Connecting You
with the Art of Quilting
The President's Message
Carol Weber
Welcome to the First Dutchess Quilters' Guild. Whether you are new to the guild or a long time member, we hope you feel welcome at our meetings and other events. The best way to feel more a part of the group is to get involved, come to meetings, participate in workshops, community quilting, Super Saturday, bus trips, volunteer for a guild position or at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show.
President, Carol Weber
“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt” – Sylvia Plath
I hope that all of you have been maintaining your creativity even though our meetings this winter have been sporadic. Whether you have been in a winter slump or not, April at FDQ may be just what you need to get your creative juices flowing. What with Super Saturday, NJ quilt show bus trip, and a great speaker with a workshop, you are bound to become inspired!
See you in April,
Carol Weber
