for pattern. Check made out to instructor
Jill Monley (due to Harriet by April guild meeting).
April program will feature
Nancy Bryant discussing color harmony for quilts.
Quilt County: Marcia says
it is coming together. Asking for people
to organize a show, however, there are some shows that you can just enter in
(Scout Lodge – entry fee; Library in Corvallis – two color quilts; Fitness over
50 – just need to be a member; JLC -
bobbin bird quilts – see Lou at JLC)
Many shows are just quilt groups showing quilts. Ideas are challenge quilts, round robins, all
it takes is for someone to be the organizer of the show (responsibilities are
hanging the show, making labels, working with the venue).
Auction will end 5 minutes after meeting due to the business
meeting taking place in the second half of the meeting. Auction this month benefits the scholarship
fund.
Challenge: Judy says
there are still packets available. Many
ties to search through to augment your project.
Marketing: Jo passed
around clipboards for signups to sell raffle tickets at JLC during Safari (end
of April, beg of May) and for Sisters in July.
Pep talk about how to sell tickets.
Two days at Fitness over 50 and sold 250 tickets! We have sold $100 in tickets by packets sold
by members.
Round Robin: Cindy
discussed 2nd round. You can
follow the progress on the blog. Next
round begins in April.
BOM: Late blocks
arrived from last month taking the total to 13, so a $10 gift certificate was
put in the bucket for February. This
month there were 14. For every 12 blocks
submitted in the month, a gift certificate will be put in the bucket for a
drawing at the end of the year. The winner
in the drawing at the end of the year will win all the gift certificates. Play with your blocks and improvise. If you don’t want to win the BOM of the
month, you can put your name in the big drawing for each block you hand in.
