Call for Officers and Volunteers!
Our lovely officers are ready to pass the torch. They’ve done a wonderful job for us, but it’s time to let them sit back and enjoy. We’ve had some folks volunteer to step in their shoes:
Co-Presidents: Karen (behind the scenes stuff) and Bunny (lead the meetings)
Secretary: Dawn
Treasurer: Shelly
Open: Membership Chairman/Secretary – Our guild is growing and we need help keeping track of our members. this role is responsible for keeping a list of members and maintaining OCQMG’s member’s access on the MQG mothership site.
Open: Occasional Event Lead – Have an idea for an event you would love to do with the guild? Or maybe there’s a charity near and dear to your heart that needs some quilty love? This position is a one-time-event (rather than year long) lead that would coordinate a specific event or charity drive. You’d be in charge of the event, calling for any additional helpers, and executing. (Think how Quilts for Pulse was done – everyone made a few blocks, but one person coordinated the gathering of materials and mailing to Orlando MQG).
Now the fun stuff…
T-Shirt Quilts!
Janet, our fearless leader, asked for folks to share their experiences with making T-Shirt quilts.
Trudy, Helene, Gail, Holly, Shannon, and Shelly all shared their awesome tips. Check out the TShirt Post under Resources – Quilt Tips.
There was much oooing and aahhhing over show and tell:
Mary Anne brought some lovely inherited pieced arcs to Quilters Block – What would you do with these pieces?
Janet is wondering if more quilting is needed in the medallions.
Block Lotto
Twists! Everyone did such a lovely job on these half-rectangle blocks in Halloween colors. Congrats to Karen M for winning this month’s blocks.
October’s Block Lotto is “Confetti.” Check the Block Lotto page for information on this month’s block.
Please recommend a block and colors for the upcoming months – See any of our officers for suggestions.
Random Give Aways…
Thank you to Cecile for donating a lovely Fat Quarter bundle (which Karen A forgot to photo…sorry Cecile!)
