Patoka Valley Quilt Guild met Sept. 5 By Joyce Beck, Secretary The September meeting of the Patoka Valley Quilt Guild was called to order by President Ann Primus on September 5, at 7 p.m. at the Ferdinand Community Center. President Ann welcomed everyone to the meeting. She commented on all the beautiful quilts that were displayed at the Krempp Gallery this year. JCAC stat- ed that this exhibit draws more people to the gallery than any other exhibit they have. Ann commented that the Fidget blankets are very helpful. Anyone who is still making them, have them finished by the December meeting. The staff at the hospital appreciates the do- nations of blankets. In March we would like to start something new in our guild. We would like to teach people who would like to learn how to make a first quilt. Spread the word in the tri-state and invite them to the March meeting. If you know of someone, let Ann know their name and phone number. We will show them the basic techniques. Kay Cobb stated that the Dubois Library is look- ing for someone to teach a class on how to make a quilt block. This person can set up her own time and would be in charge of the program. If interested, let Ann know. Ann then gave the trea- surer's report in Johnnie Heeke's absence. It was giv- en and approved. Program Chair, Becky Fuller, stated that next month we will be starting a Block of the Month quilt. It will be a baby quilt made of appliqued blocks. She will be showing different ways you can applique these block patterns. You will re- ceive two new patterns each month. When you show your completed blocks, she will give you two more pat- terns. This program will run through May. Open sewing dates are September 16, Oc- tober 21, and November 11. Hospitality Chair, Kathy Weyer, stated we have 34 members present. She will have the Christmas party in- formation and tickets at the October meeting. Membership chair, Pame- la Catt, handed out the new membership directories. Special Project Chair, Jane Heichelbeck, reported that she gave 10 quilts to the Lange Fuhs Cancer Center and 7 quilts and 50 bags to Crisis Connection. She has kits available for pick up. Retreat Chair, Ann Jor- den, reported that the St. Meinrad retreat will be Oc- tober 13 -15. The retreat in- cludes seven meals for the stayover members and five meals for the day members. September 18, is the dead- line for signup. Water, cof- fee and ice will be provided. Anyone can bring snacks. President Ann stated that at the December meeting everyone is encouraged to bring show-and-tell items. Even if you showed the item before, bring it again. We have a larger attendance at this meeting to see all the outstanding projects. Every person who shows an item will have her name put into a drawing. Show and Tell followed. Meeting adjourned at 8 p.m. Kay Cobb will have the program in October . The Deb Ervin had a great program on creating a de- sign board. yeah, it's that fast! net edition Z M www.PressDispatch.net/Subscribe The Press-Dispatch. No matter where you live.
