New Business:

Chairperson of words, Jolene Clark

Privacy Policy: Checked other guilds and provincial policies and they are all

different.

Non profit organizations – it is not necessary as we have no commercial

activity. Fundraising is ok. Commercial activity is selling and bartering

membership list which we do not do.

We have a clause in the membership registration form for permission for

picture in directory and web site. Dorothy Davis will get the list so that those

people’s pictures are not posted.

Motion that a line will be added to the Duties of Executive Members and

Committee chairs to regarding the privacy policy. Motion made by Catherine

Sutherland, discussion and seconded by Shelley Dionne.

There was also a discussion regarding security concerns and lists going out.

Committee Reports as published in Newsletter: Catherine Sutherland and

Maxine O’Donnell

Community Quilts Kathy Boone

As per the newsletter we are behind about 8-10 quilts. Asking if anyone is

making a quilt for the community quilts. There are cloth labels available to give

out for those people to put on the back of the quilts.

A good size for comfort quilts is 50” x 70”

Quilt kits for the Food Bank Quilts at the back if anyone is interested. 2 big

quilt kits are ready.

Baby Quilts have already been taken to URVH. They have about 12 so are

good for now.

If you are donating a quilt you have made after you show it at Show and Tell

please see Kathy Boone after so she can get the details.

Program

Tip of the month. If you miter your borders make sure they are an accurate

45 degrees. If you are out an 1/8 “ this equals 1/4", and if you do this twice,

it equals 1/2” which makes a wonky border and does not quilt out.

This month we are continuing the Pinwheel rearrangement to make more

blocks. We are also starting the Row by Row. The first row is Stockings. See

handout sheet for directions. Don’t forget the Canadian Quilters

Association (CQA) started the 52 bocks for 52 weeks. This is free on their

web site. If anyone missed the handouts for December or January please

see me . thanks Janet M
