The guild presented a quilty thank you gift to former president Jessica Skultety for her years of service.
Two gifts were left over from our Secret Quilter swap in January.
On the left, Linda received a purple mini from Laura. On the right, Kathleen got a turquoise and yellow piece from Kathy.
Aurifil Thread had contacted Jess S. about our guild, and sent a box swag bags that were handed out to members. We are all so grateful! Included in a reusable bag were informational brochures, two color charts, and a sample pack of six weights of thread. Amazing!
Bee: Transportation themed blocks for Beth, covering lots of different types!
Demo: Elaine gave a demo on faux piped binding, and passed around several examples.
Block of the Month: The 2015 BOM from the Knoxville MQG is all done! We were impressed that there were so many finishes. Way to go, BOM participants.
Swap: Anything Valentine themed! Our members made mini quilts, mug rugs, and baskets. Great job!
Show and tell:
Lee finished a small quilt with different kinds of hearts and stars.
New quilter Katie showed her high contrast, bright lap quilt.
Chawne Kimber came to visit our guild, and brought her quilt "The One for Eric," which had just returned from QuiltCon where it won first place in the Improv category.
Neva finished a bee quilt with a purple rectangle theme.
Jess S brought a small wonky cross quilt and one made with Carolyn Friedlander fabrics.
New member Laura brought in a top with hundreds of small squares. So many!
Another visitor was Jenelle of TrashN2Tees, who showed an applique piece she's working on cut from upcycled tshirts.
And speaking of tshirts, Laura B made her own to wear to work!
