Refreshments Bernie advised for our December
meeting we will be having a cookie exchange. Bring a dozen cookies for sampling
at the meeting and a dozen cookies for exchanging. This way we can sample AND
gather a few different cookies to take home. Please write your recipe out so we
can all have the recipe for our favorite cookies shared. Since our next two
meetings involve everyone bringing food, our refreshment list will commence
again in January and she’ll be in touch with whoever’s turn it is at that time.
Old Business:
The guild election and changing the by laws was discussed
again, it was brought up by Helen that maybe the by-laws should be changed to
read that the term for elected board members be two years, there was a
discussion about changing the by laws. Doreen explained how changing the by
laws is handled. It was decided that changing the by laws wasn’t necessary and
Donna F made a motion that the serving board members service term be
extended and they all serve for the year 2015. The motion was seconded by Inge
and carried by the attending members.
Doreen went over some details for the upcoming quilt
retreat.
New Business: The November meeting will begin at 6:00pm, it is our annual
Thanksgiving covered dish dinner. Please bring a dish to share. There was a
list circulated at the meeting to sign up to share something and it was agreed
that the guild will provide the paper products needed.
Next meetings notes: Bring
your charity quilts, a covered dish to share and a holiday themed fat quarter
for an exchange at 6:00pm!!
The meeting program was Self Portraits. Gail talked about
self portrait quilts and how they can be interpreted, she had a few examples of
different small quilt self portraits. A few members made self portraits to
share too. It was quite a few different techniques explored and explained. Show
N tell was phenomenal and inspiring as usual.
Respectfully submitted,
