Chatham Quilters
February 2007
Dear Quilters:
The Quilt Show was amazing. Chatham certainly made its talented ladies
known. I didn’t count ribbons but did count 32 entries from our
Chapter in the program – IMPRESSIVE. You are an inspiration to all of
us. Thank you to everyone who participated by entering, visiting, working,
etc.! It was a wonderful show! Best Wishes to Chatham’s Joy Lynch as
she co-chairs the Quilt Show in 2009.

February Tornado
The events of last Friday morning have impacted each of us in one way or
another. Our thoughts and concerns are with everyone affected by this Tornado.
Also, I thought you might like to know that a group from Peggy’s Heirlooms in Ocala is making quilts for the Tornado victims in Lady Lake and The Villages. I don’t have all the details but am sure that if you are interested, you can get them by calling the store (352-351-8282). As I receive more details, I will email them to all of you. Sandy
REMEMBER: WEAR YOUR NAMETAG TO CHAPTER MEETINGS AND BRING YOUR VILLAGE I.D.
