Guild Member Volunteer Needed
In the past guild member Nancy Robinson has provided small 8x10” quilted pieces, primarily landscapes, that are framed by Cedarcrest and given to outgoing members of their Board of directors. She has made a couple of them recently, so there may not be an immediate need at this point. She is requesting that another guild member take over this task. It typically involves making 2-4 pieces per year, depending on turnover. When someone volunteers, she would be happy to pass along the relevant details. In the past she has charged Cedarcrest $20-$30. each.
