Meeting Notes from our 1/19/15 Modern Quilting Guild Meeting

Dianne Brisson took the pictures; I have the notes. It was a light meeting even though there were about 12 or 13 or us there.

* Karen did the treasury report
* Intro 2 new members
* All the charity blocks present were given to Lynn who will begin to assemble them. She IS looking to see if anyone who didn’t attend the meeting has blocks at home. If either Donna or Mary could send an email to the membership finding out if any are still outstanding she would appreciate that. Lynn showed the new members the idea behind the blocks we made in November
* Some people – three to be exact - had calendar blocks- Bird in Winter - we showed them.
* Show and tell- several show and tells –Dianne has pix

In discussion of group some of us remembered discussion to bring a photo that inspires us for January (none of us did) so we are pushing that to February- so that should go in the February reminder.

Also, some of us remembered something about bringing 100 Modern Quilt Blocks book (although no one could remember why!!)
Maybe it was bring a favorite book? Anyway, only I brought a book- so maybe we can discuss in Feb as well – if any of you can remember why!

That’s it for this month!
