Announcements
Penny—Her brother is an Episcopalian priest in the Baton Rouge area. Many people have lost everything in the flood. Over 200 families are eligible and in need of assistance. The group decided to gather as many new or “almost” new to send to these families to be re-homed. Karen and Julie volunteered to long arm quilt some of the quilt tops. Dianne will receive the quilts and hold them until they can be packaged and mailed to Baton Rouge. Wanda has boxes that we can use for shipping and it was also suggested that we vacuum pack the quilts before shipping. We plan to pay for the postage out of our guilds funds.
Arleen talked about the 100 block challenge on Instagram. She has about 50 blocks done. Says she is getting better at ¼” seams and cutting! And on top of that she will have a beautiful quilt when she’s done! Go Arleen!
Mary will post the links for Modern Quilting show and tell.
