February Meeting
It is not canceled.
New Year, New Leadership and Lots of Plans!
Hello Modern Quilters!
Let's start off the new year with a recap of January's events.
January 2018 started out with a change in leadership for our guild. Tricia Harvey stepped down as President, for medical reasons, after forming the original group and being the leader and then guild President for 3 1/2 years total.
Susan Gutierrez, our faithful Vice President (I) moved into that position per the guilds by laws at the first TMQG board meeting of the year.
Tricia requested to be voted in for Vice President (I) whose duties include communication and social media, by the board. The board voted Tricia in by a unanimous vote.
Our January Sew Day was held January 20th where we had 2 guests and one of them joined our guild. Everyone welcome Mendy Brittian when you see her at the next meeting or Sew Day.
Teri Brooks and Melanie Dossey showed the completed Quiltcon Charity Quilt and it was awesome!! Everyone involved did such a wonderful job. We are proud that it will be hanging at Quiltcon Pasadena this year.
Tricia Harvey announced that the board has decided on 3 charities to support this year. The first is Covered In Love, Kat Drinkwater's charity to provide quilts to patients of ETMC who will die while they are there in the hospital. The quilts provide comfort to the patients and families and help to cheer the room. The block requested for each month will be showcased here on this blog and at our meetings. We will collect all blocks made and send them to Kat in one package.
The second charity is TASCA - Tyler Area Senior Citizens Association. We have been asked to provide handmade items for prizes for their game nights, auctions and raffles.
The third charity is the Small Kennel Quilt Project. We will be providing 12 x 18 inch finished kennel pads for small animals that are in shelters. Some have been displaced by hurricanes, wild fires, or floods. Donations of batting and cheerful fabric are always welcome. Susan will have the box of precut batting and fabrics at our Sew Days for anyone needing a quick project to work on.
**Please be sure to show the charity projects you have completed each month during show and tell.**
Teri Brooks announced our Skill Builder Quilt for this year. It is the Modern Sunset Quilt from PileOFabric.com. This is for everyone to work at their own pace and you can complete as few or as many blocks as you'd like. Bring them to Sew Day if you need help.
Susan reminded us that Maker Faire is coming up on Saturday, April 28th and we will have a booth there again with several sewing machines, teaches children and adults how to make a 4 patch block. We hope everyone will be excited to volunteer for this great community teaching project. There will be sign up sheets at future meetings.

Our Program tonight was a Modern Approach to English Paper Piecing taught by Beckey Prior and Rhonda Chapman.
