Cape Fear Modern Quilting Guild minutes Oct 19, 2016

Lorelei welcomed everyone.

1 new member: Claire Malczyn—Welcome

Ann did the member spotlight showing many lovely family antique quilts and some that are almost done (except for the binding!)  She also showed us examples of some beautiful costuming she has done.  Thank you Ann.

Our challenge blocks showed us that we needed additional guidelines.  Arleen won the 13 blocks that were submitted.  Holy Scrap Bee has offered to help with the quilt.  If you have any of your blue strip left over, please give it to a Holy Scrap member as soon as possible. Pictures are on our FB page.

New Parameters for the continuing Modern Quilt Square Challenge

• Use the provided strip (Green for November)
• Add a neutral (Solid black for November)
• These 2 colors should constitute 50% of your block
• Use any other fabric for the remainder of the block
• Please trim to 12 ½”

Kindness Quilt:  We have decided to include Pender County to Louisiana on our Kindness Quilts Donation due to the recent flooding here in North Carolina.
Wanda brought bags and boxes.  So far we have 4 quilts, 1 each from Lois and Mary, and 2 from Donna.  Bring any completed quilts in November.

Show and tell:  Joyce brought her color crayon challenge quilt.  It was lovely.
Mary showed her original design Quilters by the Sea challenge and talked about her creative process.   Pictures are on our FB page.

Our November meeting is a sew-in.  Bring your own quilt to construct or you can participate in the quilt Molly and Babs have chosen for us.  Either way, bring your sewing machine, neutral thread and other supplies that you may need.

Lunch at Mission Barbeque was fun.  Always good to continue the conversation!
