Dawn here giving a synopsis of the meeting, to the best of my memory.
It sure was good to see you all again after being absent for a while.
It was a fun meeting, with Beverly B as our chair, doing a wonderful job of keeping us in line & on track.
Discussion of participating in a Mystery Quilt program this year. Rhonda presented an option that she could access & run for $100 total cost. Debbie M presented an online option that she came across that would cost $25 per participant.
The group decided to go with Rhonda's option, with the guild paying the $100 cost.
This will commence in February.
I brought the finished & unfinished charity quilts that were given to us by Janice C.
Some of the finished quilts had already been given to Pins & Needles Quilt shop to donate to families of the tragic school bus accident, & one may have gone to a Gatlinburg family that lost their home in the recent fires there.
The remaining quilts were planned to be given to an abused women's shelter, but as this was not needed urgently, the group voted that they go to local victims of the recent tornado.
The unfinished quilts were made available for members to take home & complete. They include beautifully pieced tops, backs, binding & backing. A few were taken at this meeting, & the remaining will be made available at future meetings for members to complete. The majority of these are for Ronald McDonald House.
What a neat program our ladies presented this month. Thank you Cee Cee, Vicky & Beverly B. The program was a bed turning. Cee Cee gave us a laugh as we went through her happy quilts, showing us her progression of piecing skills. Vicky also showed us some of her older work to more recent beautiful offerings. Beverly is a lover & collector of old quilts & showed us some of her interesting buys from estate sales & markets.
Show & tell is always a treat, but unfortunately I don't have many photos for you, as I hadn't planned on doing the blog.
Thank you to the ladies for providing wonderful refreshments.
