Committee Announcements

Hospitality [Nedra/Kelli] No updates this month.

New Member / Outreach [Erika & Kirsten]introduced new members at start of meeting.

Charity Committee [Bonnie and Kate]

Kate shared several quilts that are completed and a few WIP's that she needs help from the Guild with.

Several members stepped up to help:

• Rachel will bind a quilt; Cassie will bind a second quilt.

• Passed out kits, block and full kits available

• Nancy donated two quilts to the Charity Committee.

Programs [Michelle]

• Cristy teaching: Applique Two Ways

• Date: November 3rd, Time: 9-4 with an hour lunch

• Location: Mulqueen (new location at Warner and Kyrene)

• Cost: $60 + materials fee ($15 for pattern templates, tutorial, foundation paper, glue stick) OPTIONAL KIT

• 20 members max. Members can sign up through the Members Only Area section of the Guild Website.

Cristy will be teaching two ways to applique: raw edge and needle turn with three hours for each section. The class is an all day class so people can't just go to one half. This ensures that there will be consistency throughout the day and help keep the pace of the class up.

Block of the Month [Melissa] Mari has the BOTM for this month; Claire showed her scissor block to the Guild.

Bee [Faunna/Tracy]-no blocks for September Bee.

OCTOBER Swap [Ana]: Rope Baskets

For this swap you'll need to create a Rope Bowl measuring least 8" in diameter and at least 2" tall. This size is perfect for holding odds and ends near your sewing machine. 

Tutorials and Instructions

There are a number of excellent rope bowl tutorials.

Here are a few to get you started:

Tip from Becca: Be sure to use a large needle and go slow. Using a smaller needle will end up in lots of broken needles and frustration (trust me!). 

November SWAP

The Guild Swap for Novembre will be a fabric bucket (you can make up to 3 buckets from one FQ). The pattern will be posted to the website. Stay Tuned for more details including a link to a free pattern on Craftsy.

Sew & Share: members and guests who brought items to share showed their work and included a small descriptive summary their quilt. Visit the Guild IG account to see photos.

ANNOUNCE WINNER OF CONTEST: 1 Winner gets free dues for 2019! Congrats to Kimie @onwilliamsstreet who won the contest today!
