April Fellowship Meeting

 Greetings Fellowship Quilters...I missed the show and tell part of this meeting due to grandchild duties.  Della was kind enough to once again take pictures for me so that I can do the blog.  We had a fun morning program with Della showing a stash and slash technique that could be made into all sorts of items.  I hope we have some finished results for the next blog so keep at it quilters!
The light in the pictures was hard to edit out so I have not included some pictures as they had too much glare.  Lots of news this month..36 people at the meeting, Grand Rapids Quit show bus trip Aug 12th, Strip Parties this summer will be June 23 and July 21st.  Barb plans on making more weighted blankets for Occupational Therapist in the 5 county area.  Quilts by the Bay is June 19 and 20 in Petoskey.
Karen was back after he winter in the south and had lots of projects to show us.  The pillow to the left was from a borders class.
Love these colors...Kerby Log Cabin table runner.

 Jackie had a fire and lost her house along with many life treasures.  We shared some of our favorite recipes with her and heard her story...glad she is ok.
