Upcoming November meeting


Our Quilt Guild meeting will be November 9th at 11:00 am at the library. We will be continuing with a Block of the Month theme.  The wonderful thing about BOMs is their versatility. Put three together for a table runner for every day use, or construct them with holiday or seasonal fabrics for special occasion use. Put a few more together for a wall hanging or add even more for a bed quilt.  We will build upon block techniques learned last year and we think you will love learning the new blocks selected for this year. If you have a favorite style block you would like to demonstrate, just let Cathy know and we will put you on the calendar.

Here is our November block:




It may look difficult but with the instructions it will be easier than you think..

Great Meeting Yesterday!

We had such a super meeting yesterday...But first up was the show and tell!

Cindy Day has been busy making quilts




Susan Paxton finished her pink and orange quilt

Donna made this magical quilt


And Cathy made another Quatrefoil quilt

Georgia showed us a cute witch she made


And then we had a real treat... Connie Martin did a quilt show for us. This was real eye candy and lots of inspiration for us.  She told us how she started quilting and stories of each of the quilts.


























 This next one is call a Joseph Smith Tribute Quilt.  Connie numbered the blocks and told us what each block represented.  Everyone loved this one.


After all of this wonderfulness both Arlene's treated us to Salads and Bread Sticks from 5 Buck Pizza.  All in all it was a fun and enlightening meeting.
