Meeting canceled

I'm sorry to say I think we can call the January meeting of the QCC canceled. Maggie

January Meeting

Our January meeting is this Saturday. And with the possibility of snow in the forecast we are going to review weather conditions by 9:00 a.m. and then post to this blog if the meeting is canceled or not. 

If you already know you are unable to attend this meeting please let Maggie and me know.  This may also influence if the meeting is canceled or not. If we do not have a meeting all information that needs to be discussed at the meeting will be emailed to you individually so we can still get every one's answers and comments. Allowing us to move forward and plan the February meeting and demo.

We have lots to discuss with the start of a new year. So we will not have a Demo this Saturday. Please bring what you are currently working on or what you have completed over since the last meeting for show tell.

Meeting Agenda is to discuss guild goals for this year. There are two new Challenges for the guild. One is an on-going Start to Finish Project Challenge and the other is a Clay Extruder "Disc" challenge. Last year, several mentioned doing art fairs or craft shows. We heard you and are considering plans to do that this year and want to put together a list of participants, goals and discuss deadlines. Also what Demo's do you want to see this year and how that will combine with the Start to Finish Project Challenge.  

 Thank you

December Meet-up

We had a great time showing off ornaments we've made or plan to make, and the tutes didn't happen as we were so busy happily visiting.  Food was varied and endless.  It was a fun and social event.  Merry Christmas to all!  Looking forward to a happy new year with new ideas and activities.

Attendees:  Maggie, Pattie, Cheryl, Nancy, Julie, Lynn, Laurie, Jennie, and Kathy

Dec 12
Just a quick reminder that our Queens City Meeting will be on the 12th at noon.  We will be making various ornaments so bring your usual clay things and colors and we'll share ideas.  It is a social meet up as well, so bring something to share in the line of food and we will be certain to have a good time.
See you there.

October Meet-Up

What an interesting meeting!  Maggie brought some of her goodies from the telephone exchange, Nancy brought her pieces that she used for her quick class of wire wrap, Jennie brought her friend Tony who had multiple jewelry items to show and Jennie showed some of her pieces as well.  Great fun to see everyone's extraordinary talents!

Business:  There will be NO meeting in November.  December meeting will be the second Saturday in Dec rather than the usual date.  We will plan for ornament tutes and pot luck.  Do not forget!!!  Looking forward to seeing all the Christmas ideas.

Meeting:  Jennie gave us a quick lesson on the square kumihimo.  Awesome technique and we are told once you've done it a few times it comes easily.  Directions are important for your first endeavor!  Thank you Jennie for taking the time to show us this great technique and carry in all those supplies so we could try out the method and make any purchases if needed.  Nancy will be setting up time to go see Jennie's bead shop again real soon so get your lists together for needs and let Nancy know; or join her in the ride; supplies are a necessary evil for this addiction we have! Probably won't be until first of the year the trip is made though.  Jennie brought her long time friend Tony and she showed us her awesome crafts!  Her beading was so awesome!  Her next visit she may hold a class so heads up!

Attendees:  Maggie, Cheryl, Nancy, Jennie, Tony, Lynn,

October Meeting

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Our meeting is this Saturday starting at 12 noon.

Jenny will be demonstrating the square Kumihimo braiding technique and will be available to assist with any finishing touches you may need help with on your other Kumihimo project that we did a few months ago. Otherwise, this will be an open artwork day. So bring your current clay project to work on during the meeting. Hope to see you on Saturday.

New Bracelet Inpired by Cheryl Smith

Had fun at the last meeting where the demo was a cane by Cheryl Smith. I wanted to share the bracelet that I made from a cane that I made once I got home from the meeting. Thanks, Cheryl.
