Meeting Tonight (4/25)

Hello Members!

There is a meeting tonight at 6:30pm at Maker Works.  If you want to participate in the swap, bring a hand-made, sewn item that reflects the theme "Frank Lloyd Wright."  Also, Maker Works has asked us to showcase our guild on one of their bulletin boards.  If you are able, please bring some pictures of your quilts or of you quilting!  I will bring what I can to the meeting tonight.

Looking forward to catching up!

Meeting Minutes from 3/28/12

Next Meeting: Wednesday, April 25th - 6:30pm Meeting at Maker Works
Next Sew-In: **SATURDAY**, April 7th 12-4 at Maker Works

What to bring for the next meeting: The Yankee Swap for the April 25th meeting is on the theme of "Frank Lloyd Wright"--use some fabric and your imagination to make a little something for our exchange! 

We welcomed two new members: Karen and Nancy!

There was a discussion about possible dates for the upcoming sewing retreat, as the last weekend of June was not available.  We discussed cooking for ourselves (potluck style) and Brenda is going to confirm that the venue has air conditioning.  

We agreed as a guild to volunteer to construct a charity quilt out of the extra blocks made for the QuiltCon Block Challenge.

We discussed selling as a guild at craft shows this summer: potentially the Artisan Market in Kerrytown? 

Also - here is the link to the double binding tutorial I used for my Tangerine Tango quilt. 

Hope to see everyone at the sew-in!  I am planning on coming, although I will most likely be there late.

Lynn on 100 Days of Quilting!

Congratulations to Lynn whose beautiful Zinnias quilt is featured on the Modern Quilt Guild's 100 Days of Quilting Feature!

Weekly Round-Up

It was lovely seeing many of you at the most recent Guild Meeting!  I will post meeting minutes this week, but just a heads up - our next Sew-In is going to be on Saturday, April 7th from 12-4pm at Maker Works.   We moved it to Saturday because of the Easter holiday on Sunday (Maker Works will be closed).

Let's see what everyone's been up to!


Emily's made this lovely postage stamp quilt:
