The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm.
Lizzy House:
Lynn announced that there were still Lizzy House spots open
for each of the workshops, Friday and Saturday at Lance Hall and Sunday at the
Guild meeting location. She said
that she would like help with entertaining Lizzy while she was in town. Phoebe will figure out what she wants
to do and have some of the guild help.
Logistics:
Start at 9 am, so please arrive at 8:30 to unload etc. Lunch will be from Verde, so please
bring cash- around $10.
Guests:
One guest,
Ann, was in attendance and two guests from the past meetings joined the guild,
Marybeth and Lynn.
Emanuel Quilts:
Phoebe, Amy
and Geri went to Mother Emanuel to tell them about the quilts. The church was very appreciative and
asked the group to come to a service and present the quilts. There were enough blocks for 6
quilts. Geri and Lynn are quilting
4 of them and we still need volunteers for binding- Kim, Alice, Sandy and
Debbie volunteered.
Kelly
thanked Phoebe for heading up this great project.
Quilt Camp:
Kelly and
the guild thanked Kim and Jackie for the JK Modern Quilt Camp. Everyone had an amazing time. They said that they are already planning
for next year!
Programming:
Latifah, aka
The Quilting Engineer, will be doing a workshop for the guild next year. We were able to get this at a
discounted rate through her Kickstarter program to get her line off the ground. Here is a link to her, so you can see
her projects. http://www.latifahsaafirstudios.com/
Workshop
Leigh Magar,
local milliner and clothing designer is holding an indigo workshop in
September. See attached flyer. She is only taking 10 people, so sign
up fast. Check out her facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Magar-Hatworks-Madame-Magar/136788303034313
Sew Day- September 19th:
Lynn will
teach the Sailor Top by Fancy Tiger if enough people are interested. You will need to get the pattern before
class. Please sign up so she knows
how many people will attend. (NOTE: There was not enough interest, so it will probably be a regular
open sew day.)
Swaps and Challenges:
Next month
bring in your finished rainbow challenge item. Everyone who participates will be entered into a
drawing. We played bingo for a fat
quarter giveaway and Lynn, one of our new members won.
Everyone
brought in patterns to swap.
Show and Tell:
Phoebe
showed her In Color Order drawstring bag, pattern by Jeni Baker. She made it with Roller Skate
fabric. There is a free pattern on
her blog (http://www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutorial.html),
but you can also purchase the pattern which has more options. She also shared a King size quilt
that she made with Jay McCaroll's Habitat fabric using the churn dash block.
Sandy shared
her fish from one of the row by row patterns. She got it from the Quilted
Corner in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Alice made a drawstring
bag out of Elizabeth by Tula Pink.
She also made a baby quilt for a neighbor using mini charms.
Delynn
shared the Print and Pattern Geometric Book which is not a quilting book, but
has lots of great inspiration for quilters. http://www.amazon.com/Print-Pattern-Geometric-Bowie-Style/dp/1780674147/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441131959&sr=8-1&keywords=print+and+pattern+geometric&pebp=1441131960855&perid=196V5NFXC9YG98K3GFDF
