February guild meeting


Friendship is like a bank account...You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits!
This guild has 'Heart'! And keeps our Deposits full at all times! Love all of you ladies. 

We had a great intro for our guild in
January. Lots of cute things coming this year along with
some awesome technics, etc.
One thing we OTT to do is make sure our
machine is up to it's best running and cleaned up well.
What a great idea with the Tea Cup exchange! I got so
excited I came right home and did both sizes that
evening!!
We are finding all sorts of projects to do with Charms and
5 X 5" fabrics. If you come across an idea we would love
to have you share. We are all together on this!!
And always remember: keep in mind any copyright
boundaries when we're sharing.
What a great group we have! It's always been the kind of
group that pulls together to make things happen. I always
hear people compliment you ladies in this group as being
so friendly and always stepping up when asked to do
anything!
Hey, let’s get going into the best kind of year ever!
Bring your 'Heart' to guild and don't forget to show n tell
what is happening in the season. We would LOVE to see
your Valentine and heart quilts!
Have a great Valentine's Day!! Sue Tubbs

And food for thought!
"When buying from an artist/maker, you're buying more than just an object/painting, you are buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation.
You are buying days, weeks and months of
frustration and moments of pure joy!
You aren't just buying a thing, you're buying a
piece of heart, part of a soul, a moment of someone's life.
Most importantly, you are buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about"
