More Quilts!

More beautiful quilts from the April 8th meeting...

 

Looking forward to seeing what everyone brings to the next meeting!

 

Hope to see you Tuesday May 13th!

The Musical Fabric Challenge

What chaos! What fun!  What a great pile of fabric!  (And what great music!!)

At the April 8th meeting, everyone brought 1 yard of fabric to share.  When the music started, everyone passed their fabric.  And when the music stopped, everyone split the fabric in half.  After 7 songs, each was left with a pile of mixed fabric.

The challenge?  Make something with the fabric you took home from the meeting.  Make anything!  And when complete, bring your creation to the next show and tell.  Can't wait to see what you create!!

 

 

Quilts Galore!

We saw so many beautiful quilts at the last meeting...

And these are only some of the many!  More will be posted soon!

 

Meeting Tuesday April 8th

Please bring 1 yard of modern fabric to share at the next meeting on Tuesday April 8th.  And bring a pair of scissors.  Choose a fabric that is not your precious.  (You know that fabric you love so much that you don't want to cut it?)  Leave that fabric safe at home and bring something else that is fun and modern. :-)

After our fabric game , Marie will be showing us all how to make circles.  This tutorial will tie in with the Modern Quilt Guild's 100 Days of Modern Quilting.  Week 1 of the series explores shapes.  We plan to cover all the shapes over the next few months.  And we will incorporate each shape into a block of the month.

 Michael Miller 2014 challenge fabric has arrived and will be distributed during the meeting to members who signed up at the February 27th and March 11th meetings.

And, as usual, bring your show and tell!

See you all Tuesday April 8th!  Meeting begins at 7PM.  Refreshments begin at 6:30PM.

Location:
