May Social Meeting

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!
