PROJECT:
Brown bag project starts, bags going out at
this meeting. Next month when block is returned it will go out 3 times
for
boarders. Make sure the bags get picked up & returned for the
full 3
times/months. Any block OK but no larger than an 18 inch square.
Members had a
discussion on the block of the month participation & on the six
inch
squares & fat quarters. Participation has decreased on all of
them. Some
members have complaints that they don’t like to do the fabric swap
because they
often don’t get good quality fabric in return. All fabric needs to be
100%
cotton & good quality. After discussion & voting it was
decided to
continue to do the Blocks of the Month but give them to Charity for the
Charity
Quilts. Anyone who wants to do the six inch blocks & fat
quarters can bring
them in for exchange. New members want the opportunity to participate
in this.
OLD
BUSINESS: Guild still needs a member for Co-Program chair to work with
Sherry
so they will be ready to do the Programs for next year. Charlotte Duke
volunteered to fill this position.

& picked
up on the same day.

Theme
for March is “Welcome Spring”.
Hope
everyone makes a block!!!
This
is your chance to step outside what you
might normally do and try something new.
Sometimes blocks may seem challenging, but
it’s good to learn something
new. Trying new
blocks will build your
confidence to make more challenging blocks and quilts.
Reminder: If
you’re participating in the “Brown Bag” project, the bags and
guidelines were
passed out at the February meeting.
At
the March meeting you need to turn in your brown bags with blocks.
If you
have checked out Library Books, please
remember to bring them back!!!!!!
Note:
Prints of Peace is now open
again for business. The
location has
changed to the corner of Jefferson & Main in Anderson.
There is parking on all four sides of the
building. Enter at
the Main
Street door.
