We successfully filled two positions:

Those wishing to participate in the Riley Blake challenge obtained their fabrics.  We will do our own guild retreat following the same guidelines (see below).  For our guild contest, submissions should be brought to the January meeting.

• Guidelines: Item must be a completed, quilted object.  It needs to only use Riley Blake patterned fabrics and whichever solid fabrics you prefer.  
• MQG blog post about the challenge HERE.

Some of our guild members worked on a secret quilt!  Rossie was given her wedding present at the meeting:

We discussed having some speakers come to our guild next year.  Sherri Lynn Wood has expressed an interest in teaching a class for our guild in November 2014!

Member Spotlight - Emily was spotlit! Next month we will learn about Amy S!

Skill School - Ginia taught everyone how to create nice, sharp 45degree corners on your quilt binding, and then did an awesome lesson on mitered corners for quilt piecing! It was a very clever lesson, making Y seams seem a lot more approachable! Next month Brenda will do a presentation on upcoming fabric releases and trends. 

 

Swap: A yankee swap for Favorite Tools was conducted! Next month we will do a mug rug swap. More details at the top of the post.
