Last meeting of the year - and what a wild ride, but we did it! Not a single month missed, more sewdays and a National Speaker as our endcap to the year!
Elections were held - our slate of officers were unanimously approved.
Co-presidents: Mary Dittenber and Jeni Kuszak
Vice President: Jennifer McKitrick

Guest Lecturer, Cindy Grisdela, gave us her presentation, "Journey of an Art Quilter."
She discussed some tutorials that can be found on her blog, including facing a quilt and mounting a quilt on canvas.
She gave excellent advice on quilting:
- “Nobody knows what you meant to do” referring to utilizing unexpected outcomes as opportunities.
- “What if” is one of the most important questions to ask in improv.
- “Lean to hear your inner voice and get past ‘that’s ok’ to get to what makes your heart sing.”
- “The most important person to please is yourself.”

After her most excellent talk, we discussed the budget for 2021 where we plan to have workshops and more national speakers.
