Wow!  It seems like yesterday when I said as your new President  “I will strive to continue to promote and strengthen our presence in the community at large through the preservation of the history and traditions as expressed through our quilts.” That was four years ago! 

I believe we have done just that. We have had a strong presence in the quilting community. We have participated in many major quilting programs in the Bay Area. The deYoung  Museum Gee’s Bend and Amish exhibits, the Global Warming Project; Breast Cancer Quilt Project; the Delta Sigma Theta Project, the Literacy Program, the 40 Acres Gallery exhibit - just to name a few.  The past four years have been great! I have enjoyed every minute of it.  As I pass the presidency on to our next person, let me say that I appreciate all of you for your patience, your friendship, and your willingness to learn and grow with me.  We have accomplished much together.

As you can guess, I cannot leave without a challenge! Along with the next President’s Challenge, I challenge each of you to help make our first quilt show scheduled for April 9, 2011, a successful one!  As always, I am proud to be a member of this diverse guild.

Sassy Stitch signing off!  Thanks!    -  Ann
