January 2018 Meeting Recap

Business Review

Yearly dues are due as soon as possible; pay through PayPal or at the next meeting.

Our sew day format has changed. Sew days will be held during the even months this year, except for December, on the third Saturdays. Check the meetings and sew days page for the actual dates. The location will be changing just about every time, so check your email or Instagram for the location.

The QuiltCon quilt is being quilted by Upstairs Birdie, and will need to arrive in Pasadena by February ninth. We should be able to display our quilt at the Willamette Valley Quilt Festival table and still have time to send it off.

We will have a table for recruitment and informational purposes at the Willamette Valley Quilt Festival on February 2-3 from 10-5. Quilts can be submitted until the 27th for display or to be judged in the show. Check the website for details.

Meeting Discussion

Goals for sewing in the new year were discussed. There was a common refrain of sewing more for ourselves, as well as experimenting with new techniques. Accountability for UFO completion was another topic that interested more than a few people. Stay tuned for more ideas on that!
