Let’s talk about the Opportunity Quilt. It’s finally done! Footloose put together the final pieces, and Maria Ciccarelli did the quilting. Jeri Carney attached the binding. I want to thank all the members who took the time to sew a seam or many seams on this quilt. A guild is only as strong as the members who come together in creativity and fellowship.

We’re all set to start selling raffle tickets to raise money for our guild’s good works. Each member needs to sell at least one book of tickets. Please think about picking up more so your family and friends can win the quilt you worked on.

My love and gratitude for this guild know no bounds. I’ve been given so many gifts as a member of Sierra Mountain Quilters Association. The gift of quilting, knowledge, creativity, confidence, friendship, community, support, asking for help, “I don’t know”, humility, gratitude, acceptance, not having to be perfect and so much more. Thank you all for allowing me to give back in my small way.

To wrap things up, here’s a little inspiration: “Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.” - Johannes Brahms

Thank you all.
Cheers!
Wendy
