Meeting this Thursday

MEETING THIS THURSDAY!
Our next meeting is this Thursday, October 17! Can you believe it? That came quick. Remember to bring your chair, nametag and this week, any scraps you may have from the Cloud9 The Land That Never Was Challenge. We’re going to start planning the finished quilt, and every scrap helps. (If you want to keep them, that is fine, but we’ll need scraps, Kona White and Kona Black for the backing.)

The board will also be presenting our recommended dues for 2013, which must be passed by 2/3 of attendees, so this will be an important one.

OPEN SEW
Our first Open Sew was a lot of fun! This is just a reminder that the next one will be held on Thursday evening, November 7 at the Church of Latter Day Saints in North Caldwell.

 

HOLIDAY SWAP

At our December meeting on December 19, we will be having a Secret Santa-style gift swap! The plan is to make a trinket (pin cushion, change purse) or pass on some cute fabric (FQs are perfect gifts for quilters) with a $10-15 limit. We’re going to use an online organizer called Elfster, so keep an eye on your inbox for the invitation. You’ll be able to enter any preferences you have, as well as favorite colors and fabric designers. Sign-up is completely optional and 100% anonymous.

THE MODERN QUILT GUILD NEWSLETTER
The Modern Quilt Guild is launching a new newsletter with membership information and free patterns! Sign up is here. We will have more information about our NJMQG group on the national site soon.
 

Open Sew this Thursday

Our first monthly Open Sew is this Thursday, October 3 at 10AM. We’ll have a guild project (a memory quilt that Stephanie spoke of at the meeting) or you can bring your own work. There is a large table– just bring your machine and any other tools you may need.

Location: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

209 Mountain Ave  North Caldwell, NJ 07006

Please leave a comment if you plan to attend. Hope to see you there!

Edited to add: Next month we will have Open Sew in the evening! Save the date: November 7.

Hi Everyone,
This is a reminder that we have a meeting this Thursday, September 26 at 7PM at Rock Paper Scissors. We have some good news and some upcoming events to announce.

Please bring a chair, a name tag, your “Land That Never Was” challenge block and something quilty for show and tell.

Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to announce at the meeting so that I can put it on the agenda. Please also let me know if you are a member and didn’t get this message as an email.

We’ll see you Thursday!
