Sheilagh welcomed the group and each member introduced herself.
Kristyn and Sheilagh spoke about several challenges for our local guild:
Riley Blake Stash Challenge
Canada 150: block should be something to do with Canada, finished size some multiple of three, white or light grey background, using the palette on the card given out at the meeting.
Quilts con/Quilt X: combined entry done by September for QuiltEx using block pattern provided fourteen times on the front and once enlarged on the back to combine the requirements for QuiltEx and the Quiltcon theme of "scale".
June meeting: Triangles workshop with Nancy Trowbridge. So no regular meeting.

SWO Mod Quilt Retreat at Elmhurst: was a big success. Nice chance to meet modern quilters from other guilds. Pam spoke about the "loot" and the take home project. Will be done again in 2018.
