It was decided that we would have executive reports, then the awards from the Quilt Show.
For the CQA Guild challenge, Teresa reported that we can use any fabric, that it does not need to be the Kona. Judy B will find fabric that will be used in the challenge. Hopefully those that wish to be involved in the challenge will receive fabric at the January meeting. The challenge quilts are due for the May meeting.
Bonnie H has resigned from being chair of the Comfort Quilt Committee. Please email Teresa if you can take this over. Cathy S is willing to help you get started.
Judy B reported that we have 91 members with 3 guests attending this evening.
Edith from Out Reach has asked Rotholme for a family we can give Quilts to at Christmas. Chad from Meals on Wheels will be here at the December meeting to accept placemats. The placemats can be any size, eg. 10 X 15 or 12 X 16. These can be any shape, rectangular or square and the placemats can be any fabric including Christmas fabric. Thank you for your help in making placemats for the December meeting.
