Greetings Quilters. We had a fun meeting with the program being rope baskets and other items. We have done this before but these were a bit different as we did not wrap the rope with fabric. The natural color of the rope combined with small amounts of fabric, colored thread and beads made some beautiful baskets and mats. Such inventive members with imaginations!
We had some new members and discussed the last meeting of the year, June 11th indoor picnic at the church. Prior to the lunch we will have a paddle auction to help raise money for the Grand Traverse Baby Pantry and a portion of the $$ going to our group to help buy batting and supplies for the charity quilts. Should be a great meeting with lots of fun, fellowship and fundraising. Be sure and bring your items for the auction by 9:30 and it will start at 10. bring a dollar to buy a paddle and quarters to use in the auction.Also bring a dish to share and your table service. We do have disposable if you forget but we are trying to reuse and be a less of a consumer of plastic and Styrofoam.
The charity block looks fun and everyone will make four. Thanks Sally!!
