Hexie Club - 2/1/19

Friday, 2/1/19  -
  • LeftRight Game -  A new year means a new set of FQs for our monthly swap - bring either a "stone" or a "flower"
    • February stone is the Amethyst 
    • February flower is a Violet or Primrose
  • 2019 Spring UFO challenge  - I don't know about anyone else but I have enjoyed picking a UFO to work on each "semester" so I'll be doing it again this spring, even if it is the same project. 
  • The third set of block directions for our Underground Railroad BOM were handed out at the New Year's Day party. Is your block done yet? Mine isn't...
=====================================
9/2019 ACWC Quilt show
  • It's a mere 216 days until our 2019 show opens on September 7, 2019
  • All of the quilts will finish at 34" x 42" for this exhibit.
  • Design/paper shape/fabric is your choice.
  • Don't forget the hanging sleeve!
We've got some important decisions to make at this meeting:
  • Pick a set up date/time. Date options are September 4, 5 or 6
  • Tear down will be Saturday 10/5. We need to pick a time and volunteers to help
  • We can write an article for the fall ACWC newsletter. Any volunteers? Due 7/15. The article can include a 300dpi photo.
  • I told Jackie we were interested in having an "opening" with food. If we provide the appetizers, plates, napkins, etc then the ACWC will provide the drinks. We need to pick a couple date suggestions to schedule around dates they are planning for the downstairs gallery.
  • The ACWC will again make postcards for us before Pike Fair. The postcards can be mailed - do we have anyone or any groups we want to mail them to or just use them as mini-posters? The postcards can include the same or a different photo than the newsletter article.
