Meeting Adjourned M- Means motion, discussion and vote

Program UFO Challenge is due this month. If you have completed a UFO for this

month, please see me for a ballet. Did anyone do a half square triangle Quilt

or table runner from last month. Please see me for a ballet, you may win a

prize.

Tip of the month. I will try to give a new tip each month and if you have any

to share please let me know. This month it is back stitching your borders or

stay stitch around 1/4 inch if it is pieced. This will prevent the borders from

coming unstitched when quilting. Just like sewing on a button, you make a

knot to keep it in place.

Tonight we will see different ways to put blocks together, (see hand out

sheet.) You do not have to follow the pattern because another layout might

look better. Remember how many ways a Log Cabin Quilt can be arranged.

Thanks Janet M

Library Report

Hello All,

At the November meeting I introduced nine new books for the library! They

are as follows,100 Modern Quilt Blocks by Tula Pink, Jelly Roll Bargello Quilts by Karen Hellaby, Kaffe Fassetts Quilts in Ireland, Kaffe Fassetts Quilts in Morocco, Merry Makers by Lissa Alexander, Animal Quilts by

Juliet van de Heyden, Silk Ribbon Embroidery by Di van Neikerk, Modern Quilt Blocks by Emily Dennis and a new pattern called Pickin Pumpkins.

I hope every one gets a chance to enjoy the new books and be inspired for a

future project!

Last month 11 books were overdue and 17 were signed out. Remember with

the new books try not to keep them too long so we all get a chance to see

them.

Currently I have three new patterns on order and I am sorting through some

patterns that Shirley Dunphy generously donated to our guild.

See you in December ,Merry Christmas!

Ann Grant

Community Quilts We had some generous donations of quilts at our last meeting. We have not had

I have been doing a lot of machine quilting as of late. I found these new

cheater (self-threading) needles. My old ones have a slit in the top of the

needle and it would sometimes (OK, a lot of the time) shred my thread.

These work like a dream. Hide them knots!!

January 7th is our next meeting at 7 pm (NOT the FIRST MONDAY OF

MONTH)
