Members,
Where does the time go? The seasons are changing already. The kids have gone
back to school. The stores are full of Halloween, and even Christmas! I am sure that
time moves faster as I get older. For quilters this is when we put our nose to the
grindstone. It's time to get those projects you had planned for last years gifts out and
get going.
It's also time to get those paint chips out and finally decide what you are going to
make for your challenge. Our November meeting will be devoted to viewing and vot-
ing on the gorgeous quilts you create. I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Keep Quilting!
