Seams Sisters – May 7, 2013 Meeting Notes

1. We had a discussion about cancer quilts. We have between 10-20 tops done. We are going to give some of the completed ones to the Moose Lake Oncology Department. Marge commented that Kanabec Hospital – First Light also has a new Oncology Department. It would be nice if we could provide them with some quilts too. Several offered to quilt or bind the completed ones. We are considering another Saturday Open Sewing in June (?) for the next cancer quilt sew-a-thon. We do need more labels for the cancer quilts.

2. We talked about a few other “old business” topics which included receiving an updated list of members.

3. We need 21 star blocks for our block exchange due in December. The pattern can be of your own choice. If you are having trouble finding a pattern, search the internet – [google “quilterscash.com”]. Also, I noticed that allpeoplequilt.com has a whole section on star block quilts.

4. The June 4th meeting will be at the Moose Lake Community Center which is behind the library. We will keep our meeting start time (6:15 PM) the same to avoid confusion. The hostesses for June are Carol H. and Bette D. Our July meeting will be at Bette’s – we’ll do a pot luck as we have in the past.
