Hello friends! I am woefully behind in updating you all on our comings and goings. I will be better going forward. Here’s a quick recap of what happened in July.
July welcomed our new board members for the 2023/24 year. Ann Marston, president. Jeanine Bowin, vice president, Betsy Fabricant and Margy Schilling, programs. Annette Aponte, treasurer. Aubrey A Cece, secretary. We are excited to be working on some fantastic things for the future. We had 33 people join in our July meeting. A special welcome to Ginger S!
Once again the NJMQG is taking part in Mid Atlantic MOD. Don’t know what that is? Check out more here.
We are SUPER excited to bring you our very first quilt show!
Once again we will be participating in the MQG’s Community Outreach Quilt.
We had a lovely lecture and slide show by Sarah Ruiz. Sarah started quilting in 2010/11. She is not only a talented quilter, she is also an aerospace engineer! In 2020 she challenged herself to a 100 day project, making and sending postcards. Since then she has sent over 200 postcards to about 34 states. Read more about her here.
All of this lead us into our next swap.
Some announcements included- An exhibit at the Folk Art Museum, Garden State Quilters exhibit at the Chatham Library, Ellaree and Wanetta had an pieces at Morris County Library and Morristown Museum.
Thanks to all who joined us! Stay quilty!
