Invite from the Welcome Committee Chair, Ann Gaber
Anyone who has joined the guild in the last year or so or even longer ago is invited to my home for an informal gathering to ask questions and share
interests in order to better understand what the various elements of Quilters Unlimited are.
Ann says that she “found it difficult to make sense of all the names of members, sit and stitch groups, challenges, shows, and projects.” If you feel the same way, or even if you just want to get better acquainted, please come!
We will meet at my home on Thursday, February 20 from 5:30 until 7:00. I will serve beverages and light snacks. You may contribute a snack, if you wish, of course.
If you have a project in progress or completed to show, it is a great opportunity to ask questions and share methods or thoughts on them.
RSVP, if possible, but last-minute decisions are ok too.
