Heart of Dixie Quilt Guild Meeting Notes – Oct 13, 2013

·         Treasurer’s report: the deposit for the retreat was sent to Sunset Inn.

·         Ginny will bring October’s installment of birdhouses and birds to the Nov meeting.

·         Mary Ann distributed the next chapter of the mystery quilt project.

·         Retreat notes: only a few more weeks!  For those attending the retreat, bring a 2.5” WOF strip of tone on tone background (neutral) fabric for each of the 13 attendees + a $1 – $2 gift (optional).  Linda will lead a project Friday night- the kit is $8 for those interested in participating.

·         As many have already heard, Heart to Heart quilt shop is closing.  All materials, notions, and supplies are on sale.

·         The Alphabet Soup baby quilt challenge brought in 6 finished quilts plus three tops.  We also collected another 15 quilts from Melisa and Marian.  Thanks to everyone who has donated a quilt!

·         Diana taught a new method of making t-shirt quilts.  This method uses only the focus areas of a t-shirt, which are then machine appliqued onto a base quilt.

·         Next meeting: Nov 11.  Retreat: Nov 14-17.
