MUSINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
Spring has sprung and I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy the beauty of our area exploding into color and new growth. Inspiration for quilts is everywhere. I love this time of year (except for all the weeds!).
I read a great blog post by Lisa at Spoonful of Sugar and want to share her twelve life lessons from sewing and quilting:
Persistence- it keeps us working hard
Patience- as we enjoy the journeyOrganization- we plan, sort fabric, cut, and sew
Finding Joy- in our community of quilters and in simple things
Learning New Things- from each other, classes, patterns
Problem Solving- that strengthens our minds
Self-Expression- everything we make has our mark on it
Generosity- as we share our love in homemade quilts and gifts
Sustainable- we often use our scraps or reuse material
Community- quilting is a social hobby whether through guilds, on-line, challenges, swaps or making charity quilts.
She expanded on all these ideas, and I enjoyed her reflection on how much quilting enriches our lives.
Our Guild embraces all these lessons by giving us a place to be a community! We have excellent speakersand classes, small groups, retreats, charity quilts, showand tell, the free table, our quilt show and quilt campand most of all Friendship. I hope everyone finds a way to enjoy our Guild as it sure has enriched my life. You ladies bring happiness!!
Until next time,
