June meeting recap

We covered a lot of ground at the June meeting. Here is a brief recap, with updates to come.

ELECTIONS

We unanimously elected board members for the 2014-15 term. The officers are Melanie Tuazon, President, Stella Singleton, VP, Jessica Fabula, Treasurer, Amy Rehbein, Secretary, and Daniela DiIorio, Program Director.

MUG RUG SWAP

Members made and swapped some drop dead gorgeous mug rugs! They were so awesome they’ll get their own post.

RETREAT INFORMATION

Diane spoke for a moment about our retreat at Crossroads November 12-16. Email her at njquilter at optonline.net with any questions or to sign up.

GUILD DONATION IN PEGGY KELLEHER’S NAME

Judy V. read a thank you note from Peggy’s family about the donation the guild made in her name to the hospice that took such good care of her. Thank you to all who gave and shared memories of her.

MICHAEL MILLER CHALLENGE

A reminder — the Michael Miller fabric challenge deadline has been extended to July 24! There will be posts about how to submit your quilted object on the blog very soon. We can’t wait to see what everyone did with the fabric.

NEXT MEETING

Very important! Our next meeting will be on Saturday, July 12 at the Church of Latter Day Saints in Caldwell from 12-4. 209 Mountain Ave. This will be a sewing meeting, so bring your machine and an extension cord.

SHOW AND TELL PHOTOS

Special thanks to Tracy for taking photos in Ashley’s absence.

Hi everyone!

It feels like ages since our last guild meeting, so come on down to Rock Paper Scissors at 7pm on May 15th and join us for the three F’s: fun, friends and of course, fabric

Here’s what we have planned:

An update on the Michael Miller MQG challenge
Information on elections in June
Upcoming events like Quilters Take Manhattan, Garden State Social, and the Warwick Quilt Show
A June swap based on the Pantone color of the year: Radiant Orchid
Everyone’s favorite: Show and Tell

We’ll also be taking a collection for the hospice in honor of our former VP, Peggy Kelleher to donate as a gift from the guild. Judy Veltidi will be collecting whatever donation you would like to give. She will be at the meeting and can answer any questions you might have but if you would like to reach her before Thursday, she can be contacted at motherfrog <at> hotmail <dot> com.

Bring a chair and your name tag, and we’ll see you on Thursday!
