Quilt Con Charity Quilt
As part of the QuiltCon Block Challenge hosted by the Modern Quilt Guild - Columbus Modern Quilt Guild received a set of blocks made across the country to turn into a charity quilt for the Austin Children's Shelter. Thanks to Kathy and Barb for coordinating all the efforts and to everyone who pitched in on the quilt (especially Catie's amazing quilting!) Here are a few shots of the finished quilt, bound and washed and ready to be shipped to Austin!

Rainbow Jelly Roll Swap Rules!
As promised, here is the info on our jelly roll swap. Bring your strips to the February meeting and you'll have your jelly rolls at the March meeting.
The purpose of this swap - for those who want to join - is to exchange jelly roll strips so that we all end up with a roll of rainbow colors. You only have to bring one color of fabric and you'll come home with the full rainbow! Sound fun?
If you weren't at the January meeting you can still participate! Just bring your 20 fabric strips to the February meeting. We signed up for colors just to make sure that everyone didn't bring red fabric (or pink, etc.) but now that we have the whole rainbow covered, if you want to join in, just pick a color and go for it!

The Rules:
- Fabric should be 100% high quality quilter's cotton (from a Local Quilt Shop or reputable online quilt fabric store - Please no JoAnn or Hobby Lobby fabric allowed)
- Your fabric should "read" the color you signed up for, but it can have small flecks of other colors if you choose. Please no solids, it should have a pattern to it. If you have any questions please just email Jaclyn
- Do NOT pre-wash your fabric.
- Fabric should be pre-cut into 2 1/2 inch strips totaling 20 strips per sign up.
- You can sign up twice and bring 40 strips of fabric if you want to receive extra strips.
- Bring strips in a ziplock bag labeled with your name and email address and/or phone number.
- Fabric is to be brought to the Feb. meeting or if you can't make the meeting you are more than welcome to drop it off at my house in Westerville by March 1st.
- If you didn't sign up at the January meeting and want to participate it's not too late.

See you Thursday!
Just a quick reminder - Our holiday party is coming up Thursday, December 20th!
It will start at 7 pm Karen’s in Upper Arlington at 3857 Fairlington at 7 pm (thanks, Karen!). If at the time of the meeting you have anything that you crafted for Christmas, please bring it for show and tell.
Speaking of sharing, please feel free to bring an appetizer or other nibbly food to enjoy with the adult beverages which you can also bring along to share (thank goodness our mothers taught us to share!).
Games!
Ugly Fabric Game! We'll have a white elephant ugly fabric gift exchange again this year - please bring a piece of ugly, wrapped fabric to participate in the exchange. If you don't have any ugly fabric, I'm sure there's a few folks who can bring an extra to share the ugly fabric wealth.
Pretty Fabric Game! If you like, you can also bring a yard of pretty, modern fabric for our fabric musical musical chairs game that we played at the November meeting, and a pair of scissors. Everyone had a fun time and we want to play again!
Fabric Challenge Update We also have our Madrona Road fabric in for our challenge from the Modern Quilt Guild. Please sign up here if you are interested in participating in the challenge so we can make sure there is enough fabric for everyone. The fabric will be handed out at the December and January meetings for those interested.
