We had a busy afternoon. The 2 articles about our club in the paper over the past week generated a lot of responses. We got a bunch of fabric donations and 2 new members.
I brought all the pillowcases, zip bags and drawstring backpacks we have collected over the past few months. Several ladies separated out the few that are more appropriate for women and counted and measured the rest. We sent the rest home with Bev to give to Skip for the Sheriff's Youth Ranch kids.
Show and Tell:
Charlotte Cecillio came at the start of our meeting to pick up more red, white and blue fabric and dryer sheets for the patriotic honor flight quilts she works on. She left a stack of masks she made.
Ellen Hein brought in 3 of our assembly line quilts that she finished the binding for.
The first one Ellen designed from our 6 inch block stash and the other two were large donated quilt tops that we finished.
Bev Minnerly showed doll pants and a zipper bag she made.
Mic Pickard is making pajamas for family for Christmas and found some cute fabrics on sale at Joanns to work with.
She is also making a stuffed toy to go in each stocking.
New member Suzanne Barron showed a big tote bag she made out of a cat food bag.
Prospective member Ceal Pedersen is an experienced quilter and she brought a lap quilt to show.
I took some time this past week to finish a Giraffe tote bag I've been working on.
**********************
For the rest of the afternoon we had several projects going. Carolyn Grasso and Suzanne worked on sorting the donations and filling a dog bed. Mic and Debbie Chapman worked with 10" squares to design a quilt. Ellen, Bev and Ceal designed 3 quilt tops with the box of 8" squares. I managed to pin 4 of our quilts to get them ready for quilting. It was a very productive afternoon.
We will have more of the same next week. If you need supplies for making stuff at home, let me know. I am still willing to deliver to your house or you can pick stuff up on Wednesdays.
