Piecing it together
November 2015
PRESIDENT’S PEN BY LAPAULA ALBERTO
I am sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather while writing this note. What a
difference from the awful weather we had this past weekend during festival. I hope
everyone stayed safe and dry and was able to get to and from the quilt festival without any
problems.
This was the first year that I only attended the festival one day and there is just too much
to see for one day. It did reduce my shopping which is a good thing! Fortunately, Laura
Bearden, owner of The Quilt Room, will be showing us all her new finds at Quilt Market
at our meeting this month and she will be selling them also, so we get do more shopping!
Don't forget to bring your "festival finds" to show us at this month's meeting or, if it is too
big, you can just tell us about them. Until then, I hope everyone left the festival inspired
and motivated to get into your sewing room and work on a new project or finish one
Happy Quilting,
La Paula
