Layton Quilt Guild: July guild meeting

July 16, 2015 Guild meeting minutes

President Cindy Gerber-Chavez welcomed everyone. Our only visitor was Brenda Sacher’s cute granddaughter Ruby. She reminded everyone to pay the $1 or $2 to the center for letting us meet there every month.

Our Treasurer Lorri Bashien told us we had $1526.96 in savings and $940.78 in checking.

An updated version of the member list was requested so Michelle Stay will make one to be handed out at our next meeting.

Michelle Stay asked about three people that have requested to join our guild Facebook page. Some members know two of them so they will be added to the group.

We discussed some more options to use our guild money. We are going pay Emily Bailey to come teach us, we are looking into having Robin Orchard come teach us. There is interest in holding our own Kim Diehl class. We decided to wait to vote on that idea when more members are present. Cindy Gerber-Chavez is going to contact the Quilter’s Attic to arrange for us to hold a guild meeting at their store. She will get back to us with the details.

Vivian Blotter shared a tip with us to use pinking shears to cut out circles that need to have clipped edges. Then there is no need to clip.

Nickey Greene reminded us our “I heard it on vinyl” challenge is due in October.

Denise Thalman showed us her progress on the Easter row quilt. She asked us to do the bow tie bunny row for next month.

Brenda Sacher has the OTT light for July.

UFO #1 is due next meeting.

Next meeting will be Thursday August 20^th at 1:00pm.

Our sew-in will be Patsy Shelton with a fun interesting project!

A row a month makes this fun Easter quilt manageable. It will truly be a fun quilt to have. The bonus we are not late at getting our Easter project done but on ahead of time. Thanks goes to Denise for inspiring us and helping us be prepared.

Denise is sharing with us one of many quilt made with strips that are beautiful. Everyone enjoyed the lovely quilts.

Denise has been busy and doing a wonderful job on using up her strip and sharing with us patterns from a fun book she found while cleaning up. We should all be so lucky.

Viv has been busy and has finished a work of art. Love the hexies.

Sue has a talent for piecing her strips together and making a fun quilt for a special someone.

Ruth has had a lot of time on her hands, this hexie quilt is a work of art and one that will be treasured for years to come.

Karen shared with us a beautiful quilt with lots of color and a fun one to have in anyone's house.

WOW a lot of work and a lot of pieces and Karen can say her quilt top is done.

A fun quilt by Karen called Red Cross. Job well done,

Everyone is welcome to join us at our guild meeting., husbands and even the very young that don't have a clue what is going on and can't sit still. But had a ball exploring while we met.

Sue has made some darling aprons for her grandchildren, they will be loved for sure.

Michelle showed us how to make neck wraps to keep us cool. What a fun idea now just to find the time to make a few.

While the members enjoyed show and tell they also enjoyed the beautiful sun shine that streamed through the window

Brenda has been busy trying to get a few things made . This fun row quilt took over a year to make but worth the effort once it was done. I especially like the red border that accents the rows.

swim suit or spa robes made from a towel, pattern and class was taken at a 4-H sewing conference. The neighbors will love these. Email me if you are interested in the pattern.
