June Officers Meeting

5/28/2017

 
Only 2 officers met this month, but we covered a lot. 
There need to be more trials with the cheap rotary blades before we order in bulk.
We have a PO Box at 645 Wynn Dr NW in Huntsville, but we need to verify the zip code for its address.
Programming schedule is a work in progress.
We put off discussion of a QuiltCon presentation until the next meeting.
Challenges are also works in progress.
Demos for meetings were scheduled:  June, Reverse Appliqué (Trina); July, Cutting Tools (Lisa); August, Accurate Seams (Amanda); and sometime, maybe, Accuquilt (Saleemah).
Word is out to the two Athens quilt guilds and the Madison guild about our retreat at Red Rooster in March.  We’ll see if we get any interest.
Amanda is planning a survey for our members to find out what interest, if any, we have in a variety of items/activities for the retreat.  It may involve an increase in the cost of attending the retreat.

May 2017 Meeting

5/9/2017

 
When Amanda called the meeting to order there were 10 people present in Room A/B of the HMCPL.  We will be meeting here for 6 months.
She reviewed the highlights of the Officers’ Meeting.  Our retreat is scheduled for March 16, 17, and 18, 2018 at Red Rooster.
Lisa gave the financial report.
We have a PO Box:  #11342, Huntsville, AL 35814, near Research Park.
There were 5 Show and Tells.
The Nametag (7 entries) and Color (3 entries) Challenges were revealed tonight.  Drawings from participants produced winners, who got prizes. 
The June, July and August events were reviewed:  Sewing Saturdays June 3, July 1 and Aug 5 at the Bailey Cove Library from 9 AM to 5 PM.
The Make-It-Modern Challenge was issued; we will take a traditional pattern (handed out tonight) and make it modern.  We will make a mini or a mug rug, which is due in August.
Upcoming quilt shows and conferences were reviewed.  QuiltCon 2019 will be in Nashville, and we agreed to pursue presentation of our “What is Modern Quilting?” there.  Lisa produced and presented an excellent overview of features that may make a quilt modern.  She had pictures of quilts to show us that exemplified each feature.  And she had a handout.  Very interesting and thorough.
We presented the surprise group-made quilt to Diane for her husband.  See pictures elsewhere on line…it was gorgeous, and she was most pleased and grateful.
