Business:
A motion was made by Linda
and seconded by Becky to approve the 2014 Budget. All of the membership in attendance approved.
Each committee chair reported back about the events and ideas for the remainder of the year. It was decided that each month we
will ask each committee chair to give us a report, so that we can keep up to
date with everything going on.
Membership/Space
Delynne-Chair, Becky &
Kim
Each member should have a
directory of addresses/phone numbers and you are asked to verify your
information. We are in the process of
producing a postcard with the guild’s information on it for quilt shops, shows,
etc.
Community Service
Sandy-Chair, Tamie, Geri,
Linda & Pat
We contributed items to the
My Sister’s House silent auction held during the Cobblestone Quilt Show in
February/March 2014. At this time we
will have 15 quilts to donate to the Royal Family Kids Camp, a camp for foster kids ages 7-1. Quilts should be throw size 50” x 60”. Gender neutral works, since they will not
know the number of boys or girls attending this summer in June. We can discuss if we want to take the fourth
quarter off or if there is a charity during the holidays that we want to do
something for let us know.
Programs
Whitner-Chair, Kelly B,
Cathy, Juanita and Amy.

Special Events
Keri-Chair, Jackie, Susan, Lana,
Ruth & Jenifer
The events committee is
working with the Charleston Museum for a behind the scene tour. In July we will begin to talk about our
Christmas party, which this committee and the Swaps committee will be coordinating. There was
some talk about the upcoming AQS
Quilt Shows in Charlotte NC
(7/30/14-8/2/14) and in Chattanooga TN (9/10/14-9/13/14).
Swaps & Challenges
Lynn-Chair, Alice, Ruth,
Ginny & Phoebe
Right now this group is busy
with the Michael Miller Challenge issued by the National MQG. We explained the Charleston Group Quilt to
our new members and had additional sign ups to make blocks.
Charleston Group Quilt
We are in the midst of making
a group quilt with Charleston as the theme.
Blocks can be pictures or the words with a modern flair. You are asked to use Kona Cotton solids by
Robert Kaufman. You can use any color,
but we are trying to keep our backgrounds or use of white to Kona Snow. (This
is the name of the fabric/color, do not use a bolt that says White). The colors from our logo in Kona are: School Bus, Blue, Water, Cadet, and Medium
Grey. Sizes for blocks square or
rectangles six to twenty inches.
Deadline for blocks will be the July guild meeting (7/27/14).
