President's Message
Welcome to the Gulf States Quilting Association family. GSQA offers its’ membership many opportunities to enjoy our common passion, quilting. Please enjoy our website and take advantage of the many offerings of our organization. Every quarter we offer meetings that allow us to visit with old friends and meet new ones, always with a program for education and enjoyment. Following meetings we host Pursuit of Excellence…free classes to take back to your guild. Our circuit teachers teach a wide variety of classes to help you tackle something new or perfect a technique. They are very talented!! The Biennial Quilt Show is held in even years (2010, 2012) and is FABULOUS! You won’t want to miss this. Our organization celebrates outstanding quilters with the Marion Maerke Scholarship given each year to one of our members. As you can see…we offer more than just a love of quilting, much more!! I hope you enjoy the site and decide to join our quilting family…any forms needed are provided on the site. I hope to see you soon at one of our activities…come up and introduce yourself, I’d love to meet you.
Quilting hugs,
Lucy DeHarde
