Library Update – After having a meeting with the library representatives, we are back on for displaying quilts. It is still to be decided if we will be using clips or a quilt sleeve. We can begin hanging them on January 6th. Quilts should be no bigger than queen size and no small than about 5’ square. We will be swapping them out every 3 months. Quilts may be sold if you wish with a 20% consignment fee to the library.
Please have a little write up about your quilt with the quilt name, pattern (please attribute copywritten patterns to the author), something about the quilt and the quilters’ information. We hope to put together a flyer of some sort with the info about each quilt and info about our guild.
The library Christmas tree decorated by our guild is up and looks great and it’s on the 3rd floor. Please go by and vote for our tree!
Guild Swap- This is a new thing for next year where we will swap a small quilted item or craft. We will possibly start this in February or March. We will fill out a form in January so bring your ideas.
Charity Quilt Block Update – We are still working on the Rainbow Blocks. We will have a quilt assembly day on March 1st.
Demo – We had sign ups and have 7 of 12 months for next year covered. If you haven’t signed up yet, please see Amanda. Elaine will be doing January’s demo
