Unfinished Projects(UFO’s) – Jessie Comeaux
Jessie Comeaux is the chair for 2014. A copy of the blank form has been posted on
to the blog site. Enter the game and
have fun racing for the lead and have the bonus of moving a lot of unfinished
projects. To qualify as finished, the
quilt has to be quilted, bound and preferably brought to show and tell during a
meeting. Just sign up your ufo’s with
Jessie. A quilt can be added anytime
during the year.
Tabs - Betty Braud
Betty Braud is the quilt guild contact of this charity
project. Just remember when you pop a
top pull the tab and collect them to bring to a meeting. I have family members
saving them for me. We are giving them to the reopened New Orleans McDonald’s
house. Note: You all know my sister in Monroe had been
delivering our tabs to the McDonald’s House in Monroe, LA. A member of her church saw her saving tabs
and asked why. My sister now has her
church saving tabs for the house.
Door Prizes – Sharon
Sharon will collect the door prizes. A prize will be pulled during each meeting.
Quilt Show – Renee’ Hoeprich
Renee’ has graciously offered to be the Quilt Show chair
for this year. The members accepted her
offer. Just let her know you will be on
the committee. Our annual quilt show is
always greatly received by the community.
Setup is planned for August 1 & 2.
Demo Day is planned for August 23.
We plan to take down the show August 28th. The Quilt Show has been on the library
calendar since the last show.
Charity Quilts – Merlene & Elsie
The guild will ask (by letter) the Wasted Women to provide
some fabric to make our charity quilts.
The members voted for our charities this year. The charity quilts will go to Generations
Hospice, OLOL Children’s Hospital and The Cancer Services. We will also continue to make the stuffed
teddy bears to donate for the Children’s Hospital.
Challenge Block
The challenge block is due this month. It is to represent the Sassi Strippers Quilt
Guild. The block is to be 8.5 inches
(8.0 inches finished). The block will be
used on the blog site as our “official” quilt block to represent our guild.

Program
Renee’ Hoeprich presented a program which will last a

unfinished blocks. This ongoing program
will give us all learning opportunities.

Beautiful as always.
