What a jam-packed meeting this past Tuesday evening! Amongst the normal business-y updates, we watched a video on how one quilter organizes the different steps in her quilt making process. This is definitely something to which we can aspire! You can check out the YouTube video here
The leadership asked the guild informally polled the guild on the communication method they are most likely to access: Sunday reminder email, Facebook, and/or the CPQG website. This is a reminder that there are multiple ways to be engaged with your guild!
A lively discussion was had on favorite quilt shops both brick & mortar and online. This discussion may have led to several quilters planning future road trips! You can find the list of shops that were mentioned on the 'Links to pages of interest to quilters' on this website.
Then, of course, show and tell:
