Welcome
Welcome to our 4
visitors, Charlotte C., Mary D., Tammy K., and Elizabeth C., and
new member Colby L. The meeting was opened by President Donna.
The minutes of the last meeting were accepted.
Nominating committee-
It is time to elect
new officers. Do you have ideas of things you’d like to see
happen at, or for, the guild? Do you like it just the way it
is? Volunteer to be an officer and help build the guild into
the group you envision. There is always room for new ideas, or
new old ideas, could you spare the time to help? Cheryl,
Georgia, Drena and Rhonda have agreed to be on the nominating
committee for the new guild officers. Please contact one of
them if you are interested or willing to be an officer.
Programs

Other great projects and
creative ideas came from Marsha, Ella, Emily, Colby, Donna, Barbara,
and Amy. (Hope I didn’t miss anyone).
October- Trick or treat.
UFO project exchange. Do you have a project you don’t see the
beauty in any more, is just too hard, or are just plain tired of
working on? Put it in a bag and bring it to the Oct. meeting for
the “Trick or Treat” swap, but beware (hear the Halloween music
here?) if you bring one, you take one home. Did you get one last
year at the swap, and now know why the 1st owner became
disillusioned? As long as you have advanced the project some, you
can bring it back to trade again. Did you finish the prize you
got? Bring it back to show off. Everyone seemed to have a lot of
fun last year looking at all the projects, so let’s try to make it a
hit again.
(To be fair to other
participants all donations need to be actual projects, not just a
couple of fat quarters and a pattern.)
November- B&T designs,
Barbara McGraw, and Teresa Sherling will talk about Baltimore Album
quilts.
December- Christmas
potluck and ornament exchange.
TAQG-
CHQG will help put on the
2013 TAQG rally. The speaker will be Sue Reich. If you would like
to volunteer to be on the committee representing CHQG in planning
this event, please contact Maryln.

Orphan block charity project- Jeanne has
asked us to bring in our unwanted orphan blocks to make into charity
quilts for older children. Others are invited to help make the
blocks into quilts for donation.
Charity Quilt kits- Batting, thread and
fabric donations for the quilts and kits will always be welcome.
The guild purchased a 60 yd. roll of 80/20 Pellon batting, for
charity projects. It is being stored at Corner Square Quilts. If
you need some for a charity project you can pick it up there.
Raffle
quilt
Thanks to Gloria, Karen
and Kathy for taking the raffle quilt to the Allen quilter’s
reception to sell tickets.
The raffle quilt will be
drawn on Oct. 8, at the Cedar Hill Days celebration. Please bring
all money and raffle tickets not yet turned in, to the Corner Square
Quilt shop before Saturday.
Cookbook-
Karen A. and Julie B. are
collecting recipes to produce a guild cookbook. Each member is
asked to send in 3 recipes. The format for the recipes is attached,
please use this so they don’t have to be re-typed. The guild voted
to collect recipes with the plan that if participation is adequate,
we will again vote to publish the cookbook.
Library:
The new library cart is a
big hit. Thanks Claudia. Now you can access all the guilds library
books during the meetings.

Pizza Box Swap-
We will be starting
another “Pizza Box” swap at the October meeting. For those
participating, don’t forget to bring in your boxes and block
patterns.
Here’s how it works.
Bring in a pizza box, or other small light weight box containing the
pattern for the block you would like other swappers to make for
you. You may also include templates, tools, and fabric if you want
something special used in construction of your block. Each month
you will receive a different swapper’s box to make the block for
them. The next month you will pass that box to the next name on the
list and receive another. If you can’t get it done one month, copy
the pattern and stick an IOU in the box, then add the finished block
to the correct box the next month.
BOM- Scrappy Strip block
