President’s Letter

Many thanks to Jill and her committee for the lovely annual dinner. They did a wonderful job. Food was great and what beautiful items resulted from the fabric challenge. With the dinner over, it is time to think of beginning a new quilt year. What would you like to see your guild do this year? This is your guild. Let me hear your ideas. Christmas /New years party…Maybe another fundraiser…something during Midnight sun… ? The Bazaar was this weekend. Let’s all thank Anne, and hope it was successful. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

What fun we had at the Annual Dinner on October 18th! Sixty-four members and guests dined on Miguel's delicious food, admired more than 20 Quarter Yard Challenge projects, shared friendship, and talked about all things fabric. The laughter was ongoing and loud, as it should be. Many hands helped in making this event possible. Thank you to the organizing committee members and advisers: Dotty Cooper, Lolly Carpluk, Karen Milne, Elaine Thompson-McGee, Nancy Junk, Kristen Brown, Sonja Zastrow, and Susan Culley. A huge thank you to the following for their generous donations of time and prizes : Blue Ribbon Sew-n-Vac, Alaska Raw Fur, Northern Threads, Material Girls, Nancy Junk, Karen Milne, Dotty Cooper, Carl Addington, Dambra Callahan, and two people who asked to remain anonymous. Kudos to those who all who accepted the Quarter Yard Challenge and brought projects to show! Your creativity was incredible and gave all of us new ideas and inspiration. Viewers' Choice voting was difficult because of all the great work! Of course, thank you to Miguel and his staff for a great dinner and venue, as well as fantastic service. I don't think anyone went away hungry... Any feedback you have regarding this event would be appreciated, as it will help next year's dinner be even better.
