Plan to meet November 15th, at the Carriage House Meeting Room at 10am. There will not be a board meeting in December. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me any time at 541-223-1093 or stevediane@q.com.

Community Quilters:

Join our hard working group of helpers on November 1st at Family Fabrics in Waldport. You can come and go as you wish anytime between 10 and 2.

Sue was contacted by Donate Life Northwest, Oregon Organ Donor for the State of Oregon regarding the making of a quilt from quilt squares made by the donor’s family and recipients. There is a book of donor/recipient stories that travel with the quilt. There will be a work party for this group at the Newport Elks the end of January to make the quilt blocks and the group has made a request for up to 5 guild members to help the participants. Information and date will be posted on a future OCQG Blog.

2020 Raffle Quilt Ideas:

Several Ideas were presented at our October guild meeting for consideration. If you have an idea please be ready to present it for voting by members in our November meeting.

2019 Raffle Quilt:

We’re looking forward to seeing the finished 2019 Raffle Quilt at the November meeting. Plan on picking up your raffle ticket packets then as well.

2019 Retreat

Please remember to sign up for the Retreat Classes if you’re going to the retreat. Some of you requested pictures of the class projects and an email will be going out to all of you in the next couple of days. Cyndie, Linda Stroup, Sherry Lowrey and I are working behind the scenes to hopefully give you another really fun retreat. Before you know it January will be here.

Documentation:

Documentation workers please remember that the next date is November 10th at the Carriage House. We look forward to seeing you there if you signed up to bring a quilt on that date. Please download the documentation forms and fill them out ahead of time and bring along with your quilt when you come.

Here’s the link for downloading the forms.

http://www.oregoncoastalquilters.org/Forms/OREGON%20QUILT%20PROJECT%20Fillin.pdf

Please contact Twy Hoch as soon as possible if you can’t make your appointed time. If you have quilts that you’ve been putting off documenting stay tuned to the next blog where we’ll be announcing the rest of the documentation dates for this year. This is an important way to preserve the quilt history of our community and provides historical information for future generations on the quilts we make or the ones we’ve inherited.
