Business: Jean opened the meeting and after our usual introductions welcomed our visitors and guests.
The updated calendar is now available on the blog. Our November meeting will be the third Tuesday of the month and there will be no December meeting. Our holiday party is scheduled for December 8.
Tracy Arimsmendi from Moda Fabrics was our program speaker. She talked about how fabric lines were chosen and printed and brought samples of several new lines for us to see.
We discussed the Berkeley County Airing of the Quilts. More information can be found here. Registration is open at $5 per entry with no limit to number of quilts entered. Drop off is September 14-19.
Linda talked about the Coastal Carolina Fair which is running from October 31 – November 10th. She is calling for volunteers to work at the booth for three hour shifts. Those volunteers receive free entry to the fair and preferred parking at the venue.
Social Media: Jenifer has taken over the position of Social Media Coordinator and is doing a fantastic job. Thank you Jenifer!
Charity: Christmas stockings will be donated to Sanders-Clyde Elementary kindergarten class. We need 24 stockings for students and three small stockings for teachers and aides. Our Trash to Treasure yardsale will provide the funds to buy items to fill the stockings. Stockings will be due by December 8 and can be turned in at the holiday party.
Swaps and Challenges: Kim reviewed the details for the Churn Dash challenge which is due by the November meeting. There is no size limit for your churn dash projects.
She also presented a new fabric postcard challenge. Those who will participate were given a partner and that partner’s mailing address. Postcards will be made and mailed by September 18 so that they can be received by our next meeting on September 24. Please bring in your received postcards for show and tell. Contact Kim or Rick with questions.
