Our next meeting will be held February 25th at

you’d like to participate in the fat quarter swap, bring two fat quarters to
the meeting.
Third Thursday Sewing Night will be at Pink Castle Fabrics
on February 19th at 5pm. Register on the PCF website. Space for ten
people.
Old business:

QuiltCon

There is still hotel space with guild members
and there are still openings for some classes. Talk to Jenna if you still need
to make arrangements

MQG announced that QC will happen every year and
will move each year.

The idea of possibly renting a house/condo in
Savannah, GA in 2017 with other A2MQG members was mentioned.

RJR challenge with Brenda’s fabric line “Pie
Making Day”
o
We will (hopefully!) have the fabric at the
February meeting.

All the spots filled up in an hour. If you’re
still interested in participating, you are allowed to purchase the fabric. See

or Rossie.
New Business:

Swaps for 2015
o
We came up with lots of ideas for swaps to do in
2015. Our definite swaps so far are a fat quarter swap in February, the Pie
Making Day challenge quilts in April, and a Secret Stalker Swap (just like last
year!).
·
Round Robin
o
If you are unable to attend a guild meeting and
you are involved in the round robin, there is now a blue bin at Pink Castle
Fabrics. Ask one of the employees and they’ll lead you to it.
·
Skill School
o
Debbie Grifka asked for some more ideas for
skill school. We should have a lot of really great skill school sessions this
year!
·
Communication with guild members
o
We discussed using either a closed group on
Facebook or the MQG Ann Arbor page in order to more efficiently communicate
with other members.
·
Debbie Grifka gave a wonderful and informative
introductory lesson to using Instagram. Our guild hashtags are #a2mqg and
during retreats, #a2mqgretreat.
·
Ginia won the Crayon Challenge!
·
Kathy Koch and Brenda are sponsoring a challenge
for Laughter and Quilts (@laughterandquilts on Instagram). Consider joining the
quilt-a-long! They are using the hashtag #stormatseaQAL
