Announcement: Women's Health Fair the first week of October.

There is a Women's Health Fair the first week of October. We usually have a quilt show and hang quilts on the balcony and since we decided not to have a meeting in Sept. I forgot to say anything at the last meeting.  It would be great if someone could fix us a banister to hang with the guild name on it. I will get back with more in in a day or two.  I have a meeting tomorrow and will learn more on dates and times.
thanks,
Viola

August 15th Quilt Guild Meeting

We had a book swap this month. Everyone brought their quilt books and magazines and traded them. And we also had a great show and tell of quilts and quilt tops. Due to the heat this last month Becky had been inside and for her that meant it was quilt making time. She was very busy!

Around the World 


Nine patch
Baby quilt
Another nine patch
Just look at all those curved seams.

All this in one month!
Carol said that this one was partly made with garage sale finds. I am not sure how much of it was came from the sale and how much us her work, but it looks great. I tried to get a better shot of the
embroidered center motif. My camera did not do this quilt justice. All the blocks have been appliqued except the center on and she said that she had lost the handle and had to improvise. Nice Save.
Jan McGee paper pieced and hand quilted this beautiful quilt.  The quilt pattern from was a workshop that Carol Ann Wilbourn taught the guild a few months ago. The border is quilt by the mile. Jan will be teaching the block again later on this year, as long as there is not snow and ice on the ground.  

Connie brought her lovely Drunkards Path quilt. The blocks for this quilt were cut out during guild meeting on an Accuquilt-go that Viola brought. I was told that the quild bought the drunkards path dies so anytime a guild member wants to cut out a Drunkards Path quilt Viola will be more than happy to bring it to guild.  Thanks Viola!

Connie also brought this beautiful Quilt of Valor top that she had done.

More Pictures



The patterned squares on this quilt were put together using a border print and fussy cutting. I wish I had more info on the quilts .... and better pictures.
