I thought it was very
interesting to learn about where our love wrappers go and what they mean to so
many people. I am glad you thought of that for a program Cindy.
I would like to give a special
thank you to Steve Cox at the Shreveport Sewing Center to give us the
opportunity to get our denim shirts with the Red Rive logo embroidered on them.
I am looking forward to seeing many of them at the Dallas Quilt Show. That
show is fast approaching and I am trying to decide what I need. (want)!
Another reminder to each and
every Red River Quilters' member to consider serving on the board. Out
board meeting will now be held on the third Wednesday after the guild meeting at
5:15 PM at the Bossier Library. Eve3ryone is invited.
A "congratulations" to Kathy
Johnson on the birth of Carly. She is one lucky little girl!
See you in Dallas
