Thanks to Maria G. for this great space!
We had a great time at our "mini retreat".
Plans are in the works to do it again.
A Whole Bin of Scraps!
A Great Raffle Table
Floral Block Lotto Entries
They were won by Chris E., who was really thrilled!
The next Block Lotto is pictured above on the right.
The stripe placement in these blocks is very important to the design.

Gadgets!
We had a special presentation of members' favorite gadgets that help with their quilting.
Marie C. showed her extendable magnet for picking up pins off the floor.
Lisa M. showed us 2 gadgets: A household scrubbing brush for cleaning threads off her design wall, and a vintage glass flower frog for holding scissors and other tools.
Sue showed a quilter's chalk line that is used for marking long lines on your quilt.
Other items included an empty tissue box for collecting scraps before throwing them away, and several ideas to help hold the backing of a quilt while basting.
We were all interested in how Margaret C. basted her quilt on the wall!
