June 8 Meeting

As always, our monthly meeting was the first Monday in June - June 8. We're seeing more and more great Show and Tell modern quilts, and everyone loves it! Enjoy!

Donna: improv, asymmetrical; negative space

Donna: modern interpretation of a jelly roll quilt

Mary: Her own wonky block design; machine quilted on a domestic sewing machine

Betty: asymmetrical child's quilt

Karen: Quick Curve Ruler design inspired by a quilt seen on Pinterest

Karen: Quick Curve Ruler "Deco Shimmer"; big stitch quilted with perle cotton

Karen: Foundation paper-pieced Palm blocks

Bette, our Charity Quilt Chair, demonstrated how to put together Delectable Mountain blocks for our 2015 quilt.

She even showed how easy it can be to make a mistake!

Our program, given by Vice President Debbie, was a demonstration of how to use a regular-sized Fineline glue tip, and Elmer's School Glue, to glue-baste curves before machine piecing.

Members are reminded that we have several challenges in which to participate. Go here to review the opportunities and rules.
