Dear Gwinnett Quilters’ Guild Friends,
February was such a bright spot for our guild. Our Make It, Take It program was truly a success
— full of laughter, shared ideas, and that wonderful energy that happens when members teach
and encourage one another. It reminded me again why I love being part of the Gwinnett Quilters’
Guild. We send a heartfelt thank you to Susan Gordon and her entire team of volunteers for
working tirelessly on our behalf to plan, organize and execute this program. Thanks to each of
you for your part!!
As we move into March, we begin forming our nominating committee. While our current
officers will continue serving through the remainder of our term, this is simply the time in our
calendar when we thoughtfully consider future leadership. A few of our board chairs will be
completing their terms later this year, and we are so grateful for the time and heart they’ve given.
Because they’ve served so faithfully, our guild is in a strong place. Serving in leadership has been meaningful to me — not just in helping guide the guild, but in building friendships and getting to know so many of you more personally. If you’ve ever thought about becoming more involved, I hope you’ll consider saying yes to volunteering with us. Whether you’ve served before or this would be your first time stepping forward, there is a place for you. Fresh ideas, willing hands, and caring hearts are always welcome. It truly takes all of us. Like any good quilt, every
piece matters.
With appreciation,
Kim Beasley
President, Gwinnett Quilters’ Guild

Library
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.
