No meeting in November due to Thanksgiving
holidays. You will receive an email with

will be included in the Holiday party email.
Saturday, October 19, 2013 was our first Sewing
Day. Pictures are available on Facebook. Another Sewing Day is being set-up for
November 16, 2013 at the Heritage Trust Bank on Coleman Blvd. Plan to join us! And mark your calendars for
January 18, 2014 for our third Sewing Day.
Starting at our January 28, 2014 meeting, guild meetings will be held
at our new location: the Heritage Trust
Bank building, 847 Coleman Blvd, Mt. Pleasant.
It is a very nice facility and we are looking forward to being
there. Special thanks to Tamie and Sam
Herin for letting us use their office as a meeting space.
Riley
Blake Challenge has been extended to February 17, 2014.
FYI: The Cobblestone Quilters Guild will be
hosting their quilt show February 28-March 1, 2014. January 9, 2014 is the deadline to enter

Committee Talks
Swaps & Challenges: Phoebe and Keri each
won a bundle of Modern Christmas fat quarters tonight in a drawing. A reminder that the People, Places &
Quilts challenge is due at the end of month to PPQ in Summerville. No sleeve is required on the quilt. Put a label on the back, but cover for
judging.
Special Events: Plans are being made
for our Holiday party on December 7, 2013.
Details will follow. Save the
date on your calendars.
Community Service & Donations: Tamie has asked us
to make baby quilts to be donated to the Silent Auction during the Cobblestone
Quilters Guild Quilt show. This year all
proceeds from the silent auction will go to My Sister’s House. We now have Charleston Modern Quilt Guild
labels to use on our charity items. Make
sure to pick up some at the next meeting.
Please bring your donation baby quilts to the January meeting.
Programs: A Questionnaire/Survey was passed out to members
to complete so that we can see what we are interested in seeing and doing
through our guild. We are trying to plan
programs that everyone is interested in hearing and learning. If you did not turn them in at the meeting
please mail to: Post Office Box 723,
Sullivan’s Island SC 29482.
Tonight we made a Word Cloud by answering 16 questions from Kelly B to see what we are
really interested for our guild to be doing.
It was a lot of fun and we each learned a little more about each other.
Quilting Bee
Phoebe received 16 house blocks at the meeting
and more to follow. This month we
received bee packets from Delynne and Ginny (since we are not meeting in November). Please bring their blocks to the
holiday party in December or at the January meeting. (Photos of all blocks at the end of the post.)
Delynne passed out Tic-Tac-Toe block
information. In your packet you received
the background fabric and blocks will finish at 9 inches. You will use your SOLID fabrics. Make sure
you press toward your color fabric.
Ginny wants us to make a Fast Forward Block for her. We each received background fabrics and use your own blues, grays, greens or browns. Make sure to read your directions!
Show & Tell
We had a great show and tell. Thanks to all who contributed and make sure
to bring new items next month.
