Our business meeting and election of officers for 2024 will occur after the luncheon. The following names were presented by the Becky Rush-Peet Nominating Committee for our December 2023 election for the Crystal Quilters Guild: 

Vice President: Susanne Wick

We will have fun and games afterward!  

*Please bring two fat quarters (quilt shop quality) in a brown paper sack for a fun game we will play.

*Please bring 25 markers (buttons or pennies) for our bingo game, along with 2 additional fat quarters. Don’t forget to make your Bingo Card. (Instructions can be found on the upper bar of this blog, under the photo of Mt. Rainier)

We will have the drawing for the marvelous 2023 Raffle Quilt.  There are still a few members who haven't yet paid for your “10 raffle quilt tickets”, this is your last chance to pay and have an opportunity to win our raffle quilt. 

Please bring $35 (check) for your 2024 dues.

Don’t forget your Show & Tell!

We will also be doing Sign Ups for the Traveling Robin for 2024. 

Instructions for participation in this activity:

1. Decide on a pattern for your 12 ½” block. The blocks must be twelve and a half inches. (raw edges) 

Choose a pattern you like.

2. Gather 6 yards of coordinating quilting fabrics including at least a yard of a neutral color.

3. Using your fabric sew your block. Put your fabric and the completed 12 ½” block into an appropriate size container. In this climate, plastic is a good choice. 

4.Cross your name off the list of participants and attach it to the container.

5. Say goodbye to your box and pass it to the next person on the list.

6. As each container comes to you, use your quilt block pattern to create a block with the traveling fabric.

7. Your 12 ½” block is the unfinished block prior to being sewn into the quilt. The block will be 12” finished when in the quilt.
