October 2009 Guild Meeting – Annual Sew-In for Northeast Kids
The annual sew-in, normally held in November, was held in October this year due to scheduling of guest speakers for our November meeting. The Guild tried something new this year. We started at 4pm so that we could get a lot more sewing done. This worked out very well as many quilt tops were completed during the course of the evening & many teams began 2nd tops. Program Committee Co-chair Kathleen Morris organized the sew-in by having members sign up to be on teams (9 teams total) at the September meeting and to indicate which sewing items they were bringing (machines, cutting implements, irons, etc) and when they would be arriving. Most members arrived for the 1st shift (4-4:30) and a handful arrived later. Pizza, salad & homemade cookies were served at 6pm, the normal business meeting was conducted @ 7pm along with Show & Tell. Sewing then resumed. Because of the early start time, the sew-in wrapped up early – around 8:30. Cleanup was done rather quickly and we vacated the Church by 9pm. Members should return the completed quilt tops along with backing and binding fabrics by the December 2009 Guild meeting. This will allow the committee time to measure and associate battings so that these quilts can be tied during the February 2010 Tie-In. 2009 Sew-in Â
