Minutes from our Nov 15th Meeting

Lori called meting to order at 10:05 a.m. at Quilts n Crafts n Things, our new meeting place.
Thank you to Bill and Eileen.

Mary and Donna have withdrawn from the group in order to focus on their art quits.  Thank you for getting the group off the ground and know that you are always welcome to return.

We got 6 Green/black quilt blocks.  Molly was the lucky winner.  No new strips were distributed.

Our December luncheon will be at Sweet and Savory on December 20 at 10 a.m.  Please notify Lorilei before Dec if you will be attending.  The gift exchange will consist of ½ yard of quality quilting fabric wrapped.

Show and Tell

Lois, Arleen and Penny all showed off their most recent creations.  All very lovely.  Arleen’s 100 blocks modern quilt will be extraordinary!

Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt on line:  Quiltville.com for colors and weekly instructions

Quilts for Louisiana and North Carolina

2 more quilts were turned in for LA.  Dianne will package them up for delivery on December 1.  If you have any quilts, new or gently used, know that they will be used by those in need.  Just a note, table toppers or wall hangings or holiday doodads would be a nice gift for someone who has lost everything in a flood.

January 1 is the deadline for collecting quilts for here in North Carolina.  Moly will be the contact person on this project.

Babs is having an open house this Sunday for a friend who is selling Christmas ornaments.  Contract her if you are interested.

Work progressed on the “Kindness” quilt(s) for Louisiana or NC.  (don’t know which).  The quarters were a bit cramped, but we managed.

Looking for a new owner for our Blog and FB page

New Meeting Location

HI All:
You have probably heard that Sew Happins is closing it's doors in December. We are unable to meet there in November and needed to find a new place to meet.

I spoke with Bill Parent and his sister Eileen over at Quilting-n-Crafts-n-Things in Wilmington today. They have graciously opened up their classroom to us...same day, same time- next meeting will be Nov 15th at 10 a.m. in our new location- 1616 Shipyard Avenue, Wilmington.

This will be our new meeting location going forward!

There are even 2 lunch locations in the same strip mall for those that want to do lunch.
This next meeting will be our charity quilt sew- Molly and Babs have it all ready to go. You will need to bring your machine, sewing supplies and gray thread in your machine if you want to sew...OR you can bring your own charity sew project if you have one in the works!

We can use their ironing boards and cutting tables...they do request we use our OWN rotary cutters ....

We have very much enjoyed our time at Sew Happins and wish John and Sarah all the best as they go forward. As for us, we too, have a new experience ahead of us!

Hope you'll join us at our new meeting place! See you then--

Lorelei
