MAY 13th 2015 MEETING, PICNIC BIRTHDAY FUN DAY.

We would like to thank Judy for opening up her home for us to have one of our annual party June .  With such a wonderful view of the river in her Soddy Daisy home, I am surprised that Judy gets any work done!  I would have trouble leaving that room overlooking the river.

Quick meeting notes
Bring Ronald McDonald quilts to the June meeting.
I showed the flannel that was bought for backing of Ronald McDonald quilts.  This does shrink, so please pre wash.  We have a bolt for boys & another for girls.
Should you want some of this or batting, please let me know the day prior to meeting so I can get it cut.  Remember the batting is 90" wide.
June meeting program will be modifying the aprons for  AQS Quiltweek.  We need sewers, pinners, ironers, & trimmers.

GAMES:
We had a fun time with the Chinese Auction, - it is always fun to see which gifts turn out to be the most stolen.
There were lots of quilting related tools going around the group during the left right game.

SHOW & TELL was shorter than usual, to allow us plenty of time to socialize & get to know one another better.

When you see all the work in this quilt, you understand all the time that Rachel put into the making.  And what a wonderful job Deb did of the quilting.

A closer look at Rachel's work.

Check out the great label!  And a good look at Deb's quilting.

Judy's version of the same quilt that Rachel made.

Lauren's quilt for a QOV challenge.  Each block represents a woman in history.

Fran made this to be given as a wedding gift.

Sharon's Betty Boop quilt was made during the murder mystery that was written by Lauren.

I have been making this for ages, - I call it the D... hundreds of 1 1/2" HST quilt.  This is one row.  Still more HSTs to be made for borders.

LUNCHEON

WOW, - what a feast all the attendees brought.

I am hoping that the descriptions of the quilts is all accurate, - unfortunately we are depending on my poor memory for this.

NEXT MEETING:  June 10th.
