I was going over some of my notes and forgot to add to my last post to the blog a couple of tidbits I found interesting about our group.  I am sure these tidbits have been mentioned before during a past meeting but it is finally registering in my brain (growing old and having a memory is not always happening LOL).  Anyways while we were voting in our new officers, it was brought up how long we have been a quilt guild and who was the first president.  So congratulations to us all for being a guild for 11 years. And for Olivia being the very first president back then.  Very interesting stuff.  Ok … hope to see everyone at December's meeting/luncheon.
