October Business Meeting

Greetings Ladies,

Get your warm clothes out. It looks as though we went from summer to winter. Temperatures change from morning to evening. It's like Forest Gump says, "You never know what you will get in a box of chocolates." Same with the weather here!

The minutes were approved as read.

Treasurer's Report: There was a donation of $100.00 to the RAC in memory/honor of Beverly Norris. The report was approved as read.

We had two guests: Michelle's daughter Amanda was here from New Zealand (probably the farthest ever) and Ina's neighbor, Haley B. We were delighted to have these two ladies and hope to see more of them.

OLD BUSINESS:

Karla F. will be taking over the Sit -N- Sew. There will be no Sit - N- Sew for the remainder of this year.

MQA (already passed) - good showing from PTQ........

Don't forget the Tag Sale for November's meeting - you may only bring items for quilting or related to quilting. Please remember to bring your own change and put prices on everything.

NEW BUSINESS:

The Christmas Party will be on December 7th at Our Savior Lutheran Church on 18th Ave.  We will play Dirty Santa ($20.00 gift). We will also play the "Right, Left" game which will be our homemade gift.

Terri H. (incoming President) would like to meet with new officers.

There was discussion about doing a possible quilting retreat at Circle M Plantation in Macon. This is a beautiful Bed - N - Breakfast. Could be a possible location for Linda Hahn?

DOOR PRIZES: Congratulations Ina and Naomi!!!!!

LUNCH for DECEMBER:

Chili - Gwen (Chicken Chili), Ina (Chili). Tonya(shredded cheese), Michelle (sour cream), Glenna (Fritos), and Barb (dessert)

There was discussion about making additional books for new guild members.

DEMO:

Terry did a demo on drawing a quilt on graph paper. She suggested that we always use 8 squares to an inch (this makes it easy to divide). Terri has a link that we will post to the blog. Drawing your pattern helps with nesting the seams. (Joanne's sells quilter's graph paper)

DOOR PRIZE: Glenna..............congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
