Meeting Tomorrow! August 16th.

Don't forget your items for the Annual Member Yardsale, a bit of change for your customers, goodies if it's your month, your BOM blocks, your show n share.   See you there!

What your quilt could look like:

Here's Debi's quilt using the BOM block for August!  Make a couple and you could win blocks toward a scrappy quilt of your own!

Armchair Travel with

Dana - go to her website,  http://danddadventures.blogspot.com/  to see what she and Dan are up to.  Great pictures.

From our Challenge Queen, Christine!

The second challenge for this year has begun, and it is a two color quilt.  Start now and bring your finished quilt top to the October meeting.

A two color quilt can have just two fabrics, but it does not need to.  You may use many different fabrics, but you are limited to just two colors, i.e. reds and white, blues & greens, purples and yellows.  Use your imagination.  I know it is often difficult to find prints with just the two colors.  Many will have a little bit of a third color, and I'm fine with that.  It's your quilt and you have to love it.  As long as the quilt as a whole reads as two colors, we're flexible. 

Please make the quilt a minimum of 36" X 36" and as large as you like. The pattern is your choice.  Have fun!

I would love to hear from you.

LONG BEACH QUILT SHOW Our guild will be attending on Friday, July 29, 2011 via charter bus. Please see me at the guild meeting, or contact me about purchasing your bus trip ticket. I have already sent in the order for the show tickets, but you can still join us on the bus for fun, prizes, the best ever company (since we are all quilters) and curb side service. The bus trip is $32, and you will be able to purchase your show ticket in Long Beach ($10 general admission, or $8 Senior). Please contact me with any questions. We currently have 15 seats available.

Thanks!

July Show N Share is Christmas!

Our July Show N Share is of Christmas Quilts!.  So if you have  a favorite one in your closet, bring it along and share with us.  Of course if you have a ufo or one you've finished after the meeting, we'd like to see that eye candy, too.  But do plan on showing us something Christmasy. Hey, how about making a quiltlet of one of those steal game blocks we exchanged all those December meetings ago?

Look forward to seeing a spectacular XMAS show n Share at the July meeting.

Meeting next Tuesday - 6/21!

Isn't this a great Ohio Star Quilt?!  Love the border fabric.  Gives it a medieval tapestry look.

Look forward to seeing the Ohio Patriotic Stars that will be turned in at the meeting.
