January Meeting Cancelled

All,
      I sincerely would like to apologize to anyone who showed up to Anna's tonight and was disappointed to find the store completely dark. Unfortunately, the power in the plaza went out around 4pm, and by the time it came back on, most everyone that we had information for were notified that the meeting was cancelled. So, we will have to move this month's agenda to the February meeting. Since there is a silver lining in every cloud, everyone will get an extra month to rework, redo or even actually make your Challenge piece (like me)!
     We will also be rectifying the situation with contact information- it just so happens that I brought to this months meeting index cards for everyone to fill out more complete contact information than just your email address. So next meeting, we can all fill out cards so the officers can call everyone in case of another emergency! I also have been toying around with the idea of creating a Facebook page for the Guild-please let me know what you think- not everyone is on Facebook and I wasn't sure how everyone would feel about that.
       So, February  21 will be the next meeting- don't forget to bring your Zen Tangle Challenge piece and your bag of fabrics for the Gee's Bend Fabric Swap Challenge! I will send out the reminder post on Feb 14.

Thank You and Sorry For Any Inconvenience...

Reminder

Hey, everyone! I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!! I just wanted to remind everyone that the next meeting will be next week on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 7pm. As always, we will be meeting at Anna's Sewing Center at 24357 Lorain Rd, North Olmsted, Oh 44070. Don't forget to bring your Challenge #1 piece (inspired by Zentangles) and your bag of fabrics for the fabric swap for the next challenge- Gee's Bend inspired piece using all of the fabrics in the bag you choose (no less than 8 different fabrics- must be enough to make an 18"x18" wall hanging). Since this is the Gee's Bend Challenge, anything goes for fabrics (jeans, shirts, scraps- whatever you want to put in your bag). All fabrics must be put in a gallon sized ziplock bag inside a brown paper bag (so you can't see what's inside) and then during this meeting we will swap. This Challenge will be due at the April 17th meeting. Details can also be found on the recap from the last meeting. I will be adding this challenge to the Challenge page after this meeting.

Thanks and see you there!!
