Mary and I would like to welcome you back to our first meeting of the 2025 – 2026 year! We hope that you had a wonderful summer and spent some quality time quilting! My summer was full of travel and just so I wouldn’t miss quilting, I brought my Featherweight with me on our annual family beach vacation!

We are excited with the array of programs that will be offered this year and invite you to participate in them, as well as joining us for a few new get-togethers.  We are hopeful that you will not only participate in an activity but also volunteer and assist with some of our activities.  As you know, it takes many people to pull this all together so why not start off the year by helping in whatever way you have the time or interest to do?  This is a great way for our new members to get to know others!

Looking forward to seeing you on September 17th!
JoAnne Hochstein and Mary Rossetti, president@northernstarquilters.com
