The
meeting was called to order by President Eileen Van Dyk. The secretary’s report and Treasurer’s report
were presented and accepted.
Committee Reports
Raffle Quilt - is at Jean Potter’s waiting to be quilted. The dates for the Quilt Show will be
September 22-September 23. The dates had
to be changed due to a conflict with WITC’s schedule.
The
name for the show is “Good Times with Quilting”
Sandy
will get copies of fliers, raffle tickets to the Quilt Committee. She has also graciously volunteered to handle
the vendors.
Caring Quilts – Two big quilts were tied and binding is needed on
them. With the demonstration on how to
apply binding we all have updated skills.
Feel free to grab a quilt to bind.
There is a family, by Pine Lake, that has had a house fire. We will be giving them a quilt.
The
purple squares from Farm & Home were also worked on. This quilt should be finished and ready to be
tied in November. Watch for an e-mail
with a date.
Retreat Committee – Our retreat at Oak Forest will be January 12, 13, 14. The cost is $102. We may be able to add 1/11/18 if they do not
receive a registration. No lunch would
be served on January 11th.
The additional day will cost $40.
We will know by the December meeting if this is possible. They will determine where to place us by the
number of quilters attending.
Challenge Committee – Reminder that the challenge is due next month….get
working girls J
The by-law changes were discussed with changes being that we elect 4
officers for a one-year term, the calendar year will be reflected by the
regular calendar. Other smaller language items which were talked about at past
meetings were also read. The motion to
accept these By-Law changes passed.
Officer Elections - Eileen
volunteered to continue as President, Jodee volunteered to continue one more
year as Secretary and Bridget also will continue another term. Barb Rogers was elected to President Elect
(with help from Linda Andert) We appreciate all they have done and will
continue to do. (Awesome!!)
We
reviewed the survey we put together regarding things we would like to see the
Quilt Guild do. Some of things have been
accomplished. Other things still need to
be worked on. The opinion was that the
Guild has turned around and is headed in the right direction.
Farm Girl projects - Judy, Patsy, Barb, Lori and Linda had completed
their 4 blocks for the Farm Girl Quilt.
Linda won playing cards and thread for the drawing. Patsy and Betty Schmidt completed their 4
blocks for the Miscellaneous Farm Girl project.
Betty won the drawing and received a pattern.
Demonstrations – Meg Tryba show how to apply a Faux Piping Binding. She will be e-mailing instructions for review soon.
Jean
Krumm showed us how she machine stiches her binding on. Her secret…..ironing and stitching in the
ditch consistently. Who knew. Thanks
ladies for the learning moments J
