Members,

The season has changed, and that means we will all be doing more creating thanever! The cool days and early darkness seems to be an inspiration to get back tothose unfinished projects.

I hope you have all started on your challenge quilts. When picking the challenge, theBoard wanted to give you something that would have you thinking and learning as youcreated. I found it very interesting to match one of my colors, and learn that it was notin the original family/tone I thought! It was much fun wandering around Mary Jo's withmy paint chip as I reviewed colors, tones, shades (trying to remember Belinda's won-derful lesson on color!) I am looking forward to seeing all of your creations nextmonth!

Keep Quilting!Donna Wesemann
