Member of 1st Quarter 2010-Bernice Haner

Bernice Haner has been voted our Member of the Quarter for January-March 2010. Bernice is honored to be named member of the quarter for the first quarter of 2010. She has been quilting since 1981 and is a founding member of FIQ. She has been very active in the guild serving on every committee, but never chose to take an office. She spent 2 1/2 years in Nepal, with the Peace Corps. There she taught women to embroider, appliqué and quilt. These were all fun things to do at the sewing center where she worked. She is also proud to say there are several bed covers in homes there. Upon her return she took up where she left off, by being active in the guild and doing the things quilters love to do.
