July Meeting

Let's see what’s in store for our meeting on Thursday, July 13th at 6pm Karen McTavish’s Quilt Studio.
​
Labeling Your Quilt
We all have quilts that we've been meaning to label "someday." Well, someday has arrived! Grab your quilt and hand sewing supplies (and finger presser) for the guild meeting this week.
We will begin by watching some video segments which speak to various ways you can label your quilt. Then we will spend some time creating our own individual labels and sewing them on the quilts we have brought. The guild will provide a basic 3x4 inch white/off-white label for each person in attendance and demonstrate the stitching technique.
​
Guild Member Input
We would like your input on two items this month. For those of you who cannot attend a survey will be sent out via email after the meeting.

• 2018 National Speaker/Teacher: We’ve done some research on costs to bring in a nationally renowned modern quilt speaker/teacher and would like to share that information with you and gather your input.
• MQG Quiltcon Charity Quilt: It’s that time of year again where the MQG has published the theme and guidelines for the 2018 Quiltcon Charity Quilt Guild Challenge. The theme this year is “Modern Traditionalism”. We’d like to share that information with you and gather your input.
