Co-Chairs, Symposium 2004
The NCQSI board of directors met for their annual planning meeting at Camp Dogwood early in October. The board received wonderful information on Symposium 2004 and 2005, as well as a bid for 2006!
Symposium 2005 will be held at Chowan College in Murfreesboro, NC and will be hosted by "The Girls from the East," which consists of Pamlico River Quilt Guild, Greenville Quilt Guild and Colonial Quilt Lovers.
Symposium 2006 will be held in Winston-Salem, NC and hosted by the Forsyth Piecers and Quilters.
A slate of officers was presented at the October meeting and will be proposed for vote at the March NCQSI meeting. The slate presented is as follows:
NCQSI has held its fall meeting at Camp Dogwood for many years. For those of you who may not be familiar with the facility, it is a camp for the blind that is operated by the Lions Club. The staff has always been so gracious over the years to the board. To show our appreciation, this year the board presented the camp with a quilt, made by board member Rosemary Hansult. The quilt features a basket of apples and is a homespun, raggedy quilt, which allows those with impaired vision to interpret the quilt through their "feeling" senses rather than their visual ones.
Please take a moment to check the listings of North Carolina guilds and quilt shows on this Web site. If you note any additions or updates, please
We hope to compile a list of teachers and judges in North Carolina, which we will addd to this Web site. If you fit into either category, or know someone who should be added to the list, please
Hope to see you all in May for Symposium 2004!
