March
meeting activity—We will be making get well cards during the March meeting

share. Blank cards will be provided.

gray. Sarah and Nancy will explore
making a banner through two different ways of printing the logo on fabric and
report back to us in March.

TCQG
Trunk Show—March 14th 7 pm Lifelong—The quilts don’t have to be
finished, or totally even totally modern. We need a lot of examples, NOTE: BRING QUILTS TO THE MARCH MEETING! SEND PHOTOS TO PAT MERKLE BY THE MARCH

Name
Tags—Members talked about how their name tags were composed. New members (as well as “some” old members
who shall remain nameless!) are invited to make nametags of their own to wear
to meetings.
2.
Question
of the Month—We begin each meeting with a question about some aspect of quilting. Please suggest questions you’d like to ask to
Kim.
3.
The
Draft Calendar—The officers came up with three new monthly activities for
the guild meetings. Each of these
requires volunteers, and many signed up (Thanks!) Kim will hand out the Revised Calendar at the
March meeting so others can sign up for the empty slots.
a.
Demo
101 and sign-up—Demo 101 is a chance for folks who have learned a brand new
technique to share their experiences with the guild.
b.
Tool
of the Month and sign-up—Each month one member will bring in a quilting
tool she finds particularly useful and talk briefly about why she loves this
tool.
c.
Transforming
Tradition—This new activity is focused on bringing in an unfinished
traditional project so the guild members can brainstorm about how to make it
more modern. Pat made a fabulous handout that lists
some of the qualities that distinguish Modern quilts from Traditional or Art
quilts. Everyone got a color copy of
this for reference. There are extras for
those who could not attend the February meeting. Two people a month sign up to
bring something in. In December, you
bring the finished product in.
4.
Made

guild challenge.
