23 May Social Meeting
Pam's House
What a beautiful setting for a gathering of modern quilters! We met at Pam's beautiful home on the lake for delicious snacks and cold drinks. We watched some kids play in the water and a few people on paddleboards -- we even saw a hot air balloon! It was a lovely evening. Thank you, Pam, for graciously hosting. Here are some pictures from the meeting:
The view was amazing!
We exchanged the quilts for the travelling quilt challenge. So far, there are 7 people participating. These are the quilts from the first round of exchanges (the starting block and the first "addition" from a fellow quilter).
Leslie added some flying geese to Stephanie's tattoo block.
Lynne added a HST border around Leslie's beautiful block.
Caroline added a cursive "imagine" to Lynne's "Create" block.
Pat added a piano key border and stars to Caroline's improv star block.
Lisa added a purple border and a curved rectangle border to Jill's curved flying geese block.
Jill added a book block (Angela Pingel) to Pat's paper-pieced star block.
Stephanie added a wonderful "Moxie" tattoo block and a paper-pieced star block to Lisa's star block!
You can see what amazing work is being done. The quilts have traveled to the next stop! I can't wait to see the finished products!
Show and tell time!
Lynne showed off the house blocks she has made for an online quilt-along. Every block has a unique door -- it was fun looking through them!
Lynne also shared her progress on a signature quilt she is making for a special aunt on her 90th birthday!
Pam shared a quilt she created with her exchange student for a community service project. It was her exchange student's first time sewing! She did a great job -- she had a great teacher!
We hope to see you all next month for the workshop!
