October Meeting Recap

Welcome to fall!

Members who are participating in the RWJUHH quilt show: please bring your quilts and signed waivers (check your email) to the meeting on Wednesday, November 13.

First we discussed several of our upcoming workshops and possibilities for next year's Quilt-a-long.

This month's Improv Quilt-a-long theme was words! (I think Janneke's was supposed to be "MOM" but I didn't take another picture after she flipped it, apologies!)


We recently had a stripe fabric swap, and followed it up with a Stripe Quilt Challenge.


In September, Timna Tarr came to teach her map quilt class. Here are quilts from some of the students:




This month we had a Member Spotlight on our founder, Jess Levitt. She showed us quilts across her entire quilting career, including fabric she designed. Thanks, Jess!




The Guild Bee made x and + blocks for Janice:


And Show and Tell! Thanks everyone for sharing your talents!

September meeting recap

Apologies for the delay in posting the recaps - I've been working on a quilt (gasp) and really lost track of the days!

We'd like to remind everyone that we have open spots in our fall retreat, Nov 1-3 at Hyatt House Branchburg, and that signups for Jamee's wedge workshop on November 16th are open as well. Michele is collecting baby quilts to be donated to the baby birthday party in December.

We had a discussion about everybody's favorite quilt literature, including books, magazines, and even novels.

This month the Guild Bee was very busy, because they brought in blocks for two people. First up, blocks for Paulette:

And then blocks for Ellen:


This month's Improv QAL block theme was bias strips/tape. Very interesting results!


And finally, Show and Tell!

August meeting recap

We started our meeting this month with a lecture about WIPs and UFOs from Heather Kojan! It was warm, funny, and #relatable.


The Guild Bee sewed up blocks for Mada this month - some were given to her at our July party, so we have two pictures :)



This month's Improv QAL theme was wedges, and July's was triangles, so there were a lot of blocks to hold up.


Then we had a reusable shopping bag swap. Here are some pictures as we went through...




Earlier in the month, Janet taught a Retreat Bag Workshop. Here are some of the results!


And everyone's favorite time: Show and Tell!
