Hexie Club - 11/6/20

11/6/20

I think that this month's meeting might be a warmer day than last month but we will still meet inside. Depending on how many attend we can space ourselves around the tables on the stage or we can also space out into the rest of the store as well. Don't forget (prepackaged) snacks to share and show-n-tell.

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

12/4/20 - I know it's hard to believe but Christmas is on our doorstep and it's time to plan our annual Christmas Party...

Games 

-- Bring two FQs, one Christmas and one anything goes - I'll have a left-right game and a winner takes all game :)

--In the past we have also had a mugrug swap - want to do that again?

Food

In the past we have held a potluck dinner. I'm not sure potluck is a good idea yet given the current covid conditions so what do you think about ordering food this year? Pizza? Subs? Restaurant?

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

1/1/21 - Save the date for our annual New Years Day Stitch till you drop event. 

Noon until we can't see straight any more. 

Thoughts on food? 

 

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

HST Project

Block designs were handed out at the August meeting - how many blocks have you completed? 

Don't forget to bring them for show-n-tell.

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

September 2021 - Fourth Biennial ACWC Quilt show 

• Theme - Underground Railroad BOM
• 298 days until our next show! 

Hexie Club - 9/4/20

9/4/20

Hello all - I think those of us that came to last month's outside meeting had a good time so I'm hoping for the same this month. The weather is looking good so keep your fingers crossed!

Please bring your own lawn chair. Masks are optional since we will be sitting 6 feet apart.

We could consider sitting behind the store so the traffic noise isn't so loud. I guess who ever arrives first will get to make the decision. 

Don't forget show and tell!

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

HST Project

Block designs were handed out at the last meeting so it will be interesting to see who's made progress already! I'll have more handouts for those that were not at the last meeting.

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

September 2021 - Fourth Biennial ACWC Quilt show 

• Theme - Underground Railroad BOM
• 361 days until our next show! 

Hexie Club - 8/7/20

8/7/20

Due to the ongoing pandemic, this month's meeting will be held outside. We should be able to space far enough apart to not need masks but feel free to wear one if you prefer.

Please bring your own lawn chair.

I haven't seen any thing official but I'm pretty sure homemade snacks and potlucks are out of the question for some time to come. Feel free to bring store bought treats if you feel like sharing.

As you may already know, the store is closed for some minor repairs. We hope this is not the case for our meeting but please be aware that the store may not have electric this weekend and therefore there will be no overhead  lights for shopping or the bathroom.

I plan on handing out the HST block designs at this meeting. I know the start has been delayed several times and I hope that I've ordered the requested papers but we shall see when we get to Friday...

Let me know if you need me to order any other papers. I hope to place an order real soon as a friend and I are starting Mrs Peach - maybe you want to join in?! It's a great fussy cutting /scrap using pattern.

Hexie Club Update

Hello all -

July - no Hexie Club on 7/3 due to the holiday. If anyone wants to organize a few members for the following Friday please let Claudia know. (I'll be hexing in the ADK so I can't join in!)

August - we will have hexie club outside on the front lawn, similar to Quilt In Public Day a few weeks ago. Bring your lawn chair and a citronella candle. LOL. We will space out so that no masks are needed. More info to come...

Hexie Club on Pause

Hello all - with NYS on Pause, we will also be pausing Hexie Club until further notice. Please keep emailing me photos of your projects and I'll post whatever I receive on Fridays.

Don't forget to get back to me with the # and size of HST blocks you want to make for our group project so I can get them ordered. Thanks!
