This is a brief update to all the members of the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild to advise you that there have been a few changes to your committee. As of 19th September, Helene has decided to step down from the committee, due to personal reasons and family commitments. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking her for her enthusiasm, vision and efforts in establishing our guild. Please be assured that your committee will continue to work to organize and promote our guild as a fun and creative place to come together as modern quilters. We will contact all our members soon asking for your survey feedback, so that we can tailor our activities to meet your needs as much as possible. Stay tuned!
