We had a wonderful, relaxed meeting in our July meeting. Things we went over were:
Raffle proceeds to date: Proceeds from sales at Karen McTavish quilt shop, Hannah Johnson's Quilt Shop and other sales venues were shared. All tickets and proceeds must be in by the August meeting. In the August meeting we will do the drawing and give a final update on proceeds. ALL TICKETS AND FUNDS MUST BE RETURNED BY THE AUGUST MEETING. This is a LEGAL requirement. If you can't return the tickets and/or funds in the August meeting, please contact Claudia L.
Quiltcon 2019 Charity Quilt: Information was shared regarding the quilt block kits members can take home to complete. Information was also shared regarding sew days. The Sew Days will be posted on the calendar on the LSMQG website. The calendar can be found here Our next sew day is July 25th at Harrison Community Center. Start time is scheduled for 5:00 PM. Our goal is to have the quilt completed by November 30th so we can enter it into the judged portion of Quiltcon.
Improv Tutorial: Alane demonstrated a stitch and flip technique for adding wonky triangles to a corner of a 2 1/2 inch square of fabric.
