Minutes from the November 9, 2006
Quintessential Quilters Meeting
President Beckey McIntyre called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
November birthdays and QQ guests were recognized.
Announcements:
- Tonight is the last night to sign up for the February 2007 QQ
Retreat at Deer Creek. Peggy Notestine gave an update.
- Barbara Olsen will be teaching two classes in January:
Prismatic Flowers and Begin at the End (design the border and then
the quilt). These sessions will be held at the new Stitching Post and will
cost $50.00 each, with a $10.00 surcharge for non-members. Barbara will speak
at the January 11 guild meeting and the classes will be held January 12 and
13th. Sign up sheets and supply lists will be available at the December
meeting.
- The Kids N Kamp quilt auction was a huge success. Last
month's garage sale netted $456.50. The extra Christmas ornaments were sold
individually and made $550.00. The decorated Christmas tree went for $1,100.00
and the auction of quilts made $39,200.00! Many thanks to all QQ members who
participated in some way.
- Beckey announced that QQ is in great need of a hospitality
coordinator, greeters for each meeting and (especially) workshop committee
members. Please call Beckey and let her know how you can help.
- A pre-school in the Worthington area is looking for help making a
thumbprint quilt with their students. Beckey has more information if you are
interested.
- Genelle Johnson is starting the Columbus Christian School of Needle
Arts, to help students develop their fiber art skills and their Christian
faith. She is looking for both instructors and students at this time. If you
have a skill you would like to share, please contact Genelle at (614)
833-5739. She is looking at a Bexley location and will pay instructors $9.00
per hour. The brochure is available here: (pdf link)
We have 3 challenges available this year. They are:
- The President’s Challenge – make fabric postcards to trade with a
group of Japanese quilters.
- The Library Ladies “No More Whining” Challenge - design and make a
personalized seat cushion for our uncomfortable chairs (due Sept 2007).
- The Guild Challenge – Blocks in Disguise.

Vicki Pignatelli was our speaker for the evening. She shared her quilt
journey and many of her distinctive quilts. She demonstrated the 10 important
qualities for quilters - determination, persistence, humor, flexibility,
patience, courage/curiosity, passion, sharing, motivation and faith in yourself
- with her quilts.
The December meeting is our Annual Banquet. The guild will provide the
main, table service and drinks. Members are asked to bring sides, salads and
desserts to share. We will begin the December meeting at 6:30 so there is lots
of time to eat and visit. Please bring a hand-made ornament wrapped in a fat
quarter to exchange (it must be handmade, but they don’t have to be your hands).
If you can help with the banquet, contact Kathi Machle.
Show and tell completed the evening.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane Hedge
Secretary
