Running a bit late with the Directory the year but I've been running late
for about the last 6 months so this is nothing new. Let's get through the
holidays and then I will open the Directory form for a few weeks. We should
have the Directory done by the end of February -God willing and the creek
don't rise! . I will be doing it solo this time as Karen needs to focus on
other things right now. Perhaps I can get a partner for the next
Directory.

For those new to the group, the Directory is a listing of all faithful
posters on the group who would like to participate in the Directory. It
contains name, postal address, email address and screen name along with
favorite colors and fabric types. Because it contains personal information,
we are very careful about who gets a copy of the Directory. An online form
is made available for several weeks which is used to collect all the
information. Then the information is sorted and edited and formatted into a
spreadsheet. Those already in the Directory get a copy emailed to them.
Those who are not in the Directory and would like to be will fill out the
form and go through a qualification based on number of postings, time on the
group, etc. We take our personal information very seriously so we hope the
new folks understand the scrutiny is for their protection as well.

I will post another message after the New Year to provide the link to the
form.

Happy holidays to all! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New
Year filled with lots of quilting time!
