National Modern Quilt Guild
has issued another challenge with Michael Miller fabrics. Signs ups were at tonight's meeting.
National Modern Quilt Guild
will reprint our membership cards with our logo; we hope to have them next month.
Committee Talks
Charities: Sandy spoke to us about making quilts for the
Royal
Family Kids Camp, a camp for foster kids ages 6-11. It is for one week a year during the summer
for 35 children. Quilt should be 50” x
60”. More information will be emailed to
us. Please take a guild label to put on
your charity quilts.
Swaps: We
started our Modern Block of the Month challenge.
Each month we will receive a new pattern; you are asked to make a block
to return at the next guild meeting. At
the next sew day, the blocks will be sewn into a quilt for one of our charity
quilts. You do not have to
participate. Our first block will be the
Modern
Movement Block by Letty at Happy Dance Quilting. Please use the
background fabric and let the colors on the pattern be the inspiration for your
fabric choices. You can use prints or solids.
Juanita and Keri received
their blocks from the finish of last year’s block swaps.

vice-president) gave us a little background on the publishing world. She writes for
Quilty Magazine. She showed us her
quilts/projects from the books and gave us the background stories on them.
Jennifer Leyh will be
teaching a free motion quilting class on September 20, 2015. Sign-ups will be at the next meeting, we
think the class price will be $35; more info to come.
