The meeting was held at LullCo with 27 people in person and 1 on Zoom.
- MQG Community Outreach Quilt
- Fabric handed out, due in September!
- Programs:
- Rossie is looking into Brandon Wulff class as well as a possible Debbie Grifka class near the beginning of next year
- Bring your Ford Library quilt show quilts to the October meeting!
- Swaps and Challenges:
- This month's swap was a 12-in finished block of member's choice in blue and neutrals. Blocks will go into our charity quilt offerings.
- September will be a Negative Space Challenge (Jess will email with more info)
- October will be a fall block lottery!
- Bring a fat quarter from your stash for a swap in November!
- Charity:
- We had a couple donations for our charity outreach.
- Reminder that Alyssa has offered to bring donations to Univ of Michigan's adult compassion carts. These quilts will be used to support grieving families, often to cover up tubes and such to make the process less scary for family members. The quilts can be any make and generally we are thinking in the lap quilt size.
- Ideas for Ann Arbor Daytime Warming Center
- Retreats
- There will be a local retreat (email going out shortly to members) to be held September 26-27 at Ann Arbor Academy. Members will be able to sew all day and leave their projects overnight to work on the next day. The retreat is planned for about 15 members although we will look at the space during the FPP class and see if we can extend that. We may ask for a $10 fee which will be donated to the Academy as a thank-you for using the space.
- We will still have our overnight retreat at Creative Passions in January (Jan 29-31).
- Member Spotlight
- Kathy K was our member spotlight! Thank you Kathy!
