    Maitland, Cassie Miller, Terry Murphy, Peggy Ross, Cindy Rudolph, Debbie Shemorry, Nancy
    Straub, Cathy Sweeney and Lynette Westendorf
    1. Echo Dying – Recap of Echo Dying class with instructor, Kat, held in July at the home of
    Lesley Allen. The consensus of the attendees is that the class was fun and informative.
    A big thank you goes to member, Terry Murphy, who arranged for this great class.

    2. Monthly Meetings – Discussion was held regarding holding our monthly meetings in
    person and with a Zoom option. Shelli is going to contact Cordell-Neher to check
    availability and Zoom equipment. It is essential that all members feel included and that
    those who attend via Zoom are able to hear the meeting. Cordell-Neher may have
    “Owl” equipment that could meet our needs. The Guild agreed to pursue this on a
    “trial” basis and agreed that the January, 2025 meeting would be held via Zoom only
    due to weather.

    3. Fall-2024 Retreat
    a. The Fall Retreat will be held from Thursday evening, October 24 th through 3:00
    PM on Sunday, October 27 th at the basement office of Cordell-Neher, 175 East
    Penny Rd., Wenatchee.
    b. The Retreat will replace our October Guild meeting and the “Saturday Sew In”.
    c. The cost for the Retreat is $25; please notify Thea @
    blueheronquilting@gmail.com of your intention to attend and please mail the
    $25 registration fee to CWMQG, P. O. Box 3299, Wenatchee, WA 98807 by
    September 30, 2024. Cordell-Neher has been so generous with our Guild and all
    they ask is that each of us donate can(s) of food to be given to the Food Bank.
    Please include this as part of the cost of the Retreat.
    d. Thursday night: There will be a “Hand Sewing Happy Hour” and “Show & Tell.”
    Please Bring appetizers & drinks to share.
    e. Friday: For lunch, there will be a main course salad included; please feel free to
    bring additional items. Dinner will be provided by Guild members; there will be
    a sign-up sheet for main course, side dishes and dessert.
    f. Saturday: For lunch, there will be a main course salad included; please feel free
    to bring additional items. Pizza will be provided; please feel free to bring
    additional items.
    g. Sunday: No meals provided.
    h. There will be at least two activities: “Dimensional Stitching” and “Paper Collage”
    exercise that may inspire a quilt. Examples of Dimensional Stitching and Paper
    Collage will be shown at the September Guild Meeting.
    i. The Guild members chose to forgo games this year.

    4. Saturday Sew-In – The Saturday sew-ins have not been well attended. There will be a
    Saturday sew-in on September 21 st from 9-3 and in November, 16 th . For the year 2025,

    the Guild will meet on the 3 rd Saturday of the month for January, February, March, April
    and September. There will be no Saturday sew-ins from May-August.

    5. Board Member Terms – A proposal was made by Thea, our Guild Vice-President that
    Board Member terms be reduced from two years to one year plus an additional two
    months to act as support to the incoming Board Members. The outgoing Board should
    be required to plan the January meeting along with the new Board members to assure a
    smooth transition. Board members could be re-elected for up to 4 consecutive terms.
    This would require a change to our Bylaws. No decision made at this time.

    6. Variety Show Discussion
    a. Participants were asked to name a “non-quilting” tool or item that is especially
    helpful. Tools/items listed include: clear tackle box, pencil holders, cardboard
    tubes to wrap quilts around for storage, magnetic stick to pick up pins (Harbor
    Freight), flannel-lined tablecloth to lay out quilt and roll back up for storage, and
    many others.
    b. Participants were asked to share ideas for future programs including: Quilting
    our quilts, Free Motion Quilting, sponsoring an instructor/trunk show and
    possible quilt challenges such as architectural, geometric, photo, nature, travel,
    view out my window, fabric challenge (designer-type-color-style) and
    transparency quilts.

    7. “What If” Challenge
    a. You tried out one or two of the non-quilt-specific or quilt-specific items
    discussed tonight?

        1.      Susie Decker presentation re Freddy Moran:  – Freddy Moran was an artist/quilter who was born in 1930 and passed away earlier this year.  She started her quilting journey at age 60.  She wrote two books:  Freddy’s and Collaborative Quilting and there is an in-depth interview with her found on the website “Thequiltshow.com” with Alex Alexander.  Susie presented Freddy’s technique of making faces using raw edge applique.  Required supplies include: glue stick, scissors, pinking shears, fabric, paper, pencil and a friction pen.  To begin, choose a background fabric approximately 18 x 24.  Draw a face on a piece of paper with a long, thin neck.  Transfer the design to fabric and glue it to the background fabric.  Choose fabric for hair, eyes, nose, mouth, clothing, etc. and perhaps jewelry.  Glue all of the fabric to the background fabric.  The last step is to add batting and backing fabric and then sew, using a straight stitch,  around all of the pieces.
