Old Business:

1. Motion was made by Vicki Lawrence and seconded by Jill Garardy that the guild buy two copies of the book Garden Nouveau Quilts and donate them to the Lyndon and Burlingame libraries in remembrance of Lee Neetleton and Della Denny. Vicky will sign the books and Jane Williams will take them to the library.


2. Discussion was held concerning the quilt show that was tentatively set for this October. Motion was made by Chris Shipp and seconded by Vicki Lawrence that the quilt show be postponed until next year to commemorate the Kansas Sesquicentennial - our 150th anniversary of statehood. Antique quilts will be included in the show.


New Business:

1. The AQS Raffle Quilt was discussed. Vicki Lawrence is working on getting the pattern.

Program:
Jane Anderson presented a quilt she had made called Simply Squares. Hers was made with floral fabrics. Jane demonstrated how you start with fabric cut into rectangles, which is cut apart and sew back together, and you end up with squares on point. Jane’s quilt was beautiful.

Jane also showed her “Quilted Ladies” pin she had made and gave members a face so we could make our own quilted lady. See photo:

















Show and Tell: Monica Prim, Vicki Lawrence, and Jane Anderson showed their work. Jill also presented Block #6 of the block of the month and showed her quilt completed with block 6.
