June 2015
Hello AIQ Guild members,
As we welcome summer, we say goodbye to our
AIQ meetings until September. Please remember that the June meeting will be a potluck and
will begin at 6:30pm instead of 7pm. Roz Warren will be officiating the June meeting, as I will
be teaching out of town. I am looking forward to
seeing everyone back again in the fall. I hope
everyone will spend some of their summer quilting, and we will have lots of quilts to Show and
Tell on Tuesday, September 8th. Have a great
summer!
Leslie Kiger
June Program: POT LUCK!
In lieu of a program this month we will be having our annual end of year Pot Luck.
Please bring a dish of your choice. New officers will be installed and the 2014-15
finances will be reviewed with membership.
Next year’s program roster is filling with interesting topics, including three national
speakers and three workshops. Speakers are still needed for a few months next
year…September, February and April. If you have a topic that you think would be of
interest, please get with Julie Keith ([email protected]).
Happy summer!

MEETING MINUTES
May 12, 2015
President Leslie Kiger called the meeting to order
at 7 PM. Three guests were introduced. April
2015 minutes were approved with motion from
Stuart Vanderbloemen. A thank you note was
received from Habitat for Humanity recipients.
Membership Sherry Cobb-Thompson announced
May birthdays. Membership form can be found in
the newsletter. Roz Warren, Vice President, will
chair the June meeting since Leslie will be
teaching a quilt class in Hattiesburg. Programs
Julie Keith asked members to complete program
feedback form and leave at the door on exiting.
Old Business: Cyndee Brown, Quilt Show CoChair, discussed storage costs for the wood frames
used in previous years. Since a contractor is now
used for quilt frames, storage is needed only to
store two metal racks, storage bins with signs, and
miscellaneous items. Dell Dunman will check on
downsizing storage and fee and Julie Keith will
store the two metal quilt racks for program use.

adding a $5.00 entry fee per quilt, with a max of
three quilts per category. There was discussion on
category limits and entry fee based on the higher
rental fee at the Atlantic Recreation Center site as
well as tent rental to extend the space. The entry
fee could assist in expense containment.
Information on budget was requested. Treasurer
Patsy Troxell reported $14,000 in 2 CDs with
staggered maturity dates and approximately
$6,000 in checking, but exact treasury figures were
not available tonight.
The 2014 Quilt Show final expenses and profit,
review of affiliated rollover annual costs, and
impact of income on nonprofit status were
requested to determine the anticipated 2017 Quilt
Show costs. A Treasurer’s report will be brought to
the June AIQ meeting.
Two motions and one motion withdrawal were
brought to the floor:
1.
Cynthia Janney motioned to have no
charge for entry fee per quilt and no limit on entries
per category.
Leslie reports the 2015-2016 slate of officers will
remain the same as this year, with one change;
Andrea Golding is nominated for Membership. No
nominations were added. The current slate was
accepted. Sherry was thanked for her service.
2.
Mary Williams motioned to table the
discussion until more information can be provided
by the Treasurer’s report.
Other Announcements: Leslie entered a quilt in
the Machine Quilters Showcase in Grand Rapids,
and the same quilt will then be going to the NQA
Show in Little Rock. Leslie asked members to
consider quilt entries for the September
Jacksonville QuiltFest.
Membership accepted the above action. Following
the receipt of Treasurer’s report by the
membership in June, President Leslie Kiger stated
that further discussion will occur at the September
meeting.
2017 Quilt Show: Cyndee Brown, Co-Chair,
reports the show will be 2/16 (setup) to 2/18 at the
Atlantic Recreation Center. Chairs are still needed
for Raffles and also Basket Raffle. Boutique items
in the $5 to $20 range will be needed. Dell
Dunman listed show categories with new
categories added. One challenge quilt will be
Pirate Legends of Amelia Island, with a fabric
swatch yet to be determined. A second challenge
will be Quilts of Valor, with ribbons to the quilter as
well as the recipient.
Based on the Quilt Show Committee planning
meeting discussion, Dell Dunman recommended
3.
Cynthia Janney withdrew her motion.

Valor Note:
Talked with Alycia in CO near the Wounded Warrior barracks. She
will be short of QOV quilts in July. That gives us plenty of time to
stitch some red, white and blue treasures for her. Thanks quilters for
making this a priority project!
