Syracuse Utah Quilters

Merry Christmas Syracuse Quilt Guil d What's better than getting together with all your quilting friends?  Having a wonderful Christmas Luncheon with all your quilting friends.  The Syracuse Quilt Guild got together on December 9, at the Hug Hess Cafe in Syracuse, making fun memories, eating terrific food and sharing gifts and laughter. We presented a gift to Jeannette for all the wonderful job she has done as our President for 2015 and that she will be serving again for 2016.  We also presented gifts to Belinda and Yvonne for doing such a great job of the birthday presentations and to Becky for serving as Secretary/Treasurer for the past three years. Karen shared one of her wonderful tips with us Quilters really know how to do gift exchanges   Olivia is all smiles with her gift Maggie loves her quilted basket Barbara working at getting into her gift What did you get Susan? Sandra and Pam checking out their gifts

Syracuse Quilt Guild November Meeting As winter approaches, at least it feels like it, the Syracuse Quilt Guild kept nice and warm with a wonderful meeting full of  beautiful quilts, news to share and great tips.  Sandra reported that this year's Utah Quilt Fest was a success with the Camp Site being a very popular activity that will probably continue in the future.  We congratulated Belinda for her Quilters First Aid Kit (chocolate being an important item) being shared on Fons and Porter television series.  We also "elected"  the officers for 2016 and so grateful to Jeanette for accepting the presidency for a second year and to Pam stepping up as President elect and Becky will continue as Secretary/Treasurer.

Just Spooktackular What a great meeting of the Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild.  Lots of information and fun quilts. Sandra shared lots of information from the Utah State Quilt Guild including exciting information about the the Guilds 40th Anniversary, the Ruby Jubilee in 2017.  She asked us to start thinking about making a Red and White quilt to go on a road show around the state.  It should be lots of fun.  We also spent some time talking about this year's quilt fest and providing feedback.
