September Fellowship Quilters

 The September Fellowship Quilters meeting met on Sept 25th at the Presbyterian Church.  We had a good group with lots of fun and fellowship.  Our morning guests were from Hearts To Holly Quilt Shop in Charlevoix.  Sue Miller on the right and Dawn Fletcher on the left lead the group in a project to make placemats. As you can see from the examples they are holding with Linda it was a great success.  Thanks to both Sue and Dawn for coming to Traverse City and imparting their wisdom. I have not yet been to their shop....Road Trip!!!

 Bobbi was concentrating so much she did not even notice me taking this picture...she is a great sewer!!
What an inspiration!

 Jackie showed her jack the zipper rug hooking....adorable!
Show and Tell is a wonderful time for our group...such sharing and learning from everyone.

 Our Mission is to seek fellowship with other quilters through our love of quilting.  Our purpose is to share our quilts with charities in need.  Barb Roberts, our closet Queen, always has  a project for us to tackle and Lynne Derr brought 6 quilts from Barbs project pile.  They are beautiful and all different. We have given away 114 quilts so far this year.  Fantastic!!

 We can be serious at times....Pat and Judy are sure paying attention!

A group shot of some of the quilters.
We keep two members in our prayers...Leah and Marcia...may they heal and return to us soon.

I hope everyone enjoys this blog...I find such inspiration from attending this group.  We all come from different backgrounds but share the love of the creative process of making a quilt.  We laugh and hug and eat and always have ideas to help each other out.    It does not get any better than that.
Look for my email about upcoming projects.

September Fellowship Meeting

Ruth Lamper showed us her day bed quilt made from scraps from her stash.  She is the queen of scrap quilts

Here is our leadership team for the 2012-2013 quilting season.  They are an enthusiastic group and have a great year planned.   Linda Constantieau, Jeanette Thompson, Judy Galligan and Claudia Heindl.

Marva Stevens made this baby quilt, one of many she makes for family.  She quilts most of her creations herself and it is wonderful to see her work!
Barb Roberts is our Charity Coordinator and always has encouraging words for all us.
Come to the work bee on September 11th at 10 am and join in the fun.  They will be sandwiching quilts and tying and/or quilting them.  We have donated 111 quilts so far this year to various charities.
We hope that you enjoy reading this blog.  We hope to do two blog entries a month to keep you updated on what we are doing at Fellowship Quilters       Kathy Nolan and Barb Roberts
