The Barn in Mariemont
President Abby Graham
presiding
As we kick off 2017,
a year sure to be filled with many colorful and inspiring modern quilts, we
must thank Janine and Ellen (co-presidents of the guild in 2016) for their hard
work and dedication to our guild! Thank you to all past Board Members! You are
appreciated.
February Meeting
Challenge!
Your challenge for
the February meeting, should you chose to accept it, is to make a quilty
inspired name tag. If you wear it to the February meeting, you will receive a
raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize! Good luck ladies!
Guild News
We started this meeting off socializing and
visiting. It was decided that we should try out round table seating as this may
provide a more inclusive atmosphere and encourage conversation.
Treasurer,
Christine Doyle, collected guild dues during this meeting. If you were not
present and wish to become or remain a member, please contact Christine to
arrange payment.
In
order to better keep track of the number of people attending each meeting as
well as visitors, Carol Calkins (member at large) will help utilize sign-in
sheets that will be present at each meeting. We also encourage members to wear
name tags at each meeting.
Quilt
Con is fast approaching and several members of our guild will be in attendance.
QuiltCon is from February 23-26 and will take place in Savannah, Georgia.
There
will be a sew-in at The Barn on January 21st from 1-4. We hope that you
can make it!
The QuiltCon charity
quilt is now complete, and it looks fabulous! It has been named “Cincinnati
Stars” and uses the Ohio Star block. Check out the gorgeous quilting below!
Show and Tell:

Abby decides.
