• The February meeting is a lecture/trunk show featuring Nancy Crasco who will lecture about her work and what inspires and motivates her. Because her work has been positively influenced by Asian textiles since 1995, the title of this lecture is "Looking to the East: Inspiration from Asian Textiles."

• March is Beatriz Grayson month, who will present a lecture and slide show, she calls "Designing with Fabric." The following Satuday, March 29, 2007, she will teach a workshop "From Photo to Finish" which begins with composition and perspective, and finally translates from paper to fabric.

• At the April meeting, Mary K. Ryan will present a lecture/slide show called "Stargazing: a starstruck quilter's tour through the galaxzy of star quilts, old and new." The following day, April 23, 2007, she will teach a workshop on Tessellations: "Discover how tessellations are formed to create an intruguing interlocking design, learn the secrets, and have fun with the techniques to create your own."

• Our final speaker for the year, Jeanne Williamson, will speak on her experiences making a small quilt a week for seven years, and of the different techniques and materials she used. Her project evolved into what is now called the "Journal Quiilt Project", the exhibits over the past two years at Images, and the tome edited by Karey Bresenhan, "Creative Quilting".

• Our annual June meeting, with desserts and coffee, will be fun and playful and a secret for now.
