CFMQ Guild - Meeting notes from June 21st

Welcome New Member: Sue & Wanda

Program:  Mary presented a slide show of quilts from the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Quilt show and shared Donna's and her pieces from the workshop that they attended.

Color Challenge:  New members drew their crayons for our color challenge which is due at our Sept meeting.    Some of our members have already completed and shown their completed challenge project at our monthly Show & Tell.   We want everyone to bring their completed project to our Sept meeting (even if you have already shown it) so that we can see them all together.

Round-Robin Challenge:   Dianne brought in her completed RR piece (actually she did 2 of them).   Continue to bring them in and share them at future meetings as you complete them.

Show & Tell:  Pictures of this month's S&T can be found on our FB page => HERE

Upcoming Meetings:   We solicited ideas for future meetings.    Keep those ideas coming.

What's Up at our Next few meetings

• July - Christmas in July:   Please bring a little gift project that you have made or had given to you to share with the group.   We all like to get new and fresh ideas of handmade gift to make for our family and friends.   Completed quilts don't count.
• August - Basting Frame:  Dianne will bring her basting frame.  If you have a quilt that needs to be pin basted, bring your quilt top, batting, backing and basting pins to the meeting and we'll all help you pin it.
• September:  Crayon Table runner/topper challenge are due.   I can't wait to see them.  Make it Modern and only use the 3 colors that you chose + 1 neutral (optional).

Hope to see you at our next meeting.

CFMQ Guild Meeting notes from May 17th

Welcome to new member:  Sue

Magazine subscription "Modern Quilts" - voted to renew subscription for another year.  Lois will renew the magazine for the guild. Thanks Lois.
Magazines about modern quilting will continue to be circulated among members at the meetings. Borrow a magazine for a month and then return it so everyone gets a chance to check out the quilting ideas.

Color Challenge - 3 crayon colors plus a neutral.  Make a home dec. project (ex. table runner, table topper, pillow, etc.) Have fun with the challenge.  We look forward to see your projects in September or sooner when you finish the challenge.
Arleen and Dianne shared their completed challenge projects.

Self Round Robin: bring in completed projects when finished.
