Business: Jean displayed a slide show of member’s quilts displayed at the Cobblestone Quilt Guild. She also displayed and went over the 2024 Guild Calendar, which will be electronically linked to membership emails, as well as a link to the Guild blog. Congrats to all who won ribbons at the Quilt Show!
Casey explained the Quilting Bee she’s organizing using recycled fabrics. See Casey if you are interested in joining the Bee.
Welcome to our 3 new members tonight: Rachel Cochran, Yvonne Coleman (sister/associate) and Dianna Park.
Program: Susan Brandt presented the logistics and options in topic and venue she researched for the 2024 Class Event. She presented 10 class options and membership voting decided upon the Wayfinder Quilt class taught by Brooke Shankland of Eudaimonia Studios. She will teach virtually at the Park West Clubhouse in Springfield on October 19th. In acknowledgement that we should be planning an event at least one year in advance, there was a “tie” vote for 2025 class event for either Karen Bolan curves class OR Annabel Wrigley improv piecing class. Thanks to Susan and her committee for all their work on thisvent.
April will feature Susan Brandt on a quilting program she’s participated in. May is the Guild Trash to Treasure so gather and bring your crafting items to donate for the market fundraiser.
Challenges/Swaps: The Red and White Unleashed challenge participants displayed their entries this month. Thanks Connie for the inspiration! We had a great turnout.
Rick and Kim handed out the scrap swap tonight which is due in May. Must use the fabric in the bag plus from your stash.
Sew Days: Sew Days are the 3rd Saturday of the month, usually held at Five Eighth Seams, 9:30-12:30 to work on anything. Cathy Beemer will feature “strippers’ – ideas to use scraps in strips for improv quilting. Bring solid color scraps.
