January 18, 2014 Meeting

Our January meeting was called to order and we introduced ourselves to each other since we had 3 new visitors.
- Callie Tenny spoke briefly about our charity sew for the Vanderbilts NICU. Disscussion about whether to purchase an ACCUQUILT template for the smocks. Our cost would be approximately $125. It is tabled at this time.
- Discussed February's meeting - Free Motion Quilting
Bring 12 X 12 muslin squares (w/batting) or a larger lap project to work on.
- Discussed our 2013 Sew Red for Women BOM project. Need to assemble blocks and quilt. Jenny offered to assist.
- 2014 Dues are due - $40 - pay Linda Cunningham - a portion goes directly to the National Modern Quilt Guild.
