Today at the quarterly meeting, one season gently folded into another as Wilma Havenga was elected as the new president.

Heartfelt thanks to Jean Downing for the care, dedication, and steady hands that guided the guild so beautifully through her term. And now, with Wilma and her team; Gafsa Stenekamp (vice president), Karen Nicole, Jean Downing, Lynette Rheeder, Chin Beley, Dorothy Lubbe, Karen Dehon and Essie Dreyer; a new chapter begins… full of fresh ideas, shared creativity, and threads still waiting to be stitched together.

Surrounded by beautiful quilts, stories in fabric, and the warmth of a creative community, it was an inspiring day in every way.
