The weather outside was very hot, and the turnout for the afternoon was very small, but it was enthusiastic.
The meeting was
called to order by Rae B.
There were 22 members present and
1 guest.
A postcard from
Audrey was read telling of her travels and quilt shop finds in the
north.

The August 21st
meeting will include the recycle sale in the evening. All proceeds go to the seller. Bring any fabrics, notions etc. that you want to recycle in
the sale. You set the price.
The August daytime
meeting will include a project assembling a Twister Quilt. This will begin at 1 pm.
A registration
form for the Arts Council’s Christmas Craft Sale was received and deemed
unnecessary as there is no Quilt Show raffle this year.
Listen for news on
an upcoming retreat at Paradise Lodge.
Rolling Ray of
Sunshine, rolling quilt shop will be in The Pas on August 17, 18 and in Flin
Flon on August 20-23. Watch for
locations (possibly the church parking lot) and posters with more information.
Kathy from
Tamarack Shack showed her picks for contrasting fabrics for the mystery quilt
beginning in January to give an idea of the contrast needed.
Rae B,
Eileen M and Evelyn B are assembling a Cobblestones quilt to be
raffled at the Christmas Craft Sale in Creighton.
Numerous requests
for Comfort Quilts have been confirmed.
Any ideas for additional recipients for quilts are needed.
Marg and Barb
H have compiled two binders with a photo record of all Comfort and Raffle
Quilts made to date.
Rae B has put a call out for light and dark fabrics, cut in five inch squares, to make half square triangles for
Comfort Quilts. The dark fabrics should be masculine fabrics.
Marg F will
be doing a project with strips soon.
The church has
been booked for a “6 Hour Quilt” on Saturday October 20, 2012 to help meet the
requests for Comfort Quilts.
A discussion was
held on how to make people more aware of the Comfort Quilt concept.
Show and Tell for July
Happy Quilting
