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??

Hexie Club - 4/7/17

Birthday swap - April Bowties - 

      Cheryl - 2 solid red/2 red print

Remember:
 --We are only exchanging the 4 outer pieces of the bowtie block. Keep the center square for yourself.
 --"2 / 2" means 2 pieces of the same first fabric and 2 of the same second fabric

2016 UFO Challenge - The December meeting will be the reveal for our UFO challenge. How did you do?

2017 Brown Bag Challenge - At our December meeting we will use a second LR game to swap a brown/lunch bag of "scraps". The "scraps" can be of any size that will be usable for hexies - even FQs if you wish. Remember to include fabrics that you like as the finished item will be returned to you.

If you need a lunch bag there are more at the store in our Hexie Club box.

Your name should only appear on the inside of your bag. The person who receives your bag will make something to be gifted back to you at our Christmas in July party next summer.

***January - our January meeting will be on SUNDAY, 1/1/17. The store will be closed so we'll meet around lunch time (time yet to be nailed down) and stitch in our jammies! We'll do potluck and stitch until our heart's content. Bring hexie fabrics for the LRGame.***

Hexie Club Updates

Hello All!

Remember there is no meeting in July - enjoy the holiday weekend!!

No word yet if we will be invited to demo at the Farmers' Market this summer - will let you know ASAP.

Next regular meeting will be August 5th, followed quickly by our demo at Pike Fair on Friday, 8/19/16 from 6-8pm -- come early if you want to eat together.

I posted tabs about our 2016 and 2017 challenges - please check them out and let me know if you have any ideas to flesh them out.

Don't forget our show at the Arts Council in September - be thinking about what you want to show and if you want to put them up for sale. This year it is not strictly hexie quilts...anything goes!

Also - we are beginning to look for a birthday shape for next year. Any ideas?
