This past meeting was a workshop meeting where we made some headway on the last service quilt. The ladies worked in unison and conversed at the same time. Very little of business was discussed, however, there was a discussion to decide on our location for the Christmas exchange and dinner. It was agreed that we would meet at the church and have a pot luck dinner at our last meeting of the year. Another topic for discussion was the September 26th meeting. The Laurels Nursing home had asked if the members would like to demonstrate and discuss quilting to the residents. It was agreed upon that we would except their offer and on the night of September 26th at 7:00 pm we will met at the Laurels Nursing Home formally the Firelands Rehabilitation Center on the west side of New London.
Our show and tell was festive in the seasons. Chris Porter had completed a few small quilts that got us all geared up the for fall season with this pumpkin table topper.
Bring us back to summer with this interchangeable wall hanging
Fall again,
and let's not forget about Winter.
Chris has been also busy giving her new machine quite and exercise. Check out the quilting in the next three photos.
Chris had said to us not to mind the applique showing through on the back. We are all good with it Chris! They all look great!
Before long the time had flown by and it was time to go until the next meeting. But before we all left we said farewell to our snowbird Marsha for another winter season. Where did the tine go? Marsha just arrived so it seemed like. Anyway, Marsha if you are reading this we hope you are well and looking for your return in the spring.
Well everyone that concludes this meeting.
Until next time.... Happy Quilting!
