November Meeting

November 3, 2009 BOM/Guild Meeting

In attendance were Tresa, Kristine, Chris & Laurel (you can just barely see her hair)

















Anna, Marilyn, Rose (& Cathie behind the camera)
















and of course, our host, Marla
















Thanks to Marla for hosting a fun block of the month and providing delicious soup and tasty snacks! Loved the homemade crackers with goat cheese :)

The block Marla provided was "Card Trick." Here's a snapshot of the block for those who didn't get it put together on Saturday.



and Laurel with her finished block.





















Anna had show & tell, next month she and Robert will be cuddling together under that snuggly quilt!





















Our annual Christmas dinner will be at Rickenbacker's Bistro on Thursday, December 10th at 6:00p.m. Here's the link to their web site where you can find the menu and directions. http://rickenbackersbistro.com/

Cathie is checking out available June 2010 dates for a Sages Creek retreat at Bear Lake. The RDO weekends for that month are the 11th and 25th we are waiting to hear if either of those are available.

Marla passed around her draft for the raffle tickets. Looked good to all. Now we just have to print fliers and sell tickets!

We talked a little about charity quilts. It was proposed that next year's quilts be done in red/white/blue and donated to the new Veterans Retirement/Nursing Home in Ogden. Also mentioned was quilts for children for Shriners (??? - I forgot to write down the organization)

Without our fearless leader present, other business just fell by the wayside.

Hope to see everyone at Rickenbacker's Bistro in December.
