Feb 18th CFMQ Guild - Meeting Notes

Cape Fear Modern Quilt Guild
Meeting notes from 2-18-13  by Donna B, secretary

Treasurer’s report: New balance is now $123.83

Business Note:  We are looking for a new VP.  Our VP, Gloria, unfortunately had to resign.  If you are interested in this position, let Kathy know.  According to the bylaws, “in term” resignations can be appointed by the President.

Our CFMQ guild banner is almost done.  We had a discussion at the meeting about what to include on the label:

• Guild established in 2011.
• Banner completed in 2013.
• Design by Lynn S, Lettering by Chris B.
• (add names of guild members who worked on the banner)

Thank you to all the guild members who helped with our banner.

Field trips/sew-away: Thank you Sherry for collecting information about field trip to Spoonflower and fall sew-away.

Spoonflower field trip (Durham) - date is April 22.  We are planning to carpool - one group leaving from Hampstead and the other group from the Brunswick county area.  We will meet up on I-40 at a rest stop. Guild members signed up for the trip and indicated their starting point.  We will talk about this trip again at our March meeting and check for other members who might want to come on the trip.

Sherry also had a hand-out for members about sew-away that she has researched.  The information will be posted on our blog.
