November 12, 2011 meeting recap

by Julie Pickett on 12/06/11

The November 12, 2011 General Membership meeting was a huge success with almost 40 people from the Society and the La Plata Quilters Guild in attendance! Elections were held and the following people were retained in their positions: Ruth Lambert, President; Julie Pickett, Vice President; Jill Seyfath, Secretary-Treasurer.

Following the meeting, Ms. Brianna McCormick gave a fascinating talk on the history and genealogy of signature quilts. Brianna is a quilt historian and hails from the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts. She is now the museum assistant at the Animas City Museum.

2011 was a very successful inaugural year for the Society. Many thanks to all of the wonderful Society members who joined this year and the La Plata County Historical Society and the Animas Museum for their support!

Merry Christmas to all! See you in the New Year!

I found Chris Brussat's presentation on how to write family histories extremely interesting and very useful. I continue to be amazed at how great the SWCGC meetings and related workshops are.
