Martha Minutes by Martha E.

It was great to get back to the group this am! We had a good meeting with quite a few decisions made about the show.....July 2 (1-7pm) and 3 (10am-4pm), 2010, at the North Head Baptist Vestry. At the start of our planning meeting, Pastor Ford extended his thanks to us for our using the vestry, and of course, we returned the thanks. It is wonderful to have such a great venue to meet in every week. As I recall, Wendy F. suggested it way back in the fall of 2007, and we've be so fortunate to be able to use it!

Feb. 18, 2010       Meeting Summary by Martha E.

     Great to see such serious quilters and knitters out today at our meeting. (Thanks to Gladys for the Feb. birthday cake!) It is fascinating to see all the different 16-patch/pinwheels coming together, and to see how everyone's piecing skills are improving! Attached are some photos from today. Next week should be even better!
     Again I would like to encourage anyone interested in attending the Gathering of the Guilds in Sussex at the Fairway Motel April 23-25. It is a really good time, and no requilrements for quilting prowess are necessary. In fact, new quilters would really find some motivation by seeing all the show and tell from other guilds. If you are interested in going, please email me for details, costs,etc.

Beautiful birthday cake by Gladys.

16-patch update

Hope everyone has had some time to work on their 16-patch/Pinwheel quilt! We'll be talking about arranging blocks, colour and value, and perhaps even experimenting with some different block arrangements on Thursday. Will also give some tips on sewing the rows and columns together to make the completed top.

I think next week, Feb. 25, we should dedicate an hour or so to planning for our July Quilt Show. We really have to get down to business and determine some areas of responsibility for the show....e.g.: set up of frames/quilts/Sunday School rooms, call for entries, work schedules, food, tickets, and of course our own raffle quilt, which is still sitting in my sewing room. I'm sure I have forgotten some other aspects which we should be thinking about as well. I will contact the KV Guild before Thurs. to inquire about renting their frames again.
