March President' Corner

Greetings,

I feel like it has been ages since I saw you all. My knee surgery went well, but rehab was much harder and longer. Five years since the first knee made a huge difference. But I am glad to be back on my feet.
I am very excited about our new Raffle Quilt “ Aloha Jane”. It is so beautiful!! Susan Crowder Cyr certainly gave us beautiful blocks which made a fabulous quilt. I bought the first ticket last night.
We have a wonderful spot at the Mancuso Show to show the quilt, and we plan to sell many tickets. Come by and form a crowd, so we can encourage others to buy tickets. Pat Carney reminded me people want to see what a crowd is looking at. Great sales tool.
I have my list for the show, Red and Green Reproduction fabric and one of those cute ironing boards that attach to a table. I hope your list is ready.
Spring Fling will be here before we know it. The classes are filling and we are set for a fun day.
I plan on being at the Quilt show Thursday and Saturday. Come join us upstairs for lunch. I love seeing what you all have bought.
Hoping for good weather. See you in Hampton.
