Our April 7th meeting was called to order by President Mary Richardson. The Treasurers Report and minutes of the last meeting were approved.
Block of the Month drawing was divided into three groups. Teapot blocks were won by Carol Pfeifer, JoAnn Allen and Joey Snow.
May Block of the Month demo was given by Patsy Morris. The Friendship Star Block was used and is to be made with a black star and black on white. Do not let the colors in the photo deceive you.
The Luv quilts were donated. Each time you donate a luv quilt you receive a beaded charm for your name tag and your name goes into the year end drawing.
The Sew and Share portion of our meeting in combination with a trunk show by members was a sight to see. We got to see many different quilts made by members and some really great items obtained from others, a few rescued quilts and many others, which we would not otherwise have seen. Many people brought a variety of items to show.
For more photos (and there are a lot of them) see the URL at the bottom under "PWQ Photos in Shutterfly"
We have started a monthly fat quarter drawing. Bring up to three fat quarters and win the basket of them. Our first month drawing was any fat quarter. This month's drawing was flowered fat quarters they were won by Mary Richardson, Mari Pretzer and Virginia Biggs.
The Fat Quarter theme for May is either stripes or polka dots.
There are still ELEVEN donation quilt blocks out there. PLEASE make sure you have those blocks turned in at our next meeting so Judy can get started on the construction of the quilt!!!
Carolyn Collette will be giving a demo at the next meeting on how to make an appliqued table runner. Watch your email for the specific items you will need if you wish to sew at the meeting, if you prefer to just watch the demo that is fine too, directions will be given out by Carolyn.
