Happy New Year to everyone at the Gwinnett Quilters’ Guild!
Can you believe our January weather is hovering near 70 degrees? What a blessing! I hope 2026
is shaping up to be one of your very best years yet.
For those who enjoy making New Year’s resolutions, I’d love to hear your quilting goals. Mine
remains the same: no more UFOs! I’ll let you know how I’m doing along the way, and I
hope you’ll do the same—let’s hold each other accountable.
My sincere thanks go out to our Board for such a strong start to the year. As we wrap up a few
loose ends from December, we’re also keeping our eyes firmly fixed on the future—toward 2026
and the exciting programs and activities ahead. We can’t wait to share throughout the year!!
Please remember to review your Guild Directory for details about upcoming programs. We’ll
continue to share any additions or updates as they become available.
Kudos to Linda Brimanson, Cathy Rasque, and everyone who helped make the Christmas Social
such a success. I’ve heard so many wonderful compliments about the desserts, activities, and
fellowship. It was a beautiful reminder that we are more than a guild—we are a family.
Finally, January is your last chance to sign up for the February Make It & Take It
programming. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to take highly interesting workshops from your
guild members. I’m already signed up, and I hope you are too! See Susan Gordon for more
information.
Happy Quilting everyone!
Warmly,
Kim Beasley
President, Gwinnett Quilters’ Guild

Thanks to all our members using our library. Hope you are enjoying new additions from our recent and upcoming guest speakers as well as our latest additions to Quiltfolk. Because we registered our guild with Quiltfolk’s nationwide guild directory we are receiving copies of Quiltfolk on a quarterly basis.
Quiltfolk would love to find more ways to work together and support our guild. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to contact the Librarians or Board Members.
