March Meeting Show & Tell

Some new quilters brought some great items for show & tell:








As did some current members:

Check out Janet's jacket!



Helen's Sunbonnet Sue quilt, made for her by her mother's friend when Helen was a baby.





The vintage quilt Greer picked up while travelling in the south has such an excellent history, and she's still busy researching all the names on the blocks.




Everyone loved Andrea's quilt--even our youngest member, despite the fuss she put up because she wasn't in mom's arms for a moment : )


Good luck to Kim as she finishes her last three appliqued blocks!


A quilt Victoria made for Helen...


...and Helen's delight at receiving the gift.


Finally, remember you can enter the Alliance for American Quilts' Home is Where the Heart Is competition! entries are due June 1, and you can find more details here.

Photos of March Meeting: Group Stuff and Helen's Interview

A nice group at the meeting yesterday, including several quilters who came for the first time.


Remember the Michael Miller group challenge? Victoria took some of those blocks and turned them into something that only she could have imagined. Amazing!!


The wonky log cabin blocks that several people made definitely say "spring." Can't wait to see the finished quilt!


Name tags! I only got photos of two that were swapped, but I did manage to capture one of the best--David's, with the strategically positioned 'V' made by Emily.



John interviewed Helen for the Quilters' Save Our Stories project. So great to learn more about one of our incredible members, thank you both for participating!
