We had 16 attend this afternoon's meeting and, as usual, had lots of fun. I only brought batting scraps, the 8.5" squares, 10" squares, pre-quilted fabric and some large pieces of flannel. Mic brought the bins of large fabric pieces, as usual.
Show and Tell:
Mic Pickard showed the quilt she pinned last week, all finished. This quilt was donated by someone outside of our club and Mic found areas where there were holes or other defects that needed attention. She resolved this by applying yo-yo's to cover the problem areas. This was a great solution.
She also took a pre-printed aprons and finished it.
Pat Pipa made some more embroidered rope coasters.
Judy Mayer turned in a lovely scrappy quilt top
Ceal Pedersen showed how she has expanded her applique fun from tote bags to various items of clothing.
Diane Sacula showed two pillowcases she made for (great?) nephews and a quilt top she made.
Diane Placek made a stuffed fish and a zipper bag.
Bev Minnerly showed the beach tote she started last week. She also showed some thin wood she picked up at a Dollar store to use in the bottom of the bags.
Mary Ellen Boutin made a quilt top, a tote bag, and matching zipper bag.
Liz Manzione showed a bag she has been working on.
I showed 2 more phone and ID cases I made in the hoop on my embroidery machine. I enlarged the pattern on these so they fit larger phones.

Today's demo was on how to make a cute purse from 6 fabric squares. The pattern and an explanation on how to make an adjustable strap are attached to my email.
Next week Ceal will talk to us about how to care for our quilts and how to restore old ones. I hope to see you all there.
