In September 2014,14 members of the Rivers’ Edge Quilt Guild accepted the challenge of president Carol Johnson to complete a project by May 2015. Almost all completed the project to the delight of those attending the season’s windup banquet May 21.
After an excellent meal, catered by Sigstads Prairie Catering, the 30 members in attendance were presented with a show and tell par excellence. It was a visual display of colour, design and quilting techniques to inspire all. Participation prizes were distributed.
Special thanks should be accorded to the outgoing executive — president Carol Johnson, secretary Darlene Hiltz, treasurer Pat Downie and program organizer Irene Greer. These four ladies have seamlessly stitched the past two years together. A welcome goes to June Newsham, Irene Sack, Judi Lloyd and Heather Hochbaum who will constitute the executive for the 2015-16 quilt year.
Some quilt members are contemplating a quilt break for the summer, filling their time with gardening, fishing, cabin life and travel while others will intend to visit the Don Ross Craft Room during June, July and August. Yes, we are to be found there Mondays, Thursday and Fridays of most weeks. If you are an interested beginner or experienced quilter we invite you to drop by and visit with those people there, or attend the first business meeting of the year Sept. 4 at 1 p.m. in the craft room. Business meetings are held on the first Friday of most months. For further information please contact June Newsham at 306-445-3337 or Irene Sack at 306-937-3318.
However you intend to spend the summer months may it be a safe, satisfying and enjoyable time.
