As quilters, we know not every<br \/>\nproject begins with clarity. Sometimes we\u2019re surrounded by<br \/>\npieces, still figuring out how they fit together\u2014but we trust<br \/>\nthat, in time, something meaningful will take shape.<br \/>\nSomehow, some way, it usually turns out better than we<br \/>\nthought it could. I do wonder what this \u201corphan block\u201d will<br \/>\nbecome someday soon\u2014maybe we\u2019re already beginning to<br \/>\nsee it take shape.<br \/>\nLast month, we had a plan regarding our meeting location that ended up a bit wonky\u2014yes, it<br \/>\nhappens! Not because we did anything wrong, but because sometimes, stuff just happens. So,<br \/>\nwe\u2019re addressing those concerns so that we\u2019re all on the same page moving forward.<br \/>\n\u2022 April\u2019s guild meeting will take place in the Fellowship Hall at Cannon UMC on the first<br \/>\nfloor, where we normally meet. Look for Gwinnett Quilt Guild signs in the parking area.<br \/>\nBoard members will inform the Cannon front desk about our April meeting location to<br \/>\nensure clear communication. Likewise, our Newsletter and Blast will continue to share<br \/>\naccurate location information.<br \/>\nThis month, we will have one program and no workshop. Instead, we invite you to stay after the<br \/>\nguild meeting as we come together to cut fabrics for our \u201cJust for You\u201d program. Bring your<br \/>\nlunch in your beautiful cloth lunch bags along with your cutting mat, and scissors or rotary cutter<br \/>\nand patterns\u2014fabric and a few patterns will be provided.<br \/>\nAlso, we are looking for a few members to join the Board. Our Nominating Committee continues<br \/>\nto seek volunteers who are willing and eager to serve. Please let Karen, Gretchen, Paula, Sandy,<br \/>\nor Robin know if you feel called to lead with us.<br \/>\nFinally, the leadership team is beginning its budget review process. If you have suggestions for<br \/>\nfundraisers or programming, we would love to hear from you. More information will be shared<br \/>\nsoon.<br \/>\nI look forward to seeing each of you on April 21st at Cannon UMC, Fellowship Hall, 1st Floor.<\/p>\n<p>With appreciation,<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Kim Beasley<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">President, Gwinnett Quilters\u2019 Guild<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>*************************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Programs Chair Note<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommend a Program<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Thank you to our members who have suggested programming and\/or workshop speakers for guild meetings this year.
