-Announcements noted that the Trillium Craft Show would take
place November 15th and 16th and the Philomath Frolic
craft show will be November 2nd and 3rd.
Program reminded everyone that next month will be time to
share this year’s Challenge quilts, purchase fabric for next year and remember
that the person with the best story wins a prize. Remember that there is still time to visit a
number of venues for Quilt County. In
November the guild will have a service night and silent auction opportunity.
Our Library chairperson introduced the latest books and is
interested in receiving any new suggestions for books.
Our newsletter chair would like all articles for the next
publication to be submitted by the end of October because of the fast
approaching holidays.
At the October meeting there will be the drawing for this
year’s raffle quilt so members have one last chance to purchase tickets or
persuade others to purchase tickets.
Quilts in the Garden have set July 26, 2014 as the date for
this event.
Round Robin is encouraging participants to bring their
quilts to the November meeting for show and tell plus members are invited to
begin signing up for next year.
Santiam Scrappers Show is September 28th at the
Senior Center in Lebanon (80 Tangent Street).
The potholder committee reported that fourteen persons
produced 111 items this year with 75 being sold at the museum store which
provided about $263 for the guild. Other
venues also had sales so this was a successful effort and can continue to be
with members being able to purchase item at our next meeting. The three top producers were Phyllis Pearson,
Debbie Garvin and Flo Calhoun. Thank you
ladies.
Secret Sisters will have a harvest fest theme in October;
try out the new Eats and Treats in November and end the year with a Christmas
party. Please consider joining the group
and sign up for next year’s fun events.
Block of the Month had the drawing for this month’s blocks
and suggested that one might use the block of the month for the October
Challenge program so that it isn’t daunting at all to participate in either
program.
Permission 2 Play thanked those who made donations to the
program.
Hospitality reminded everyone that nametags are important
and the prizes exciting. Shirley K. won
fat quarters and Jan T. a gift certificate for having their nametags.
The final announcement:
the International Quilt Show held
in Long Beach historically will be changing locations and as of July, 2014 will
be held in Portland.
Beth adjourned the meeting.
