as well as several hours of sewing.

Next came February and a much anticipated program

presented by four members of our guild and orchestrated by

Carol Hagadorn. Carole English, Pam Winburg, Gretchen

Haddock and Christine Twiss each shared a specific talent

used in quilting. All guild members attending left with a

better understanding of stencils, appliqué, machine quilting

and flying geese.

In addition, several new programs for the Guild year

were introduced.

Karen Williams and Roxanne White presented the

members with the “Challenge of the Year” which came with

a fat quarter of fabric that will be included in everyone’s

project. A BOM (Block of the Month) program was also

introduced and explained. The first two of twelve block pat-

terns were handed out along with rules for the project. Both

challenges will help produce quilting projects to be shown

at our quilt show next October.

The monthly Sew&Sew will continue on the third

Tuesday of the month. In March it will be held at the Vil-

lage Station. If you are interested in seeing what wonderful

talent your neighbors possess, drop by between 9:00 a.m.

and 2:00 p.m. to witness art in the making.

The entire process of preparing, listing and
selling my home was made easier with ‘Georgia
Views Realty’. Their experience and expertise,
as well as a helping hand when required was
invaluable. Their knowledge of the unique
Big Canoe market was important, and their
marketing strategy was key to a “win, win”
negotiation resulting in a quick sale at very
near list price, I couldn’t be more pleased with
the outcome!
