September Update

Happy Labor Day!  I hope everyone had a good weekend, with family and friends and maybe even some quilting.
As we go into fall, I am hoping to find more time to update this blog.
Since I forgot my camera at the August meeting, these are the most recent photos I have.  Many of them were blurry, and couldn't be used (sorry).
To start, here are some of our recent quilts made to donate to charity.

Here's a Disappearing Hour Glass Quilt, held up by our own Joan D. and Colleen T.   Want to make one?  Click here to go to the You Tube tutorial, by Missouri Star Quilt Company.

This one is called Hopscotch.  Sorry for the blurry photo.

Here's another Hopscotch, with those patented piano keys borders!
There were more quilts for charity, but my photos were a mess.  Even in August, when many of us are busy with vacations and gardening, etc., we had lots of charity quilts worked on, finished, or donated.  Great job, everyone.
Now for some more show and tell.

Love these scraps!

This one was made for a cancer patient.  It has encouraging words.

Great colors!

Wonderful chevrons!

These are scarves Carolyn hand dyed in a class.

Perfect patriotic banner!

Mickey finished her Row by Row!

Ann M. finished the wonderful animal book quilt for her grandson.  We can look for it at Quilt Expo.

Isn't this the neatest organizer you ever saw?  And done it batiks, too.

Mary L. had several quilts.  I think a couple were for charity.  (Having a senior moment here.)
