| At our Regular Meeting on Wednesday January 17 2024 I presented an idea for our Auxiliary to make a Patriotic Quilt to Raffle off at our Annual Car Show in May. This would be a group project and not everyone needs to know how to sew. I presented the idea that we have different ""teams"" for each stage. A ""Design Team."" they would research and collaborate and have a few patterns for us to select ""THE"" Quilt that we want to represent us. A ""Shopping Team"" after pattern selection they would be the ones to go and select the fabrics for it. The ""Cut Team"" they would be the ones to gather and cut all the pieces out and label them. Then the ""Sewing Team"" They are our seamstresses ironers and thread trimmers. Then we have a friend Ranielle who has a Quilting business who is willing to donate her services to quilt it and label it. And then back to me to ""Bind"" it. The Auxiliary voted in favor of this project. On Monday January 22 2024 our President Julia Owens Jr. Vice Amanda Smith and myself met at Ranialle's house to look at her quilting machine and patterns. after about an hour of looking at designs and narrowing them down. We finally chose 5 of her patterns which she donated for our use. We also preselected the ""Quilting"" stitches and label for when the time comes. |
