Lunch and Lecture in coordination with Fiber Art exhibit at the Volland Store in Alma Kansas

Mary Elmusa, one of our regional members, has asked me to share this exciting event announcement with everyone.  This exhibit of Debra Smith's contemporary fiber art and Elizabeth Wilson's vintage quilts is running September 20-December 20, 2015 at the Volland Store in Alma, Kansas.  This upcoming Sunday (November 1st) the Surface Design Association is sponsoring a lunch and lecture in association with the exhibit.  For more information, check the Volland Store website at: http://thevollandstore.com/    All are welcome!

Congrats to Shin-Hee Chin and Cherrie Hampton on being accepted as SAQA JAMs

You all probably saw it in the recent SAQA e-bulletin, but two of our regional members, Cherrie Hampton and Shin-Hee Chin were recently accepted as SAQA JAMs!  The jurying process is quite involved from what I understand, so kudos to them for their acceptance.
