Hi Everyone:

Well, as many of you know yesterday was the AGM of the CQQ. It was a great day for it, rainy, windy and cool - great to be indoors brainstorming about various quilt, etc. ideas!! Lachute did a wonderful job, coffee and tea hot and the sweets, delicious and plentiful. Also four vendors - and everyone had plenty of time and plenty of choices to spend their money. Seems most of the positions on the Executive were filled, although it was a tough sell. Good for Sharon for putting up her hand - it sure was appreciated, not only by the Executive, but by the members at large.



Above is a picture of Sharon and fellow members of Loose Threads showing off their works of art. The class was given by Debbie Kimball, appliquer extraordinaire, and juding by the quilts, an excellent teacher. The pattern, the seven species, very important in Judaism, features wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates and olives. It was made by Debbie especially for this group.

Bravo ladies, they look beautiful!
