The Nishna Botna Valley Quilt Guild met on July 19th, 2016 at the Walnut Public Library. Ten members and 2 guests were present. We missed, Shirley J. , Shirley W., and Charmayne P. Our guests were Joyce Hansen and Karma Sorensen and Dixie Armstrong. We also were happy to see a former member, Tammy Langlois and her granddaughter Katrina and another former member Julia ?? <br />
Betty Morris, president opened the meeting and the June minutes were read and approved. Sally – Motion; Dorothy-seconded. <br />
Treasurer’s report was given. A refund check of $25.22 was received from Walmart for the roll of batting that was ordered. Balance is $732.76. <br />
Betty and Elaine reported on items purchased for Family, Inc with our $50.00 donation. Here is what they purchased:<br />
9 blouses or shirts; 9 skirts or shorts; 2 jackets; 4 sundresses. Good job ladies! <br />
Roxie did not have any report on charity quilts. 6 Patriotic quilts were finished since our last meeting and given to Roxie. <br />
Fran had a new project for us. Strip blocks were distributed and due next month. <br />
Sally gave a very helpful demonstration of how to make a “sausage pillowcase”. Interesting process and will be useful for Christmas gifts. <br />
Fran gave an equally helpful demonstration on “coping strips”. This a helpful tip to know when one has blocks that are not the same size. <br />
Both Roxie and Kristine were remembered for their birthdays. Each received a cute gift. <br />
Many had “show and tell” items to share. Kristine, Sharon, Dorine, Shelly, Fran, Sally and Dorothy all had been busy making items for gifts and showing items completed. <br />
Roxie served delicious refreshments and Karma won the CLR game. <br />
Next month bring 3 – 5” squares of children’s print. Can be cotton or flannel. ALSO if you didn’t bring diapers last month please bring them this time. <br />

<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The Nishna Botna Valley Quilt Guild met on May 17, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at the Walnut Public Library.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">

It was so good to have Charmayne back with us after her foot </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">injury. We had 2 visitors: Karma Sorensen and Joyce Hansen.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">President Betty called the meeting to order. Minutes were read and approved.

<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We discussed the name on the checking account being different from the name on the bank statement. </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Betty Morris made a motion that Shelly Storjohann be authorized to talk to the bank and get our true</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">name Nishna Botna Valley Quilt Guild corrected on the statement and eventually the checks.</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Charmayne Presley seconded that motion and it carried. The bank will allow us to use the current </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">checks until they are finished;then order new checks with the correct name on them.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">

<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The members who participated in the sampler quilt showed their pieced tops or their completed quilts.</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">All were very attractive and well done.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Shelly gave a demonstration on the “disappearing nine patch” block. Very interesting and a good way </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">to use up scraps.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Several shared something they had completed since our last meeting. A few more lap robe quilts were </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">completed and given to Roxie. Roxie brought kits that had been assembled at Sew Day. Several took </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">them to work on during the summer.</span></div>
<div class="gE iv gt" style="cursor: auto; padding: 12px 0px 3px;">

July 2015 meeting.</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
Ladies, I apologize for the lateness of these minutes. I was out of town and everything got put on hold, then I was out of sync ( do any of you ever feel that way) ... so now I am going to spend a few minutes and catch up.<br />
<br />
Shelly took notes for me , so these will be brief notes to you , but for the record they will be here.<br />
<br />
Dorine opened the meeting and minutes from the Secretary and Treasurer were read and approved. <br />
<br />
Elaine passed out her choice for the Sampler block. A cute little rail fence... Elaine I thought you would pick a bear claw. Everyone is reminded to keep working on your sampler...<br />
<br />
Clr was played and I think from these notes you should bring 5 inch florals next month.<br />
<br />
Fran passed out her continuing blocks to be made into our charity quilts. This months was named Navajo block and again she gave us the focus fabric. Fran we really appreciate you doing this. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. <br />
<br />
In October we will have the nomination of officers. It was decided to have 1 year for President and Vice president and Secretary. Shelly said she would keep the treasurers job.<br />
<br />
Meeting was closed and lunch was served...... yum... I bet.... not sure who, but thanks.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
First of all I need to apologize for not getting notes in on our November meeting. I will try to insert them at a later date.<br />
<br />
Also I would like to thank Dorine for hosting our Christmas party. It was a super fun evening with lots of good food and drink and many lovely gifts were exchanged. Dorine gave us a lovely tour of her home and we all enjoyed the evening very much.<br />
<br />
Our January meeting was held in the Walnut Library with 10 members present and 2 guests. <br />
<br />
Charmayne was ill and no minutes were read. Shelly gave the treasurers report and collected dues from those present. It was noted that $10 of our dues will go to a community project. We are concentrating on the Avoca food pantry at this time. At each meeting we will also bring items that can be donated to the food pantry. In February we will <span style="color: blue;">bring paper products</span>. <br />
<br />
Roxie reported that 43 quilts were donated to the Elkhorn Nursing home. We will now move on to making walker bags ( 15x15) and quilts (40x40) to be donated to the Oakland Nursing home next December. A February 21 sew day is tentatively scheduled at Roxie's home. <br />
<br />
Betty Morris demonstrated the first step of a little tote. We will all <span style="color: blue;">bring back our start of the project</span> with the second step demonstrated in February. <br />
<br />
We play Quilto and Elaine won the 10" bright colored squares. Next month we will <span style="color: blue;">bring 5, 5 inch St Patty's themed blocks. </span><br />
<br />
New Business included members sharing ideas for programs for future months. The executive board (Betty) distributed colored blocks to all members. We are suppose to use any or all of the blocks to create a new 12 1/2 ( to finish 12") block. <span style="color: blue;">Bring that block in February</span>.These will be exchanged and we will continue to add blocks to them. More info to follow on this project. Another idea (Dorine) was to make a 4" Christmas decoration by each member. We should label the back with name of block and our initial. <span style="color: blue;"> Bring your ornament in February</span>. They will be used to decorate a tree at the Walnut Christmas walk or a tree at Dorine's shop. Roxie also suggested everyone bring a fat quarter with a holiday theme... then we would trade fat quarters and create a quilt according to that theme... We will table that idea for the time being.<br />
<br />
Fran will do the next member demo in March. It will be her choice as to what she wants to share with us. <br />
<br />
Roxie and Shirley brought treats to celebrate Shirley's birthday. Happy Birthday Shirley.<br />
<br />
We need to keep Dorothy, Dorine,Vivian, and Charmayne especially in our thoughts and prayer. All are having health issues. <br />
<br />
I am looking forward to another wonderful year of lots of fun projects, shop hops, ice cream, fellowship, and friendship with all of you ladies...<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Our meeting was called to order at 7:00pm with 9 members present. Minutes from the Sept 16th meeting were read by our secretary, Charmayne and approved as read. Shelly gave the treasurer's report. Our balance was given and mentioned that one check from the shop ( I originally wrote sock hop.... showing my age) hop is still outstanding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Roxie reported that the quilts will be delivered on Dec.10th. Anyone wanting to go along should contact her. Also any quilts unfinished or being stored should be given to Roxie as soon as possible. There won't be another work or sewing day until January. November and December are such busy months for everyone. We should now be working on our 40x40 quilts and our walker bags.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Old business included a reminder of the Christmas party held at Dorine's. Remember to bring a homemade gift for a member exchange. Some quilters are diabetic and some have allergies, so keep that in mind if baking something. Approximately a $10 limit on these gifts.. Also bring the gift for your secret sister as they will be revealed at this time. If you are unable to attend don't forget your secret sister. We all need to remember our obligation , if you took a name you should try to fulfill your gifts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Roxie also had our program for October. She showed us how to make the cutest origami bags. She gave us all a pattern so we can make them at home... Great idea for Christmas gifts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There were only a few show and share quilts... <br />

<span style="color: red;">Spotlight on our members</span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">Sharon Guffey Lewis has loved quilts all her life and started quilting herself a couple years ago. Sharon prefers small wall hangings, table runners and lap quilts. </span><br />
<br />
Sharon was a teacher for 20 years. She then went to seminary and became a pastor in the United Church of Christ. Besides her work in the ministry she enjoys sewing and gardening, along with quilting, of course.<br />
<br />
Sharon really enjoys our group and especially enjoys the sew days, where she feels she learns a lot.<br />
<br />
Even though she hasn't been quilting long she has 6 totes, 2 chests, 2 hampers, and 2 piles that consist of her stash.<br />
<br />
Sharon married Steve Lewis in 2001. Together they have 5 children and spouses and 9 grandchildren.<br />
<br />

<br />
Dorine called our meeting to order with 13 members present. The minutes were read by Charmayne and approved. Shelly noted that 2 checks had been written for the shop hop drivers and Dorine was given a check for quilting our John Deere quilt. Shelly also issued a check for postage and cards to Charmayne, so that she can keep them on hand.<br />
<br />
Roxie talked about the walker bags and brought lots of quilt blocks that had been squared up by Shelly and are ready to go for bags and quilts. All members were encouraged to take them home and work on them. The next work day is October 18th at 9:30 at Roxie's.<br />
<br />
Sharon reported on the shop hop for the group. Roxie and Vivian each won one of the drawings at quilt shops that we visited. Betty told us about her "shop hop" in Kentucky and Tennessee and brought us all book marks from Eleanor Burns shop. <br />
<br />
We discussed the final plans for the Christmas party. It will be Dec 9th at 6pm at Dorine's home. We are to bring our secret quilter's Christmas gift and a homemade gift with the approximate value of $10. Also everyone is to bring a finger food to share and beverage of your "choice". <br />
<br />
The one yard Challenge quilts were displayed. Roxie won best of show, and Elaine most unique . Sharon won best use of color. ( I hope that is right).. It was fun to see all the interesting uses of the 5 fabrics. Photos will follow.<br />
<br />
UFO's are due at the November meeting. <br />
<br />
The program for the night was done by Elaine. She showed us a very clever way to make hexi's from a circle. Some made perfect hexi's... unfortunately some couldn't quite get the technique down... lol<br />
<br />
Several ladies brought show and tell. Shirley displayed a beautiful Red and White quilt. Again, photos to follow.<br />
<br />
The October program will be Roxie, Origami Bags. <br />
<br />
A reminder that the Des Moines Expo is October 1-4.<br />
<br />
We played quilto... and I am sorry, I didn't write down who won... They got the fall leaves strips. <br />
<br />
The next meeting will be Oct 21.. If anyone remembers what we are bringing for Quilto....let me know... I will add it to the blog.... ( I must have been distracted when I was making my notes..... glad I am not the official secretary!!)<br />
<br />
Meeting was closed. Hope you are all enjoying the lovely fall weather.<br />
<br />

<br />
Our spotlight this month is on Fran Dixon. Fran has been quilting for about 20 years, but sewing since she was about 10 years old. She has always been fascinated with quilts. After Fran retired, she happen to take a class and the rest is history. <br />
<br />
Fran says she doesn't have the patience for mini quilts and prefers larger quilts with traditional patterns. <br />
<br />
Fran was a stay at home mom for a lot of years, then got a job in an office and was a legal secretary at a large prominent law firm in Alaska. She had four children. Carla, Paula, Lynnette and Greg. As many of you know, Greg passed away in 2013. She has 10 grandchildren. Fran is originally from Maine, but spent the last 35 years before moving to Carson, Iowa in Alaska.<br />
<br />
Fran enjoys sewing with groups in Council Bluffs, Quilts from the Bluffs. They are a charity group. She is largely responsible for the quilting group that meets in Oakland every other Thursday at Fellowship of Faith church. <br />
<br />
Crocheting, embroidery, and reading are her other hobbies. I also know that she is a wonderful long arm quilter.<br />
<br />
When asked how big is your stash.... she just says too BIG!!!! I can attest to that... well not toooooo big, but big.MomDeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17246955669067741027noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290900827347621962.post-15370579925693894442014-08-20T13:49:00.000-07:002014-08-20T13:49:31.058-07:00Tuesday, August 19thAugust Meeting<br />
<br />
A beautiful night in August for our meeting. There were 11 members present. We were unable to read the minutes. We will catch up with those next time. Shelly has been to the bank and all name transfers have been done. IT'S OFFICIAL>... IT'S OFFICIAL> Shelly is our treasurer. She had no activity this month, so our balance remains the same.<br />
<br />
Roxie reported on the charity quilting. Just to reemphasize walker bags should be 15 inches square with 8" straps folded in 1/2. Velcro closures are probably be best, but buttons could be used too. Shirley showed us all the walker bags she had made. They were lovely. She lined hers and did a great job, as always. Charity quilts should measure 40x40. Dorothy tried her talent at the "expanding block" that Shelly demonstrated last month, and has a top ready for us.<br />
<br />
Roxie is going to schedule a sew day on Sept 6th starting at 9:30.<br />
<br />
We finalized the Shop Hop info. We will meet at 8:30 at the Bakery in Walnut on Aug. 23.. Luann, Sharon, and Roxie will drive. We should have plenty of room with 3 cars.<br />
<br />
Everyone was reminded to bring their 1 yard Challenge quilt at the next meeting on September 16th. There may be prizes..... lol<br />
<br />
We had show and share and as always there were lots of great quilts <br />

<br />
Here are a couple links that may help you out if you are interested in making a tube quilt.<br />
<br />
Elaine is going to do the program next month. It is Sept. Surprise. Everyone should bring a needle and thread for her demo.<br />
<br />
We played Quilto and Shirley won.... yeah... she received all the lavender strips. Next month we should bring fall leaves 2 1/2 inch WOF... fall colors . <br />
<br />
New Business included talk of the Christmas party. It was decided to have it on December 9th at 6:00. We will meet at Dorine's home. Everyone will bring finger food to share. Dorine will have soda and water... if you want something else , please bring that yourself. We should bring a $10 homemade item for a gift exchange and you should also bring your secret sisters gift. Secret sisters will be revealed that night. <br />
<br />
We also decided to provide the Secretary, Charmayne , a roll of stamps and an allowance for cards that she sends to members. We will also try to reimburse her for past cards and postage that she has sent. <br />
<br />
We also discussed providing a reimbursement for the drivers for the shop hop. Since our treasury is healthy we will give $40 to each driver. If the occupants of the cars want to do more that is up to them.<br />
<br />
Sally is collecting quilts for the Carsten's Farm event Sept 6-7th. She will not be able to attend, so would like to get all quilts before the 4th of Sept. If any of you have them, either bring to the Shop hop, or call Sally to make arrangements. If you haven't been to Carsten's, it is great fun, they have vendors and displays.... fun for hubbies too. <br />
<br />
Another busy night, with lots to discuss, and laugh about.<br />
<br />
We are especially keeping Charmayne and Shirley in our thoughts and prayers.<br />
<br />
See you all at the Shop hop or on Sept. 16th at our next meeting.MomDeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17246955669067741027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290900827347621962.post-80994140665511969122014-07-25T11:47:00.002-07:002014-07-25T11:47:44.519-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
