Club Notes - Dec 5, 2018

Thanks to Lynn for a great demo today. Lynn reported that she has now delivered 244 quilts that have been donated by people from The Villages and surrounding areas.

It seems like everyone was working on the Checkerboard quilt today.  I've attached a copy of the instructions to this email and am looking forward to seeing a bunch of quilts for the Panhandle come back next week.

Show and Tell:

Mic Pickard turned in 4 dog beds and a set of 12 place mats for the Sheriff's Youth ranches.

Lorraine Manz took another set of blocks and backing from our donated stash and made another quilt for the Panhandle.

 

Eileen DiSanto donated an Elephant panel blanket to the Panhandle, and a bunny to the stuffed toys collection.

 

Donna Rissman showed her completed snowman pillow and a completed  stuffed doll.

Pat Pipa  finished her snowman pillow.

Lu Karatzas finished a stuffed bear and showed a stack of scarves with pockets that she is making for Christmas presents.


 

  
Alice Meunier showed her Snowman pillow, a holiday placemat, and a mug rug for the reindeer.

Marty Rhyne  showed her finished Snowman pillow.

 
Ellen Hein showed 2 sleep sacks for her grand kids and a sleep mask for her son.

Audrey Phillips showed a reversible, cross-strap apron she made.

Instead of a pillow, I made a smaller size snowman as a quilt block for later use.

 I also finished a Cornerstone Hospice Veteran's quilt that was in my UFO pile.

 Last week we had 2 John Dere fleece panels donated.  I backed them with cotton farm scene fabric and turned them over to Lynn for the Panhandle collection.

 

I also had a stack of hex blocks I was saving to learn how to sew these together. This finished quilt is also going to the Panhandle.

Everyone jumped into this week's project after Lynn's demo.  We had donated fabric to choose from lots of available batting.

Next week is our holiday potluck party.  Bring a dish to share and your show and tell items.  As always, I will bring the plates, plastic ware, etc., and ice tea. We will have food and fun games.  See you next week.
