MUSINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT 

WOW, I am actually seeing the sun! Everything seems better to me when the sun shines after a long string of gray and rainy days.

After listening to Karla Alexander talk at our last Guild meeting, one thing really resonated with me. It’s that quilting should be our “Happy Place”. When a project you are working on creates more stress than joy, may- be it is time to put it away and find something more soothing to work on. It seems that everything in our world is getting more complicated and difficult. More than ever, we need an outlet where we can let down our hair, relax, enjoy something we love, and visit with people about something besides politics, the economy, etc.

Many quilters take their quilting very seriously, which is fine if that works for you. As for me, I just want to learn new things, play with fabric, turn off the rest of the world for a while and have some fun. Coming to a Guild meeting (even while being the president), at- tending a workshop, selling raffle tickets at a quilt show or fair, etc. is such a nice “break” in my everyday life. Soon enough the real world sucks us back in, but let’s all make the best of a “break” when we can get one.

Our Guild has grown so much since Covid, which is a great thing, but sometimes in a large group newcomers get overlooked. Perhaps we all can make a habit of saying “Hello” to someone we’ve never met. You never know when you will meet a new, good friend. I know I’ve met several over the last few years and hope to meet more.

See you at our next “Break” when we turn off the out-side world for a little while!!
