only fundraiser, and I really want it to be successful. We sent out packets at the last meeting for the 2027 quilt. We are hoping to get it ready this summer so that we can immediately start the 2027 raffle in August. Amy is working hard filling up our program calendar. I'm so happy to have her working on getting new faces for us to meet.
Do you want to be on the board for next year? Board positions will be open at the end of summer. If you would like to toss your hat in the ring, let me know.
May your stitches be tight and your seams straight!
Love, Hope
