Over the last few years the Washington area has lost several quilt shops, so it is up to us, as quilters, to support the quilt shops that remain. Several shops are participating in the events of the day with sales and special happenings. Think of the small business owner when considering a fabric or quilting purchase. 


Local Quilt Shop Day Details 

Happy 2013! It is my pleasure and honor to lead Uhuru into 2013. For many of us January is a time of reflection, evaluation and goal setting; well it is no exception for Uhuru. Your Executive Board, committee chairs, and faithful volunteers have met and planned an exciting 2013 for the Guild. I can't wait until our January meeting to share the exciting details.

I'll be honest, I've not yet completed my personal quilting goals for 2013, but I do know that more time quilting and with my quilting friends is at the top of my list. I've also thought of the areas where I've fallen short over the last year, and I realized that I have not done my part in community service. Several of our members are so very passionate and dedicated to the Guild's community service efforts and that passion has inspired me for 2013.

Again, Happy New Year Uhuru! And if you are a quilter in the suburban Washington area, looking for a "quilters home", please join us for our next meeting.

Ciao,
Cornelia
