Why do quilters join guilds? To be around other like minded people, to share their work, and to leave meetings inspired and enthused! We’re keeping this in mind as we plan the meetings for the year. Here’s what we have so far, and many other exciting things are in the works:

November 10th 2008—Putting the Frosting on the Quilt We hope to put together a variety show of mini-demos (15 to 20 minutes) by our members of embellishments that could include materials like paints, paint sticks, crayons, inks, foil, Angelina®, beads, buttons, crystals, sequins, shishas, rick rack, ribbon, cording, tassels and techniques of stamping, stenciling, appliqué, bobbin stitching, Sashiko, or couching. If you have been wondering how you can help this guild, short of being an officer, now is your opportunity. Contact Maxine Carlstedt and Janet Pugh at vpprogramsandworkshops@ r-m-c-q.org if you have a demo you could present. We hope to have 8 to 10 demos going on simultaneously. Don’t feel limited by the above list. We have a lot of members who are experimenting with some pretty unique materials. Maxine is looking for that plastic grass that comes on Japanese food trays!
