BROCHURE FOR THE GROUP
The member working on the group's brochure (Linda Bennett) did not attend and we don't have an updated
status on her progress.
CHALLENGE QUILTS
> We decided on the name "Quilted Inspirations" for the display.
> Quilts are to be turned in at the September meeting (which happens to be at Dottie Bettiker's - Coordinator of
Challenge Quilts - home
> We would like to have the brochure done by the time we start sending out the trunk show.
> Each member who is making a quilt should email the following information regarding their quilt to Mary Zeitz -
what type of batting and thread was used and what is the quilting design (was it a panto, freehand, a
particular method??). Mary and Pat Waldron will come up with some type of label or tag that will be attached to
the quilt showing a picture of the quilt and this information so that the people viewing the quilt will know the
details. The tag will be laminated so it is durable.
> Mary will also create a sign that can be displayed with the quilts. It will say:
The Ohio LongArm Quilters
presents
"Quilted Inspirations"
A trunk show created by professional longarm quilters.
If you would like to request this display for your quilt show or guild,
please visit www.longarmohio.com for details.
> Mary will generate the Contract and Policy and provide them to Dottie Bettiker.
> The email address trunkshow@longarmohio.com will be set up for requests/ information about the display.
The emails will go to Dottie.
> The first possible location for the display is at the October NEORQC meeting. Sarah Bistline will contact the right
person and get them in touch with Dottie Bettiker.
> If anyone has ideas for other locations, please email your suggestions to Dottie. She will set up a schedule as
she receives requests.
> Mary found an Insurance company in Arizona that provides a policy for displays of this type. Cost per year is
$1.07 per $100 of value with a $500 deductible. We need to have at least one of the quilts appraised to
establish a value and we need to have good pictures and documentation of each quilt.
LOGO DESIGN
Linda Miller made up a couple more samples of the logos she created that can be embroidered on a shirt or other
apparel. The new designs incorporate the outline of the state of Ohio and are smaller. Visit the LOGO page to
view the designs and for instructions on how to get your item to Linda.
MACHINE SERVICE
Several members have information on resources available to us for machine maintenance and service. Visit the
Information page for details.
It was suggested that anyone who is having a technician come to their home/studio for service should post an
email to the Yahoo group with the date. This way, others can possibly take advantage of getting the tech to visit
them if he or she is close to their area.
NEXT MEETING
August 21st at Amy Jones studio. See the meeting page for details.
