News, news and more news

First, the business side:  Linda F can you please draw a name 'out of the hat' for the next challenge, publish it soon so the person has time to set our next challenge.

        Names left:  Allison, Amanda, Patricia, Phillida, Mai-Britt, Hilary and Momo.

Who, you ask, is Momo?  Well, the sad news is that Claire is stepping down because of her new role on the executive of SAQA.  Congrats Claire, I know you will champion the quilters 'in the rest of the world'.  I am really sad to loose you because you brought a refreshing perspective to the group.  I hope you will stay in touch and keep a beady eye on us.

The really, really good news is that Momo is joining us.  Claire met her when teaching in Japan recently.  It is so exciting to have a quilter from Japan in the group.  Momo will introduce herself shortly when all the connections are set up.

I have joined the group who have finished their doors - quite a number I understand.  Jinnie, hope you are well and truly on the mend now but don't overdo it!

Mai-Britt it is so, so good to have you active in the group again - we missed you.  Welcome back.

The down side to finishing early is that I have to wait so much longer for reveal day - I'm used to taking it to the wire and almost instantaneously revealing.

Best wishes everyone, hope you are all safe and well and being careful,

Hilary

  1. Eek! I have gone and put both feet in it! Momo is from Taiwan, not Japan. I am so sorry, Momo, that is very remiss of me. And Claire was teaching in China. Groan, I really messed up here. It is wonderful to have someone join us from a brand new country and culture. So sorry Momo. Hilary
