It Takes All Kinds...

It takes all kinds of quilters to make a successful guild. Each member brings her own style, expertise, and interest to the group.

For example, our guild has the OVER ACHIEVERS: the people like Margie Bernhardt who starts a project one month and brings it completed (or nearly completed) the next month. They encourage us all to get busy and find the time to finish all the projects that we start.

And then we have the RESCUERS. Doris Wierschem found the kit for this dogwood applique quilt at a garage sale. RESCUERS remind us to never throw anything away!

We mustn't forget the INNOVATORS. Here is Lois Hendrickson's quilt, using digital images printed onto fabric sheets. INNOVATORS encourage us to try new techniques and to stretch our imaginations.

And finally, we have our TEACHERS. They are the members who generously share their knowledge and skills. At the September meeting, Margaret Brunier presented a wonderful lesson on making three dimensional flowers.

Hmm, wonder what the OVER ACHIEVERS, the RESCUERS, and the INNOVATORS will do with the lovely roses that we made? Thank you, Margaret!
