Business
There were 14 members in attendance.
Kelly B., Vice-President, opened the meeting and welcomed everyone.
In the upcoming months we will consider
cancelling our November and December meetings (since they fall on holidays) and
plan a social/casual get together. Most of the members in attendance preferred to hold this get together on a weeknight instead of a weekend. We
will decide if we want to so a Secret Santa exchange to celebrate the holidays
with each other.
Name Tag Challenge: Members will have until September to complete
a name tag. The guild will provide our
guild logo on fabric for you to use (more info to come on this). The
tag can be any size or design. It was
recommended that you use LARGE print for your name-so members will be able to
read it. Those who complete their name
tag at the September meeting will be eligible for a prize (TBD).
FAT QUARTER SWAP: Please bring a fat quarter of modern fabric
to swap at the August guild meeting.
We now have a Face Book page, friend/follow
us: www.facebook.com/charleston.modernquiltguild. You will continue to find the minutes from our meetings and
other guild information on this website.
We will use our Face Book page for members to correspond with each
other.

Our Quilting Bee
Sarah was our recipient of 16 blocks this
month. We were asked to make a Mother’s
Dream block using fabric provided by Sarah.
She is planning to make an ‘80s-themed quilt for her husband. (2-3 additional blocks will be mailed).
