Narragansett Bay Quilters Association

Presidents Message:

Hello ladies:

Happy New Year! My hope for all our members will be a healthy and happy new year with many good surprises in store for you.

Now, let’s get down to business! We have a quilt show coming up. Please make sure to either use the link in this newsletter to register your quilt(s) or take a nice ride to Island Creations and drop off the hard copy of your entry. Whatever works for you works for us. Also, remember to sign up to help out (either sign up at Island Creations or email Joan Potter- joanpotter1@cox.net. “Many hands make light work,” and since we are paying for an extra day to set up, it should all go smoothly.

We had a great Board meeting last night, although I must say I was not without brain fog. I had a medical procedure that morning, and the anesthesia was strong, but the ladies on the Board were wonderful, and I am very grateful to collaborate with them. We discussed several topics and will share them with you during the Zoom meeting on the 15th.

Programs – there are still openings for the Zoom workshop on the 17th. Please review the class description below in the newsletter. This sounds like so much fun! We can play! With our scraps!

As we move forward, please consider who you want to lead NBQA for the next year. My four-year term (by the bylaws) ends at the end of May, so my position will be vacant, along with the Vice President and the Secretary, and we will need someone to help with membership. Robin Gardner has volunteered to chair the nomination committee, but she is rather new to us, so if someone in the guild who is rather “seasoned” would like to help her out, please contact Robin at robin@rgardner.com.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Zoom on January 15th. The link will be sent out over the weekend.

We will have Jane Lionelli from our sister guild – Ninigret – selling tickets for their raffle quilt. Jane will be located in Fellowship Hall.
