Thanks to everyone who joined us for our August meeting and sew-in. In addition to an inspiring round of show and tell, we covered a
lot of business and looked ahead to our activities through the end of
the year. Here's the rundown:
- Quilts for Pulse: It
looks like the KMQG will have 4 finished quilts to send to the Orlando
guild for distribution (that's a finished quilt top pictured above). A few of our members took the quilts in progress
to work on -- if that's you, please email modknoxville@gmail.com to arrange hand-off to Melissa so that she can ship the finished quilts by Sept 10. If you're quilting but not binding, be sure to allow us time to get the binding completed.
- Next quilt for The Restoration House: It's time to work on blocks for our next donation quilt to The Restoration House. Instructions and a link to a tutorial are located here. Blocks will be due at our November meeting.
- Gracie's Gifts:
We welcomed Cynthia Barreira, founder of Gracie's Gifts, a nonprofit
that provides smocks and swaddling blankets to the NICU at East
Tennessee Children's Hospital. Cynthia told us all about Gracie's Gifts,
and we're excited to support her efforts. We're working out a plan for
the best way for our members to contribute our talents and resources.
We'll have more information on this soon.
- September meeting 9/17:
This will be another sew-in meeting, and we hope to get a start on our
project for the QuiltCon 2017 charity quilt. We'll also play
Left-Right-Center, so bring 3 fat quarters in solid colors if you want
to play along and maybe boost your stash of solids.
- October: No meeting as we will have our annual retreat.
- November meeting 11/19: This will be a sew-in meeting, and blocks for Restoration House will be due.
- December Holiday Party 12/17: Don't miss out on the food, fun, and games! More info to come...
