Hexie Club - 7/7/17

Hello Ladies - I hope you are ready for a busy month because we've got a lot to accomplish!!

Birthday swap - Sue - 2 each of 2 different greens

LeftRight Game -  please bring a Red, White & Blue FQ.

======================================    
Snacks - It's a Christmas in July Party so think cookies!! Cut outs. Bars. Molasses, Candy Lassies. Anything goes but make sure to bring a couple copies of the recipe if you want to share or send it to me and I'll add it to the recipe tab on our blog.

We are also going to need some drinks with all these cookies...Carol is going to make eggnog and we've got a couple partial bottles of wine. Does anyone want to bring milk?  (Cathy is bringing milk) Or another holiday drink?

If you've got a few spare plastic cups at home we could use a few of those too.

======================================    
Brown Bag Challenge - Projects are due at this months meeting - are you going to be done in time? Bring your project wrapped so the recipient won't be able to guess what you've made her!

======================================    
Quilt in Public Day is Saturday 6/17/17. Bring your projects and a lawn chair! Between 10am and 2pm we'll be hexing on the front lawn! If it rains we'll move inside. Bring your lunch or we'll order out.


======================================    
ACWC show - Don't forget we are going to do another exhibit at the ACWC in September. The exhibit does not have to be a hexie related quilt and you are allowed to sell any item that is shown. I'll have sign up forms at the July meeting.

======================================    
Red, White & Gratitude - Bev Edwards (Castile, 585-493-2444) is collecting patriotic quilts (60x80) for a quilt show at the Warsaw Legion Hall on November 4th. Smaller items can also be donated and will be used as door prizes. After the show the quilts will be donated to Wyoming County Vets. All donations can be dropped off at the store since Bev doesn't have storage space. Can you believe that Bev is only expecting 25 quilts??!! Lets all pitch in to far exceed that number!

Hexie Club is working to make a donation quilt. Each member is asked to make 3 rosettes with 1.5" hexies in red and blue fabrics. We will discuss appliqueing the rosettes to white squares at the July meeting. Can't make the July meeting?/ Then please drop your rosettes off at the store, send them with a friend or take them to Sarah's office. All quilts are due  11/1/17 so we don't have any time to waste given our busy summer schedules...


Heavens to Murgatroyd.., I think that's everything. What did I forget??
