Upcoming Meeting - March 6, 2021 - 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Please join us this Saturday, March 6th,  from 1-3 p.m. for our monthly GMQG meeting via Zoom.  Please take note:  Zoom access starts at 12:50 p.m. with the meeting beginning promptly at 1:00 p.m.  If you are not a member and would like to join, please contact us at greenvillemqg@gmail.com.  The Zoom access code is being sent to members in a separate email.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday for Favorite Books - Member Participation.

Dust off one of your favorite quilting books for the meeting, and prepare to:

    1.  share a little of what you love and enjoy about the book,

    2.  show any quilt(s) you made from the book, and

   3.  open up the Zoom chat box (tab at bottom of your Zoom screen) during the meeting to enter any and all of your favorite quilting books noting title, author, and any inspiration you gained from your book(s). 

        

A list of all of these favorite books will be compiled and put on the website for reference and inspiration.

April Speaker and Workshop:  At our April 3rd Members Meeting, Maria Shell will present “Building Community Through Quilts” virtually from Anchorage, Alaska.  Immediately following the guild meeting, she will conduct a virtual workshop through her Zoom account on “Making Prints Out of Solids.”  The fee for the workshop is $25.00.  Contact us at greenvillemqg@gmail.com to sign up.

A Few Reminders and Bits of Information:

.  Sub-committee chair & help:

We are looking for a volunteer(s) to help us come up with a classified ads policy (what &/or whom to allow to advertise, fees, etc.).  We have neighboring guilds from whom to find examples.  These classified ads would be shared on the blog and perhaps Facebook listing items for sale or quilting services, for instance.  The Board has some ideas and would like a member to assist in this endeavor.  Contact Brooke Stambersky if interested. 

.  Show & Share/Quilt Quark Gallery: 

Send your photos of completed quilts with the subject heading Show & Share to greenvillemqg@gmail.com or if after Wed. night, to Dana Blasi to be shown at the next meeting and featured in Quilt Quark.  Thanks for "photoshopping" your photos.


.  GMQG Quilts for Facebook & Instagram: 

Susan Rink is collecting photos of quilts to use on our Facebook & Instagram page for advertising.  Please send photos of quilts made by you to Susan at srink100@yahoo.com.

.  Ten Minutes of Inspiration: 

Send Johnnie McKenzie (johnniemckenzie@att.net) photos of your quilt and she will spend 10 minutes talking with you about your inspiration and the process of executing your idea into your quilt.
