 Extreme Quilting
Can a quilt guild
match "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" at its own game?
The
Miami Valley Quilters' Guild took on the challenge of
creating seven quilts for the James Terpenning Family of
Beavercreek, Ohio, when they were announced as the fortunate
family to receive a newly constructed home as part of the
2009 season of the television series "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition." For the television show, a family is selected to
receive a new home which is constructed within a one-week
timeframe. The Miami Valley Quilters' Guild wanted to
do a special community project and took on an exciting
challenge.

February 2009 Board
of Directors' Meeting
The Miami Valley Quilters' Guild Board of Directors' meeting on
February 4, 2009, was called to order by Susan Hill at the
Beavercreek Library.
Statutory members in attendance were: Mary C. Miller,
Treasurer; Ed Chamness, Recording Secretary; Debbie Bertke,
Corresponding Secretary; and Ron Lundquist, Immediate Past
President. Vice President Shari Brindley was absent.
Committee Chairs
in attendance were: Newsletter, Chris Garcher and Linda
Adams; Kathy Wrinkle, Library; Diane McClane, Sunshine; and
Janet Stohr, Demonstrations.
There was no action requiring official
action by the Board.
Susan introduced Diane McClain who will do Sunshine and Janet
Stohr who will chair Demonstrations, and announced that Karen Engel
will chair the on-going Fons & Porter subscription fund raiser.
There is still the need for someone to chair Hospitality.
Because February is a short month and includes the Retreat, it
was suggested that materials for the March Newsletter be
submitted by Thursday, February 19, to allow for adequate
preparation. The addition of a
short term advertiser was announced and
there was discussion about the return of two former advertisers
and potential new ones.
Kathy Wrinkle announced that the library plans to spend half of
its 2009 budget in the near future and reserve the remainder for
later in the year to purchase newly published books. Suggestions
for books to be added to the Library should be forwarded to
Kathy or to Heidi Young.
Mary presented the Treasurer's Report to be presented at the
February meeting and Ron reported on the treasury balance for
the 2010 Quilt Show.
Diane indicated that members can contact her by e-mail or by
phone to report members who might appreciate cards from the
Guild. She also reported as a member of the Retreat
Committee that plans are in place and that they are still
seeking donation for goodie bags and door prizes.
Other items discussed included the 2009 Challenge, the Anita
Shackelford Workshop, the upcoming bus trip to Chicago and
participation in the March program of demonstrations by guild
members.
The next Board next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday,
May 6, at the Beavercreek Library.
