2 Presidents Message Rohan Quilters As soon as my husband and I made our decision to move to The Villages, I knew I wanted to become a member of The Guild. About a year ago I started dropping in on the chapter meetings at Rohan in hopes that one day I would be told there was an opening and I could join. I was so excited the day Kelly called to tell me I was now a member! I am very proud and honored to be serving as co-president with Lin. A few weeks ago Lin and I had a chance to sit down and chat with the guild president. She asked us to tell her about our chapter. As we started listing all of the charity work we had accomplished and our past and upcoming programs I realized what a wonderful and creative group of women make up our chapter. conversations. If you feel yourself getting tired of sitting, feel free to get up and stretch, take a restroom break, or go back to the treat table. We have our workshop with Marie Anderson to look forward to on February 20th. I ll be contacting Marie soon to find out about supplies and anything else we need to know before the class. I plan to send out an with that information instead of taking business meeting time. A good day is a day spent quilting laughing and sharing with friends. Yours in stitches, Kathy Powers Please be patient with Lin and me as we learn how to best work together to help our chapter. We are very much aware of the concern that many of you have about the length of our business meetings. The use of an agenda is one thing we re trying to help keep the meetings on track. Items you would like to add to the agenda should be sent to Lin and me about a week before our business meeting. We re also going to ask you to put your phones on polite mode during our meeting time and to limit side 2

My favorite part is working on the top; I really don t enjoy the batting/backing/quilting & binding part! I quilt because I enjoy making beautiful things as gifts for others or for my home. Whenever I am working on a project for someone, I am thinking about them when I pick out the project & fabric and as I am working on it. I always hope they know & appreciate how personal and special a quilt gift is. Kelly Sanders table runner Favorite pattern and/or fabric? I really don t have a favorite pattern.
