Febuary Meeting Pictures

I know your thinking to your self that February was well what 6 months ago?  While yes you are correct.  I feel that as long as going forward I am planning to both update the blog and Facebook with what went on with our guild meetings that I should at the lest go back and post some of the great pictures of quilts showed earlier this year.  I plan to edit and then post all of the picture that I have received.  If you feel that we are missing any (and you have them) please forward them to me rhealey101(at)gmail(dot)com and I will make sure to get them posted also.

Before you go looking at the pictures please keep in mind this months meeting will be on Aug 22, 2014.  This next months meeting will be Katie Ellis teaching us how to use the precut fabric's like charm packs, jelly rolls and layer cakes.  For the evening meeting the people who signed up for the treats are Emily Neilson, and Laura Neilson.  As we get more details I will post them in later posts.

One more thing at our July meeting there was interest expressed in setting up a retreat.  And or Getting together for sew days.   If you could let the guild leaders know of your interest in either we would appreciate it.

Third Block Swap

The third block swap will be turned in at the October meeting. We will be trading bow tie blocks with bright fabric bow ties and a light grey background. The unfinished block size will be 6 ½” . Each swapper will make 64 blocks and the trades will go in sets of 4. So, you will get 16 sets of four 6” blocks. (This way you will get the equivalent of 16 12” blocks as we did in our other swap and your quilt will be big enough to use.) These blocks are pretty fast, so although 64 sounds like a lot, it shouldn't be too bad. The guild voted to swap both the 3 dimensional and 2 dimensional blocks, which ever pattern you choose to make. 

 I have turned the tutorial into a PDF which you can download Bow Tie Block Tutorial. It includes great step by step instructions for creating these blocks

If you have any questions on the block let us know.
