Our May meeting was well attended and lots of fun. Karen instructed us in the Mola process of creating a wonderful picture. Lots of creative juices going with this project. It is always good for the brain to learn something new.
Weare winding down another year of great projects and fellowship with quilting. We have new leaders for next year led by Pat. She is taking suggestions and making inquiries for what sounds like an exciting year. We are a very talented group that always suprises me at the depth of ideas and projects.
Barb is hard at work on the quilting part of the Mola project. I like how the word prayer is looking over her shoulder! I did not plan that...it is on the door to the prayer garden. Wow!
Ruth's project turned out great and Sharon is showing how you have to cut away the fabric after you do your quilting. It is importatnt to cut the right areas. The end product is always a surprise.
So here are the finished projects from today. Impresive!!!
Sue showed this sweet wall quilt that is hand stitched. She is hosting a Stitch Club at Interquilten Quilt Shop. It is the second Saturday in June from 11 to 1 pm and has a $5 material fee. She features a new hand stitch each gathering. Sue shared that she is enjoying re learning the stitches her late mother taught her. Memories are so precious. Call to reserve your spot if you are interested.
Vi showed us her minature quilt from last month. They all turned out so great!
Connie has showed this wool quilt before but now it is quilted. It is even more beautiful. The long arm quilter used wool batting that helped raise up the wool flowers a bit. Very fantastic!
We always have such interesting stories. Lynn does not remember where she got this blocks but they have been gathering dust in her closet for awhile. She offered it to anyone who is willing to put them together. Can't wait to see the results!

Ruth brought us all to tears with the story of the quilt above. She bought the quilt top at a silent auction for $25. It is hand pieced and Ruth felt it needed to be hand quilted. She titled it :Little Orphan Annie" . I know the original owner would be so pleased with the outcome. It is beautiful!
