November Show & Tell Project Pics

CF Modern Quilting Group Meeting Notes - Nov 17, 2014

We had a brief meeting on Monday before our Charity Quilt Sew-in.

Intro's for new members:  Alice Rainey and Molly Bigelow

Block of the month calendar blocks (no one had one to share this month) - theme was Thanksgiving/Harvest

Show and Tell- several people shared projects they had completed

Idea for Spring: Individual Round Robin for oneself.  Laura will set up and will present in April

Karen Smith showed some quilting done from tutorials on The Inbox Jaunt.  The   web site is: theinboxjaunt.com    host: Lori Kennedy

Idea presented for December meeting to be a holiday luncheon; Suggestion for Sweet and Savory since they could accommodate us at our normal 10a.m. time. Lorelei will look into and Mary will send email to everyone.
Please RSVP as soon as possible.

Charity Sew- Lynn had to be out so Lorelei led.    The pattern was the Disappearing Nine Patch with a modern take.  All initial blocks sewn and cut. About 1/2 put back together; rest taken home to complete. Please bring to January meeting.

I found in my notes from Sept that in Jan we are supposed to bring an inspirational photo. We did NOT mention this at the meeting so we should be sure to bring it up at the Dec. brunch.
