EMQG Meeting Notes 9/10/2014
Presenter: Daisy
Minutes: Missy
Photographer: Shawna/Madyson
Board Elections: Jennifer announced that elections would be held in October since we did not have time in the August Meeting to discuss the positions available due to the rain.
PRESENTATION:
Linda D. talked about labels and the need to label your quilt. One method was using freezer paper with muslin ironed to it and after the content of the label was created on the computer, it was printed using a jet ink printer. Another idea is a handwritten label. Someone also mentioned that Spoonflower is a company that will print your label design onto fabric for you. Things to include on the label: name of block and/or pattern, credit if copyrighted; date quilt made; made by (your name); made for (recipient’s name); pieced by and/
or quilted by; type of material/batting.... (These are just ideas and I’m sure there may be other things that you might want to include...)
BEE: Nelda had some pretty blocks turned in to her this month. Love the orange, yellow, gray combo!
Sept: Nela. She distributed charm blocks in Halloween themed fabric. Wants to receive a 16inch block made of 1⁄2 square triangles.
SWAP: Wall hanging. Many wonderful swap items were exchanged, such creativity!
Oct Swap: Mug rug: holiday or fall theme
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Northwest Quilting Expo is being held Sept 25-27, 2014 at the Portland Expo. Daisy is going on Thursday and has room in her vehicle for up to 3 others.
Pat and Daisy attended the Quilt, Knit, Stitch in Portland and were very inspired. They talked about an event which included showing of 12” square art pieces. Also mentioned SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates), which Daisy has joined.
Missy suggested an idea of our guild having a retreat. She offered to look into possibly securing a Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday at Our Sewing Room, likely in 2015. Daisy also mentioned that she might know of another venue, which may be low cost and potentially available.
