Sew n Tell minutes October 28, 2010


We attended out first meeting in our new home! We can have the room set up to our liking. After several meetings we might know what that is.
There are 8 TV’s around the room which will be used during Quilter’s Day Out. We will be able to use the other room during QDO too. The in house cook (Linda) will provide the food. She is also preparing our Christmas dinner. Date to be announced. $10 per person, however, the guild treasury will pay $5 (1/2) of the charge.

Visitors were introduced

The first QDO board meeting is to be held Nov. 2nd. Lisa T will be sending minutes pertaining to QDO.

Carol asked for volunteers to help Michael B with the quilt rack construction for QDO.

Lisa asked that we all thank Carol for finding us a new home. She visited lots of people and places. From the information Lisa shared, some not so nice!

Our rent is free, however, we have to make one king size hand quilted quilt per year for the Shriner’s to raffle with proceeds going to their hospital charities. Carol had 4 quilt patterns and asked each of us to choose our favorite for the group to make for the raffle.
Jeannie K has opened her home to the quilting process once the quilt top is put together. We will likely form a day group and an evening group. Details at a later date.

QDO is March 19, 2010 (10 am to 3 pm)
