August meeting recap!

Hello from sticky Central New Jersey! Let's recap our August meeting!

We started bringing in finished blocks for our QuiltCon Charity Quilt. Please return all blocks to Jess S. at the September meeting or make other arrangements to get them back to her ASAP!


Lindsay is collecting blue and green 10.5" log cabin blocks for quilts to give to some Bucks County families affected by a recent tragedy. Here are some our members brought in.


This month's swap was adorable: PINCUSHIONS!


The Guild Bee made large paper pieced blocks for Juanda:


The NewBee made blocks for Cathy:


Then, as always, we had Show and Tell:








And finally, our meeting wrapped up with Juanda giving a demo on how to build a portable design wall out of curtain rods. Thanks, Juanda!

July meeting recap

In past years we didn't have an official meeting in the month of July, but earlier this year we voted to have one. We shortened up the business aspects of the meeting and capped it off with games!

Reminder to members that registration for our fall retreat is ongoing and will open to non-members beginning in August, so if you want to make sure you get a spot, send your check to the treasurer (Beth) ASAP!

First, here's everyone with the one hour baskets they received in the swap with the North Jersey MQG. Thank you, NJMQG!!!


The Guild Bee made blocks for Mada:


The NewBee made blocks for Juanda:


Melanie Tuazon recently did a workshop for her Trill pattern with us. Here are some of the results!


As always, Show and Tell!!





Then we closed out the night playing games, including Pin the Power Cord on the Sewing Machine, Hot Potato, and Left Right Center!

June meeting recap

Hello June! We are back again, with another meeting recap post full of lovely work by our talented members.

Finished quilts from last year's round of the NewBee were due at this meeting. Great job, NewBee!


Finished quilts from our 2016 Patchwork City Quilt-A-Long were also due. Nice work!



Members participating in the One Hour Basket Swap with the NJMQG handed in their packages at this meeting. So here's a sneak preview of Laura S. with all the bags..


What did we see in Show and Tell? Just these beauties..





Laura B. volunteered to do a Member Spotlight at this meeting, where she shared pieces from her quilting journey, and talked about the things she has learned, and the way her style has evolved. Here are a few selections.
