Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild November 14, 2023

 November 14, 2023

 

President Maribeth welcomed everyone to the meeting and introduced guests and new members.

It was reported that the basket donated by the Syracuse Guild to the silent auction at Quiltfest brought in $150.  Amazing and thank you to Nancy who put the basket together.

Door prizes were awarded and birthdays recognized.  The group voted to hold our Christmas Luncheon on December 12 at Chris’ Café in Clearfield.  More information will be shared prior to the luncheon.    

State Quilt Guild Announcements:  Suzanne, our Area Representative gave an update on Quilltfest, including the fact that Quilltfest has been moved up to August 20-24 due to scheduling issues in October.  More details are available online at Utah Quilt Guild.org.  The guilds are being asked to perhaps donate luncheon table prizes for next year.  Also reminded that the Auction baskets must include only new materials.  They also need lots of volunteers to pull off a successful fest.

The group honored Margo Faccini, a member and former President of the Guild with memories and stories of Margo.  She will be missed.

Nancy shared this beautiful quilt that Margo made for her and shared the story of their shared battle with cancer that Margo lost this year.
