Sorry this is a little late. This blog author was a little under the weather for the lase few days, but enough of that.
Our April 24th meeting was basically a planning and informational meeting for the next few months. Plans were firmed up for our workshop held last Saturday, the 26th for finishing up the last two infant quilts for Eastman's. Unfortunately we were only able to finish one as we ran out of sashing fabric. One member volunteered to pick up extra fabric and get the last top together. Thanks to Yvonne for stitching up enough blocks for the second top.
May 8th will be our next meeting and the first of our meetings at the New London Alliance Church on St. Rt. 162 west of New London. Starting time is still the same, 7:00 p.m. Enter through the double doors off the main parking area. New members are always welcome.
May 31st, will be our next workshop at the NL Alliance Church starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 2:00 p.m. This is a come and go as you please. If we have a project that needs to be done this will be the time we will work on it as a group. If we aren't working on a project, we will still meet and you can bring anything of your own to work on and just enjoy the fellowship. Demonstrations will also be welcome at these Saturday workshops. If you have a new tip, ruler or just want to demonstrate putting together a block, please feel free to do so.
Ideas for service projects were discussed with quite a few mentioned. Also talked about were quilt shows and shop hops coming up this summer.
Our regular business meeting in June will be the 12th with another Saturday workshop on June 28th. This workshop we will be working on a purse pattern. If you are interested please contact any guild member or PM us on our facebook page and we will see that you get the pattern beforehand.
We had a couple of show and tells, one we'll hold back on because it's a graduation present and we're not sure if the recipient knows of it. Enjoy!
Gloria shared this scrap quilt with us. It took her 2 years to collect all the different
fabrics and piece it together.
This table runner was done by Chris Porter.
Here are some pictures from the workshop on the 26th.
