Pine Belt Quilters got off to a busy start for 2012. New officers began their two-year terms: Betty Allen, president; Donna Crager, vice president; Linda Flanders, Secretary/Newsletter Editor; Margie Hancock, treasurer.

Of course, since 2012 is our quilt show year, many of our activities will center around those preparations, but we have a busy schedule of programs, workshops, boutique workshops, and our ongoing children's quilts and pillow and walker tote projects.

Our new officers are pictured in front of our raffle quilt, "Life On Our Planet," which depicts embroidered blocks of living things set with pinwheels and flying geese of batiks. Blocks for the queen-size quilt were made by our members, assembled by Jo-Ann Evans, and quilted by Susie Jackson.
Our January and February programs were presented by Donna Burges, Rhoda Libiez, and Kim Overstreet on Sampler Quilts. They will present a variety of block patterns throughout the year and conduct workshops to help members make the blocks.

Our meetings are held in the Fellowship Hall of University Baptist Church, and sometimes the setup of the room is designed for other events. In these pictures, UBC was preparing for the 20th anniversary of the Backdoor Coffee House. So our quilt program had a little added interest in the background!
