May Meeting Minutes

CHESTNUT RIDGE QUILTING GUILD
May Meeting

We began our meeting discussing possible projects for the next year. Some of the ideas were: Block of the Month - either Redwork, New York Beauty or similar theme for each month. The officers have met and drawn up a schedule for the year. We will have 12 different Star block patterns for the June meeting and we may choose to do a different pattern each month or use one pattern to make as many blocks as we wish. Pat will have copies of these 12 star patterns at the June meeting and she plans to have a sample of the first one.

We showed our lap robes for the County Home, a few had their quilt tops assembled for the year and other projects were shown. We also discussed other project ideas some of which will be included in this years meetings. Thank you to Ruth for the delicious cake and lemonade.
