Welcome from another Guild Newsletter Chairperson. Fun, isn't it? Lots of good folks here to learn from and with.

Hi. Welcome from southern mid-Michigan, my family used to vacation in Muskegon when I was a young girl. I remember visiting Hardy Dam. We stayed at a camp ground, and I took long walks with my grandmother very early each morning. Very fond memories.

Welcome from Oklahoma with a Massachusetts accent. So happy you could be here. It is wonderful!

Hello, and welcome from Oklahoma.

:) Hi IBQuiltin: I just became the newsletter editor this past November when the spot became vacant. Though I am fairly new to quilting and the guild, I knew I could handle working on the computer to do a newsletter - and they desperately needed an editor and no one wanted the job! I will probably be doing this job for a long time, unless in a few years, someone new wants to take over, or when I'm no longer able to... At first there was a few glitches while I learnt how to work in Publisher (new to me :lol: ). Then of course the ladies are probably getting tired of my endless questions re: quilting terms etc... though in one sense I think my being a newbe is good, the older members sometimes forget that to new quilters, they may as well be speaking Greek. It is becoming more fun now that I have also realized I can change things around and add some extras, quilting related and sometimes just interesting tibits, reflections or thoughts. Of course there is an issue with space, and I wouldn't tread too far off the track, but sometimes we need a little humour or inspiration. I also like adding little icons (pictures) from another program I have, ie for Valentine's and St. Patrick's etc... and quilt pictures too, of course. :D So how long have you been doing your newsletter? Is it available on a website? Ours can be seen in our website (which I think I may have put on this site wrong :? )our website is:KawarthaQuiltmakersGuild.ca
I would love to view a copy of your newsletter! Various Guilds in Ontario share their newsletter, which I love as I have received some great ideas from them and hopefully I'll be sharing some too. That is also one of the things I am loving about the Quilting Board so far, everyone seem so friendly and willing to share. I'm sure if (what do I mean, 'if?' more likely 'when' with me!) I run into a problem and need help, I will not wait long for it in this site.
How long have you been quilting and a member of your guild? Do you see yourself being your guild's newsletter editor for a long time?
Well I should get off the computer now, so bye and happy quilting. Mo

:) Hi laparshall, I will pass on your love and fond memories of Muskegon to my friend from there. I'll mention Hardy Dam to her. She is a marvelous and multi-talented person. I feel blessed to know her and hope one day to meet her in person.
Thanks for welcoming me to the Quilting Board. I think I've come to the right place for friendly helpful quilters!
Take care and happy quilting.

:) Hi, and thank you for welcoming me to the Quilting Board. Boston's a bit closer to home for me. LOL How do you like it in Oklahoma? Have you been quilting long?
Hope to hear from you again.
Take care and happy quilting.

:) Hi and thanks for welcoming me to the Quilting Board, Oklahoma Suzie. (you're the second person from Oklahoma to welcome me...that's great!)
Love your 'end note' about living life to the fullest... had a great mental picture of me sliding into heaven. :lol:
Hope to hear from you again.
Take care and happy quilting.
