Hexie Club - 12/1/17 - Christmas Party

======================================    
Friday, 12/1/17

• Our group photo was delayed again - fingers crossed it happens this time! Third times the charm and all...
• Birthday swap - Barb is asking for 2 different Civil War prints.
• PLEASE try to catch up on all birthdays by the end of the year so we can start fresh in January. I would almost bet the recipients wouldn't mind receiving just the intended fabric and papers if you don't have time to do the basting.
• LeftRight Game -  please bring a FQ containing snowflakes. 
• 2018 FQ assignments are posted on the FQ page so you can start shopping!
• Mugrug swap! Your mugrug must include some type of EPP and should be about 5x8". Christmas theme/fabric is not a requirement. Please bring your mugrug wrapped. 
• We are doing a potluck dinner for our party. Please let me know of any changes...
• Agnes - dessert?
• Ann - deviled eggs
• Barb - beans & sausage
• Carol - surprise!
• Cathy - crack candy?
• Cheryl - dessert?
• Erica - 
• Grace - 
• Johanna - 
• Lisa - 
• Luanne - mini cherry cheesecakes
• Pat - cupcakes?
• Robyn - beans & ground beef
• Sarah - punch
• Sue C - stromboli
• Susan T - cheese & crackers

======================================    
Red, White & Gratitude - To cover the costs of quilting our 2 donated quilts, we each donated $13. I'm hoping the following are also willing to pitch in: Agnes, Grace, Johanna and Pat. Thank you!

======================================  

Monday, 1/1/18

• "They" say that what you do on New Year's Day is what you will do all year. It's the perfect excuse to spend the day sewing hexies!! 
• The store is closed but Sarah has the key! She'll arrive at noon and we can sew till we drop.
• Feel free to wear your PJs.
• We'll be doing a potluck meal for our New Year's Party - think about what you want to bring and we'll do signups at the December meeting.
• Don't forget to bring the UFO you'll be working on for our challenge.

======================================  

2018 UFO Challenge - Everyone is invited to pick one EPP UFO to make progress on (and hopefully finish!) by the Christmas in July Party.

======================================

2018 Birthday Exchange - 4" Kaleidoscope

• We are trying something a little different this year!! 
• Instead of each birthday girl receiving her favorite color, the birthday girl will receive the givers' favorite colors to make scrappy quilts.
• Each person will be gifting the birthday girl (8) large triangles and (4) small triangles. The birthday girl will then add 8 large and 4 small triangles of background fabric to your gift to complete 2 blocks. I will post pictures on the birthday tab ASAP.
• If you choose to use 2 fabrics it will be 4 large of 1 fabric and 4 large/4 small of another fabric. 
• Anyone want to swap more than one set to make a bigger quilt?

I'm still working on pictures for the birthday page.

Papers and templates will be available at the December meeting.

=====================================

9/2019 ACWC Quilt show

• Jackie was very excited to invite us to have another quilt show in 2 years! 
• We would like all of the quilts to finish at about 34" x 42".
• Design/paper shape is your choice.
• Don't forget the hanging sleeve!
