The meeting was called to order by President Barb Kelly at 6:30pm at the Ohio Craft
Museum.
Barb Kelly presented the icebreaker.
Barb announced that the guild would be following a policy for sharing other peoples
work other than your own. If a quilt is shown, permission from the creator/owner
is required.
Barb asked for volunteers for a nominating committee for 2023 officers. Cynthia
Hayes, Nicole, and Barb volunteered.

The current cost for the Ohio Craft Museum for our meetings is $45.
Alternative sites for 2023 were discussed which include returning to libraries and
the possibility of going to Sew to Speak since they volunteered to have us. Barb will
check into this further and report back to the guild.
Programs
Shop Hop to Cincinnati was a great success and enjoyed by all. One of the locations
also offered a retreat space close by. Members are encouraged to send an email to
the guild for ideas on future retreats.
The November 10th meeting will feature a member quilting project: fabric star. Lissa will
be sending instructions to members via email for those who wish to participate.
The December meeting will be a party at Seventh Son Brewing Co. where we will have space for our
meeting (no cost because we are a non-profit). Members would use the Food Truck for food
purchases. Every single beer or alcohol purchase will result in $1.00 donated
to the guild! Non-alcoholic beverages available.
The December meeting will have a gift exchange called Favorite Things. Each member is asked to bring 3
notions, each valued between $10-$15 (no higher please). Further instructions
regarding the exchange will be sent to members via email.

January will feature our local MQG rep Heather Kinion.
Prior to COVID, the guild had contracted with Sherry Lynn Wood for a presentation
and workshop. A retainer of $200 was paid by the guild. After some discussion, the
guild will cancel the event and will request a refund.

During our search for speakers for the March ’23 Event, Nancy Crowe could not attend
but offered to have the guild come to her “barn” for a tour and visit. We are
planning to explore this activity for Spring 2023.

card for each group participating.
