Programs: Doreen D. presented the following:
- Round Robin, guild members were encouraged to join this type of activity if we do it in the future. It is challenging and we are learning new techniques and trying different things.
- June 12 meeting we will be playing a game. Members should bring in 15 to 20 2 ½” by WOF (width of fabric, 42”) strips of fabric. These strips can be pieced together to get 42”. They must be RED, WHITE, and/or BLUE. You can combine colors to get the strips. Use whatever you have. If you want to bring in extras that’s okay too.
- Mason Jar blocks are due at the June meeting. At this time, it looks like we’ll have enough blocks to make 3 donation quilts.
- The Round Robin projects were exchanged. We will be putting on the 3rd border and they are due at the meeting on June 12.
- Those who participated in the Mystery Quilt activity should bring them to the June 12 meeting.
