OHIO STAR QUILT GUILD # 13
JANUARY 2008
 

 HAPPY NEW YEAR  HAPPY NEW YEAR  HAPPY NEW YEAR  HAPPY NEW YEAR

 What a great way to start the New Year..One whole day puzzling about that new mystery quilt as we gathered at the Port Clinton Library. The doors opened at 9:30, machines were set up, and then the fun began. Oh my stars and garters!!!  Thanks to Sue, Carol, and Barb, it was a day of learning several new shortcuts in making a block. And one of great fellowship. Thank you for making it a great day.

This wonderful beginning for 2008 followed a great Christmas party that concluded 2007. And  with new officers slated for the next year, I promise you that it will be bigger and better.

Just a reminder..dues can be paid to Sandy Erwin beginning in Jan. They must be paid by March or your personal information will not be included in the guild booklet.

Also, slips will be passed around confirming your personal information for the new book.

An information sheet for committees and their responsibilities will be available. This should make your choice for service easier. Sign-up sheets for your choice(s) will be available. If you do not choose, then assignments will be made. Everyone needs to participate.  Participation has many benefits!

We have a quilter from Oregon coming  April 11^th for a lecture and class. Housing is needed for the 10^th and the 11^th. She asks there be no dogs, and food must be lactose free.  Call Sue if you are willing.

Congratulations to Penny upon her marriage to Chester Solem. That’s why she missed the Christmas party!  She has asked to be relieved of her responsibility as web-coordinator. Is there someone willing to fill her shoes? Contact Penny if you need more information regarding this responsibility.

            I am sorry to pass the news that Carol Swope’s mother passed away in Florida last week. Many of you knew her as she lived in Port Clinton for a time.
