Saturday January 23rd

Ten people came to sew. A lot was accomplished. Quilts were started, worked on and sandwiched ready to be quilted. We talked about how to prevent wavy borders. Pillowcases for charity were made.

We also discussed our charity projects. Ossie volunteered to make some labels for our donation quilts. On the 3rd Saturday of each month the fabric will be brought to make string quilts. You may work on them at the meeting or take it home to work on. Our progress will be recorded on this blog.

We discussed Quilters Day Out which will be held on Sat. March 13th. Our guild has been asked to sell door prize tickets and Kay will introduce our guild. We need to provide a door prize and ask members to donate up to $5 for this. Ossie and Kay will collect the money and purchase items.

This coming Sat. since we can stay until 7 pm we will have a pot luck dinner. A special Valentine's project will be presented. Bring a FQ or red and a FQ of white to participate.

Today we found out that the community center will be open until 4pm on Saturdays starting next week until April 15th. There will be tax preparers there for qualifying people.

On Jan 30th we can stay until 7pm! Let's plan on a retreat for that day. Bring a dish to pass and your drinks.

If you want to make a special valentines day project bring 1 FQ of red and 1 FQ of white fabric (or a light color for a background). The red can be plain, tone on tone or have some white in it. We will be exchanging our reds.
