January Program — Jan Soules
Jan began her quilting career in 2000 when her daughter requested a baby quilt for Isabelle, Jan’s first granddaughter. Since then, she has passionately followed her love for quilting by taking many classes and learning to use all tools and techniques from experienced teachers. In recent years she has experimented with her own designs and has participated in a small art group. She has also dyed some of her own fabric.
In addition to her love of quilting, Jan is also an expert tournament bridge player. She has traveled around the country competing with her husband, Gary. Of course, they visit quilt shops along the way!
Join us on January 6th to hear Jan share her quilting experiences: Spectacular Borders: From Basics to Beyond!
Workshop: January 7th, Kaleidoscope Quilt or Spiderweb Quilt…there are only a few spaces left!

From the Editor:
Starting in February, I will have a poster displaying information about our Affiliates at each Guild meeting. If you are joining or renewing as an affiliate I would appreciate a business card, if you have one, included with your application. You can also give them to me at the December or January guild meeting. I have not always been as consistent in acknowledging those who are affiliates and I would like to insure that you are duly recognized in 2015.
Thanks, Sue Miller
