September 2017 Sew It Goes 2 Minutes from August s Meeting Judy Whitehead, President, welcomed everyone to the meeting and two visitors were introduced. The Programs was the Quilt Show Recap. The budget for the quilt show was discussed in detail and will be published in the newsletter. Show and Tell was held followed by a short break. After break Judy explained that we needed a nominating committee for the upcoming election of officers. The guild needs a President and 2nd Vice President. President duties are written in the by-laws as: President Shall preside over all Guild and Executive Board meetings; shall appoint special committee chairmen and coordinators; is a member ex-officio of all committees except the nominating committee and serves as an alternate signer of checks. President duties do not include the Special Projects, such as mystery quilt or block of the month. Those are a separate position. 2nd Vice President duties are to plan and book programs and workshops for the following year. This position can be co-chaired as it currently is. Delores, the Treasurer, gave the balance in the treasury as $13,174.65. Delores told us we are $2,500 behind two years ago but the money from the donation quilt hasn t been entered into the treasury yet. Soup kitchen donations were $49.10. Rene Crowder explained the UFO outcome for this year. were 340 UFOs on the lists given to Rene. 61 have been completed. Delores Fobare and Greta McCrea completed their whole list and Greta gave Rene another list and finished part of it. The most UFOs on the list are by Snow Wildsmith. The most completed were by Laurie Jasany. Judy Whitehead s name was drawn as the Grand Prize Winner which means she won the fat quarters that were turned for each item you listed on the UFO lists. Judy Mikilitus gave us the results for the voter s choice at the quilt show. First Place went to Julie Murphy, 2nd Place to Barbara Barrier, Third Place was a 3-way tie between Bill Boyd, Delores Fobare, and Cheryl Lands. Fourth Place went to Mary Hildebrand.

September 2017 Sew It Goes 4 October Workshop Quilt As You Go Fat Quarter Log Cabin Jennifer Kay is an award winning long arm quilter as well as a representative for Marti Mitchell. She is going to show us how to utilize Marti Mitchell s rulers for completing log cabin blocks. In addition, she will be demonstrating and teaching the concept of Quilt As You Go (QAYG). This wonderful technique will expand our quilting forte especially for those who are quilting on smaller, domestic machines as we can then do intricate quilt designs without having to maneuver a large quilt in a small amount of space. Let the ideas flourish!!! Please note: Jennifer will have rulers to use for the workshop for those who do not currently own them. Date: Wednesday, October 25, 9am Place: Centre Presbyterian Church Cost: Members, $25.00; Non- Members, $35.00 Tuesday, October 10th ROAD TRIP!! Our goal is YLI Threads, tour the facility, check out the items and for those that wish, a stop at Mary Jo s. Final details and signups for drivers at our Sept meeting.
