It's almost here! And what's that about Letters to the Editor?

Have you been wondering where your December Template is? It got caught up in the Great Australian Christmas shutdown, but the printers are back now, the colour proofs have been approved and it's all go. Fingers crossed it will be in the post next week!

One of the innovations in this issue is a Letters to the Editor page - it's not only a chance for your voice to be heard as a Guild member, but also every eligible entry (Guild members with an address in Australia) will go into a draw to win a 6-issue subscription to Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine.

How can you participate? Each issue a topic is set for you to write about. In this issue Lynn Hewitt has written about "The problem of UFOs". Read her piece, write your response (under 100 words) and send it to editor@quiltersguildnsw.com with "Letters to the Editor" in the subject line, and that's it! Easy as pie. We may not be able to publish all the letters we receive, but every letter we receive goes into the draw. Please make sure you include your name, surname, town/suburb and state.

The closing date for your letters about UFOs is 31 January - I'm guessing if you're reading this blog that you have email, but snail mail to the Guild offices is fine too (addressed to Template Editor, Letters to the Editor/UFOs, Quilters Guild of NSW Inc, Level 5, 276 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000).

I've started work on the next issue - today was the deadline for copy, so if you've a quilt show date for the calendar or photos to send or you want to advertise - I need the information now! Editorial content to the Editor at the address above. Advertising enquiries should be directed to the Publicity Officer: publicity@quiltersguildnsw.com.
