Club Notes - August 8, 2018

It looks like summer might be coming to an end.  We had a few members come who we haven't seen all summer.  Along with a few new members ( including one added today) we had 22 ladies show up today.

Donna Rissman led today's demo of a project carrier.  The instructions are attached to my email






Show and Tell:

Mic Pickard is a new member who has quickly gotten into the swing.  

She showed a finished quilted hug shawl made from stuff she found in our fabric stash, 

a walker bag she made for a friend, 




and a bag she made for her friend's caregiver.

Ellen Hein showed a baby quilt she made from a panel found in our stash, 

a pillow case, 









and a huge bag she got from a bakery up north and decorated for donation. (I'll be filling it with quilts and stuff for the Ocala shelter).

Sue Campbell made 3 pillowcases with fabric some little boys will love.a bag she made to 

Eileen DiSanto showed a flat doll house she made and a wine bag she altered and embellished to hold it  The house is a quilt and there are little stuffed dolls to inhabit it.

Pat Pipa showed the table runner she finished from last week's project.

Donna Rissman also made a table runner, but hers will glow in the dark.  

She also showed a  wall hanging made from New York Beauty blocks on water fabric, against a sanding beach with some cute crabs

Diana Gosselin took a bunch of the donated fabric we got a few weeks ago home and came back today with 44 pillowcases!  Since the fabric came from Karen King at A Quilting Pallet, the pillowcases will be going back there for Ryan's Case for Smiles.

Bev Minnerly showed some doll clothes she made, this time for her granddaughter's doll.

Lynn  showed her finished winter table runner and a wall hanging she finished.







Debbie Ardman showed her lovely completed Quilted Hug Shawl.

Nella Rose showed a cat Christmas wall hanging she finished.

I showed the table runner I finished 


and a quilt I made for a great-niece.

***************
As always we got more fabric donated today. Thanks to all the ladies who sorted through it, filling a few dog beds and separating out the good stuff.  Also, a special thanks to Sue and Mic for taking fabric home with them to cut into blocks.  

I also brought the bolts of fabric I received from the distributor I told you about last week.  
Several ladies went to work cutting some of that into pillowcase bodies and matching cuffs.  There was one bolt that contained panels to make stuffed dolls.  I put that aside and will plan a project day for us to sew and stuff these dolls for Christmas presents for a charity.

Next week I will show you how to make some easy mug rugs.  I'll send a separate email with the supply list.

Hope to see you next week.
