We had several announcements and reminders that CJMQG members can find in our newsletter and on BigTent. Reminder that the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza is September 15-18, and that nonmember registration is open for two upcoming workshops and our fall retreat. We discussed location and pricing possibilities for having a second retreat in 2017, and talked about our options for 2017's QAL/BOM.
Blocks for our QuiltCon charity quilt are due by the September meeting, but some have been finished already!
