It is hard to believe that the 2015-16 year has finished for Fellowship Quilters. The picture to the left is a combo of outgoing and incoming leaders. We always seem to figure it out and come up with a fantastic group of women who plan our next year of projects. I look forward each years new learning experiences and pushing myself into areas I would not of thought possible. It keeps us all young.
Our June picnic was held indoors at the Yacht Club on West Bay and it was a beautiful facility that met our needs beautifully. Thank you Della!! The potluck was wonderful as usual...so much great food and wonderful friends.
This is a sample of quilt blocks brought in for the block of the month.
Kathy and Tracy are smiling because they love their Thank you gifts...Thanks to Vi!!
Donna brought a sample pillow sham using salvage. She is doing this as a program next year. So if you want to do this, save your salvage in 1 to 1 1/2 cuts so that some material pattern shows as well as the salvage printing shows in your final project. I have a big bag going!!
We had a new member, Roberta, come and blew us away with her show and tell. The one above is made with scraps and a special ruler. Looks like a pineapple and is just beautiful!
So Roberta likes to doodle and did the picture above and then created the quilt below. What a talented lady and we are so glad to have her join us!!
Sue has been busy with panels and made both of these quilts...I never find panels like these, I wonder where she shops.
Vi has also been busy and made this with a circle acu cut. Love the colors.
Tracey showed this quilt again but it is quilted now and still looks stunning.
Dates to remember are as follows. July 12th from 1 to 3 pm is the party for Brenda Sheldon who helped start this quilt group.
August 3rd is the craft fair for the Cherry Festival.
August 23rd is the first meeting for Fellowship Quilters 2016-17. It is a salad luncheon and every one is asked to bring a salad item to add to the mix. The new leader group will let us know the programs for the year and there will be sign ups for hostesses etc.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and visits new places...and maybe new quilt shops.
Soooo
Ask not what your fabric can do for you, but what you can do for your fabric!
