Upcoming GreatFul Threads June 26 meeting

Greetings GreatFul Thread Art Quilters,

I do hope you are having a glorious Summer in and around the Chattanooga area. We have a meeting coming up next week on Thursday, June 26. I will not be available that day and Vista has graciously volunteered to oversee the meeting, thank you Vista.

We will be meeting at 3:00 that afternoon in order to work on the fused CDM quilt. Karen assembled the six fused rows Saturday during a Modern Guild Sew-In, thank you Karen. The 4-patch blocks and rows will need to be made and stitched, along with the remaining strips and side borders. it will not take long to make if we have 2 to 3 machines running with someone to iron and another to oversee the stitched rows. The business meeting will begin at 6:00, as usual.

Be sure to come with ideas for making use of the Arts Build grant money. Liza Blair sent a copy of the 2013 guidelines that will be passed around and discussed. Before the meeting, take time to online research ideas and artist you think would be a draw for our art quilt community. Begin with names of artist you would like to take a class from.

Bring your recently finished or ongoing projects for show 'n tell. Don't forget when you are traveling this summer to check out quilt shops wherever you might be. You never know what ideas and supplies are waiting just for you.

Take time to create,

Denise
