December Meeting

We had our December guild meeting Thursday night. We had a fairly short business meeting, and then we did our Christmas gift exchange, played Bingo, and had a little Christmas feast.

Minutes:

December meeting-

Block of the Month ---- We decided last month that we are going to change the direction of our Block of the Month program in Margie's new administration. This year, it will be geared toward community service. So instead of everyone making their own individual blocks and keeping them to make a quilt (which you can still do if you wish), we all will make our blocks to be donated, and at the end of the year, we should have enough blocks to either make one very large quilt or several smaller ones. To get this started in the New Year, we ask that everyone who wants to participate brings a yard of fabric to donate to this project. We plan to start out making red, white, and blue quilts for veterans. So far we have three volunteers who are going to bring fabrics - 

Becky bringing red 

Margie bringing blue

Pat Y. bringing beige 

Romme will also bring her large sack of reds, whites, and blues that were donated to the guild by the late Carolyn P. 

We did decide that we do not want any stark whites in this first project, so if you were not present at the meeting but do intend to participate in this project and turn in fabric next month, please bring a beige or cream instead of a bright white. 

New colors and yardages will be added as months go on to add more color variety to our projects.

Show and Tell; Pat Y. brought beautiful origami pieces that she has been working on, and everyone liked them so much that it was decided that she will be demonstrating her technique for next month's program. It is undecided whether this will be just a demonstration or a workshop, so please watch your inboxes for information on whether you need to bring your sewing supplies or not. 

I just wanted to thank everyone who was helped our guild out in 2016; those who held an office, volunteers who generously offered their time, everyone. Thank you for making everything happen this year. We wouldn't exist without you.
