September Meeting notes and Jelly Roll Info

Brenda wants to remind people to bring in their dues. 

  We had a great Sew In Saturday last weekend. We had lots of sewers and we had a great time making the tree skirt for the residents of the Manor. Some people want to make one more for themselves so if you are interested, bring 200 squares of 5 inch Christmas fabric to this month's meeting. You may want to exchange to get more variety. I will put the picture on the blog.( fundyquilters.blogspot.com)

The winner of the fat quarter draw last month was Molly. She has chosen flannel for this month.

We are also asking people to donate a fat quarter so we can get a care package to Pat who has had to move to Alberta suddenly.  

Sharon and Ann have agreed to let us donate items to the Mothers' Day quilt show in Centreville. Proceeds will go to the IWK for this venture.  Our quarter auction will be held in November with proceeds going to the legion to help them stay open in Berwick.

If you are interested , Ann is hosting a sew day at the Berwick Legion every Monday from 9 until 3 PM. Tea/coffee are provided but bring your own lunch. Cost is freewill offering($3.00 minimum) 

On November 10, we are hosting a JellyRoll Race workshop at the South Berwick Community Hall. Jan Weedon is the teacher and she would like to start at 9:30. I will be at the hall by 8:45 so people can get set up. You will have a completed quilt top by the end of the day--usually after an hour. Please let me know if you will be attending so I can let Jan know how many will be there. It is a lot of fun.  It is free if you are a member of Fundy Quilters and we will charge a nominal fee of $20.00 for nonmembers ($20.00 is our membership fee) We will plan a potluck lunch that day--I will make a slowcooker full of soup. 

We were attempting to arrange a schedule for our meetings but we will need to complete it this October!  This is what I have so far so please let me know if I have forgotten something. Except for November, all our Sew In days are work on your own projects--and you can sew on your own project if you do not want to do the jelly roll race in November.
