September Meeting Recap

Hello quilty friends, it's time for another meeting recap post!

First, just a reminder that registration continues for the walking foot workshop and November retreat, both of which are available to nonmembers, more info here!

Now there is a lot to show you..

First up, our Patchwork City Quilt-a-long participants brought in their blocks.


The Crayon Challenge quilts were finally due! If you recall: in June, each participant blindly drew three crayons from a box, and had to complete a quilt from fabrics of those three colors, with one optional neutral. We had a LOT of quilts! It was amazing!





The Guild Bee made blocks for Susan.


The New Bee made blocks for Michele.


For this month's demo, Janneke discussed different forms of appliqué and showed many examples.


We had another Member Spotlight, this time with Jessica Skultety describing her quilting journey. She showed everything from her very first quilt (t-shirts) to the one she recently finished for the Crayon Challenge above.






The meeting closed out with another great Show and Tell!
