March 2020 Meeting - Virtual

LMQG - Welcome to our first ever Virtual meeting!

We'll be hosting a shorter than usual meeting on Zoom (time limit is 40 minutes). Please check your email for the invite. Try logging in at least 5 min before the meeting. 

We look forward to seeing you, sharing our experiences, and what we've been working on while staying safe at home.

Agenda

Quilt Journey

Member Albie Osborn has shared a wonderful presentation with us going over her quilting journey. We'll share this with members as our own inspiration. How has your quilting journey compared? Please comment here or on our Facebook page!

Virtual show and tell

Covid-19 has been a challenge to us, our community and our world. We'll share how it's affected us and what we're working on. This will be our virtual show and tell, so have your projects at the ready to show via your webcam, I-pad, phone, or other camera device. 

For those that don't have this capability, please feel free to email your pictures to Elisa (drquiltpath@gmail.com) and, if you aren't able, we'll of course see your projects when we meet again in person.

Mentor-Mentee

• Thanks to everyone that's volunteered to be part of this group. Mentors and mentees will be paired to explore a technique to show at the end of the year. 
• We'll send out mentors and mentees. Please, meet safely. For those that need help meeting virtually, please email our executive board for help.

Looking forward to "seeing" you soon!

Covid-19 and Upcoming March Meeting

Hello LMQG members – 

Mary and Phyllis here.  Just some things we thought we should inform you about.

First of all, we will not meet this month in person, but will have a virtual meeting.  You will all be informed as to the time and date of the meeting, and you will only need internet to get into the meeting.  We want to keep our guild community going even if we can’t meet face to face. 

There will be no in-person events for the time being, but we will continue as before as soon as it is safe to meet again. The IQM is closed and we expect it to reopen when deemed safe.

We also plan to have a virtual sew day.  We’ll send you an email to let you know all the details about this fun day and how you can participate.

Now, are you all up for a challenge?  Remember 9/11 and all the 9/11 quilts?  Well, here is your challenge, make a Covid Quilt. Covid and what it’s meant to you.  It can be interpreted any way you want (maybe a virus, social distancing, or perhaps toilet paper?) Try to keep it wall size, but be creative. Anything goes!   We’ll let you know when these are due, but just start putting ideas together and get started.

Above all……..be safe,

Mary and Phyllis
