Attendees: Janice B, Carol F, Rachel B, Ros H, Gerry K, Sally A, Mary L, Maxine B, Dianna S, Barbara P, Lisa T, Janet M, Bonita W, Maria O, Julia G, Jeanne K, Anne W, Sandy V, Denise S, Bea C, Sharon K.
Visitors: Lisa G, Jeri C, Pat B, Leslie N and Donna M
Blog information: I have it set on a bookmark but had trouble going to it direct so I could tell you how to pull it up! Carol F provided the following:
Here's what I do. In the "search the web box"....I key in Google.com
THEN when the Google search box comes up...I key in ....Sew 'n' Tell Quilt Guild Blog
It comes right up.
The actual URL is .........sewntellquiltguild.blogspot.com/
I never use this. I do what I just wrote above about searching on Google.
Charity Workshop November 7 - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm – will be held at the church. Bring your machines, supplies and lunch. Anne K will e-mail you before hand with other specifics. Hope to see you there!
Carol thanked Anne K and Suzanne H for hosting Charity Day over this past year. Charity Day will be held quarterly going forward. 2010 dates will be announced.
The subject of nominations of officers was approached and discussions followed.
It was decided (I believe Anne W, 1st and Maria O2nd) the offices of President, Secretary, Treasurer, Program Chair and Historian would hold 2 year terms (current officers term to expire December 31, 2010) and committees will be opened each year for volunteers. Once those committees are formed those individual groups would vote on a chair person. Carol will e-mail you the list of committees prior to our next meeting.
Not part of the discussion but will be discussed at next meeting is when all this might take place. Nominations of officers will take place at October’s meeting and voted on at November’s. December will be the last meeting for the outgoing officer to preside. With regard to the committees, discussions will take place at October’s meeting and finalized in November. The president or secretary will e-mail (prior to the October meeting) the list of committees so you will have time to review and decide which committee you would like to work with or in the case of officers, which office you would like to run for.
Visitors were welcomed and introductions made.
Group activities that members have mentioned are:
Group Shop Hop – Anne W
National Show (attending) – Donna G
Sit and Sew – Jeanne K
Group Swap – Anne W
Quilter’s Day Out - Group to make items for gift baskets and door prizes – Mary L
It will be decided in January 2010 which of these activities to pursue and committees will be formed to implement them.
Quilter’s Day Out is fast approaching – Saturday, March 20, 2010
Anne W has donated one of her Barbie Doll Houses as a door prize;
Bonita W has donated a Quilter’s Basket (large reed basket) as a door prize and Barbara P talked with her employer, Donna Sharp, who has donated 50 small tote bags (for the first 50 quilter’s through the door) and 2 rolling duffle bags for door prizes.
Carol asked that each member provide one item they have made for display during QDO. It does not need to be a full size quilt. Throws, napkins, placemats, wall hangings, etc.
Another vendor has signed on – New Frankfort Mercantile from Austin, IN – See detail at end of minutes re: Craft Fair, Saturday, October 24th.
Janice B suggested compiling a “quick tips” sheet for distribution at QDO.
Carol suggested using our recipes we collected from members as an item for distribution also.
5 year anniversary pins were discussed. Carol passed out two samples. It was voted that Carol would ask Rob K
to design a Sew n Tell logo for the larger pin and guild members would purchase those ($4.00). The small gold pin would be used to indicate the 5 year anniversary (in 5 year increments) and the guild would purchase those pins ($2.00) as a gift to members celebrating a 5 – 10 – etc. anniversary.
Maria and Carol are checking our options to offer QDO pins to QDO attendees. The pin would have the year and could be collected each year similar to the Southern Indiana Shop Hop pins.
After I left the meeting:
It was decided that the activity of the month for November would be that each member bring a Christmas Fat Quarter with winner take all.
YES, the show 'n' tell was amazing. I’m sorry I missed it!
Janice B announced that she will be teaching beginning quilting at Austin's come January. I'm sure she will put out more details later.
Janice told members that Patsy S holds a class at her studio in Sellersburg the second Thursday of each month. Members can request to be on her mailing list by contacting Patsy. If she is out of town on business, she notifies class participants.
