President's Message • November 2020

It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of October. Where has the year gone. I do not know about all of you but some days fly by and others seem to drag on forever. I miss the connection with fellow quilters. The Zoom meetings have helped. We had our third general Zoom meeting with 28 attendees. It was so nice to visit for the first half hour…just like it used to be before our meetings at the school. This time we did not break into smaller, randomly generated groups but continued to visit again after the meeting was over.

I am proud to be a member of such a giving community. During these difficult times it is so rewarding to see and hear how you continue to make quilts for those in need. I dropped by Community Service last month and was pleasantly surprised to see six other ladies there. I know many others stopped by to drop off or pick up quilts to finish. Community Service meets once a month on the third Thursday from 9 am to 1 pm. Contact Community Service Chair, Nancy Holtz, if you have any questions about how you can help. There are many other groups in our community who make quilts for those in need. Our guild members make quilts for all these different groups. The plan is to highlight these groups in upcoming newsletters so that you may learn about each one.

We still have not heard from the Nevada County Fairgrounds about whether we will be able to have our 2021 Quilt Show. As we learn more from the fairgrounds, we will share that information with all of you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

Please Stay Safe!

..Barbara Ceresa, PTQG President

Other News: 2021 Quilt Show News

While we don’t know what the future will hold, hope springs eternal that we’ll be back to normal by next year. As such, we need to begin our planning for the May 2021 Quilt Show. We know specifically that we need 2 people to Chair the Café and 1 person to handle the advertising mailings. But other Committees are looking for people to help. Working on the Quilt Show is very rewarding and is a great way to meet a lot of guild members and learn about the guild. If you’re interested and/or would like to learn more, please contact any of the Quilt Show Chairs: Sophia Day, Susie Hardy, Sue Miller or Mary Serpa. Our contact information is in the roster.
