October 2010 Meeting

 This month's meeting was well attended, especially by gnats, but that didn't stop us! After the business portion of our meeting, several of us stayed to work on the 2011 Guild Raffle Quilt! We got all but two of the blocks done! Now the committee will be assembling all of those blocks into rows. A special thanks to all the members who stayed to help with that project!





 We all got a "massage" from Irene with her little magnetic roller thingy!  It felt great and was really relaxing.  Look at this pic of Deb, she is in "the zone"!

 Rhonda showed us a cute Tote Bag she completed!

 and Linda B has been sewing away making quilts for our service project (a local women's shelter). 

 Here's a crazy quilt top also made by Linda B.

 and to frost the cake, Linda B made 20 pillowcases for a local shelter too!

 Sue T was recently in JoAnn Fabrics and saw a clutch made from Duct Tape . . . she researched it online and made one - it was really cute!

 Sue T was also inspired from the tote that Kathy W showed at the September meeting and decided she wanted one like it, so this is Sue's version!

 Here is a quilt Sue T made and the blocks have embroidered cats on them and they all resemble her cats!  Just how many cats do you have Sue?

 This is the back of the cat quilt - it was just as cute as the front!

 Joanne finished her 2010 Guild Retreat Quilt.  Leave it to Joanne to finish it before our next Guild Retreat on the 16 + 17th of this month . . . I'm just sayin' . . .  

  Joanne also showed us a  recently completed large wall hanging of English Paper Piecing.  Joanne will be teaching a class on this technique at the LQS and the November Guild Meeting.  Hope to see you there!
