At 10 am, we will be assembling the QuiltCon Charity Quilt. If you want to help, please bring white thread.

We'll be having a potluck lunch (check your email for an e-vite).

At 1 pm, we will have a short business meeting with show & tell and a...

Destash Sale! 

Have some fabric you'd like to sell? This is the meeting to bring it! Please bring your things already priced and have some cash on hand to make change. You are welcome to bring scrap bundles, old projects, supplies, and fabric. (Before you leave, you must take with you anything that does not sell.) 

Pincushion swap!
Bring a pincushion to the December meeting to participate in this swap. We will put the pincushions in a brown bag to make it a blind swap! Pincushions will be swapped during/after the business meeting which will happen at 1:00 pm.
 
At 3 pm, A & L Sharpening Service LLC will be there to sharpen your scissors and knives. Her price list is here (She will not be able to do serrated knives and garden tools at our meeting.)

November Meeting Recap

Fun news! We will be having an exhibit of our quilts at the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza from September 12-15, 2019. We will be displaying the Inspiration Challenge quilts together as a group. We will also have a section for members’ quilts - we will send more details about how to enter in the spring.

We encourage everyone to think about running for a leadership position in January. You must be a member for a year in January. All positions are open: President, VP Programs, Treasurer, VP Membership, and Social Media. More details on the positions are in our bylaws. 

If you have a technique or approach to quilting you’re passionate about, please consider leading a meeting next year! Let us know if you’re interested. Members who lead meetings get a $25 gift card. 

The name tag challenge winner is Cheryl - congratulations!
