January 2016

Happy New Year!


Our next meeting:  Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2016 7:00 p.m.
Here's what to bring:
Birthday strips:  1 each for Nancy P. and Ann W.
Both ladies are looking for creams and/or tone on tone.  Just bring one 2.5 in. strip, selvage to selvage, for each of them.
Food Pantry:  Cake mixes, frosting, etc.
Dues!  The dues are due!
Charity quilt sections:
Instructions and strips for these were given out at the meeting in November.

Here's a photo of Colleen showing us what to do with the strips.  We're making Upstairs, Downstairs, one of Nancy P.'s patterns.
This is a finished Upstairs Downstairs top.

The charity quilt committee cut all these strips for us to take home and work on.  There are lots of lovely florals in this quilt.

Another one of our projects is making Fidget Quilts for Alzheimer's patients.

Here's a close up of one of these cute Fidget Quilts.  Joan D. is showing them to us here.


November Show and Tell
I apologize in advance for the quality (or lack thereof) in the following photos.  I also apologize to those of you whose quilts aren't pictured.  Many of the photos were terribly blurry, and had to be deleted. 
The productivity of this little quilt group is absolutely amazing.  Great job, everyone!





Another finished Upstairs, Downstairs!








 And here's another finished Upstairs Downstairs!  I need to get mine done!





Isn't it amazing how a quilt can brighten up everything?
See you Wednesday!
