September 8, 2022 – In-person meeting at the Ohio Craft Museum
Meeting was called to order at 6:30pm with 12 members present.
President’s report:
A new Knit and crochet sewing circle is being created
The Sewing Hive has a class on design and printing your own fabric. Go to http://www.sewinghive.com for
more information.
De-stash on the lawn (by Sew to Speak in Worthington) is scheduled for 10/1. The Guild will purchase 2
tables to sell remnants and promote our guild. We need volunteers to staff the tables between 9am and
noon. Please let Barb or Lissa know if you can help.
Redbubble now has COMQG swag available for order on demand (you may need to look up our design
as COMGQ). Shipping is free for orders over $65.
Cincinnati shop hop 9/24 – Meet at the Grove City Library at 8am. We’ll visit 4 Cincinnati area shops. At
least two will have special deals for us that day. Please RSVP to Lissa if you plan to attend.
We have committed to a make & take project for the Ohio Craft Museum on January 14, 2023 as part of
our agreement to use their space for our meetings. Please contact Lissa with any project ideas you may
have. They need to be fairly quick and easy so even kids can complete within a short time.
We need to determine if we want to continue to meet at the Ohio Craft Museum or look for another
venue for our meetings where we may not have to pay a fee.
Community Outreach Quilt. Erica Olivares-Vincent is heading up the committee. The winning designer is
Jeny Marie. Block kits were passed out at the meeting. If you signed up to piece a block, please have
those finished by the 11/5 sew-in. Jeny sent out instructions in an email on 9/9 with the instructions.
Proceeds from the sale of the Community Outreach Quilts will go to the Carrier Steele Pitts home and
the Children’s Sickle Cell Disease program at Childrens Health Care of Atlanta. Please have your blocks
finished by the 11/5 sew-in. We will use that time to construct the quilt top. Also, please save your
scraps.
Secretary’s report: We have 15 members participating in the postcard challenge. Postcards will be
exchanged at the October 13 Guild meeting. If you cannot make it to the 10/13 meeting, please let
Susan know. We’ll make arrangements to get your postcards to your team members and pick up those
made for you.
Columbus Makes Art Passports are back again this year. You can pick up Passports any time. Collect
stickers 9/1 through 10/31 and redeem your passports for prizes during the month of November. Go to
