We had fun today, seeing what our friends have created and sewing our own creations. I received some donations yesterday which consisted mainly of fabric strips. They were available for today's project and will also work for next week's project.
I also brought a box of panels that have been donated over the years. I challenged club members to take a panel and create a lap quilt for one of our charities. Six ladies took me up on the challenge. I will bring these again next week.
Show and Tell:
Bev Minnerly made 2 back packs and a dog bed.
Kathyrn Jeter has gone north but she gave Brenda a walker bag she completed to hand in.
She then showed an embroidered Easter pillow wrap
and an Easter table runner.
Mary Ellen Boutin made a couple of tote bags.
and a quilt she made for a college student, using the college colors. She explained that you can now purchase fabric from most colleges to get their correct college colors.
Diane Placek showed a couple of bunny bags she made,
Eileen DiSanto showed a quilt she made for her great-grand niece.

Today I showed my Easter Egg placemat and explained how to make one using a fat quarter for the baking, some batting scraps sewed to the desired size, and fabric strips in Easter colors.
We have a lot of fabric strips in various lengths, so next week we will get out the dryer sheets and make some dryer sheet blocks. This is similar to the 10 inch blocks some of you have been making for Ellen to put together, only on a smaller scale. When you make these, please DO NOT trim them. We will trim the blocks that are turned in, to a standard size to make them easier to work into quilts.
