Announcements:
Charter member Margeret King died. After checking with the funeral home to find out what the families preferences were Debbie Baue moved that we donate $50 to Belmont Baptist Church in Margaret King's memory. Pat G seconded the motion and the it passed unanimously.
Cobb County quilt guild show will be held September 18-20 at the Cobb County Civic Center.
Troy Cross is interested in starting a quilt kit business. He would like to have someone sew for him. He would like someone who thinks outside of the box. The person would help to create the kit, chose colors and borders plus sewing. If interested please call him at 706-629-1814 or email him at brotherly_servant@yahoo.com

Old Business:
The quilt show will be in the last week of October. We passed out the quilt show entry forms. Please bring them to the October business meeting.
The challenge quilts are due in October also. There have been some confusion on the Challenge rules, so we discussed letting people enter quilts that have been professionally quilted but not be judged in that category. This was later revised and we will not be judging the quilts, but everyone who brings a challenge quilt will be entered in a drawing.

New Business:
Work night is on Sept 28. Carrie will present Trapunto. We should either get a panel (cheater cloth) that you want to do trapunto on, or an existing pieced top and a design to quilt. We will need to bring water soluble thread, and batting both for the puffed parts and the quilt, and bring a sewing machine that allows you to drop the feed dogs or a business card to tape over the feed dogs.
