LET'S GET STARTED
President's January Greeting
Happy New Year Quilters...Now that the tree is down, the packages are all unwrapped and the living room is put back in order, it is time to think about those New Year's Resolutions. I hope the one that is on the top of your list is "to become active in your guild and enjoy all that it has to offer". Think about signing up for a committee, attend a retreat or work the quilt show. These are ways to get to know the members of your guild and makes our guild grow.
Congratulations to Mary Mahoney as our "Quilter of the Year". Thank you, Mary, for all that you do for the guild.
As we start this new year, I invite you to join me in taking a step "out of the box" and explore some new challenges with colors, methods and techniques. My theme for 2018 is "Let's Get Started".

Tree City Quilters' Guild Paradise in Bloom Quilt Show reminders:
Our show will be here before you know it. The dates of the show are Friday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, April 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Here are a couple reminders:
Sell those raffle tickets! If you need more, contact Jeri Fickes, 330-201-0932.
There are two challenges. The first is an applique challenge--a floral applique item of your choice, hand or machine. The second is Garden Party, a floral themed item. The pattern and/or fabric should have a floral design.
At January's guild meeting the committee will be prepared to hand out category information. We are asking this year that the quilt story forms that will be displayed on the quilts, be turned in typed and ready to hang with the quilts. In the near future we will be e-mailing a template for your use. If you do not have access to a computer and printer, we will have an alternative plan for you.
Keep those needles in motion! We are anticipating another great show!
