Friday was the last meeting that I presided at as President of the East Cobb Quilters' Guild. It was our Christmas/Holiday party and a good time was had by everyone. It was also time to elect new officers and they then took over at the end of the meeting. I had a great time as President and am delighted that I am turning the gavel over to Danielle for next year. She will do a great job!
Here is a good photo of the Executive Committee that help lead the guild during this year.
It is a tradition of the guild that the outgoing President is given a quilt made by members of the guild. The First Vice President (Danielle) is responsible for getting the quilt made.
As you probably know, I love lime green. Danielle choose lime green, purple and white/light. The block is a split nine patch and each block is signed. There are even some extra blocks on the back. It was quilted for me by Betty, who is a wonderful quilter.
Here is the quilt laying on the piano at the church where we meet. Isn't it beautiful?

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you love the quilt Melinda. It was a joy to design. Thank you for serving the guild! You've left me some really big shoes to wear.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful quilt. I like the off-centeredness of it, and the colors just sparkle. I guess that helps make having all the responsibilities of being president worthwhile??
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, Melinda. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Stay safe and warm.
