Good Use of Scraps

Carmen made this top from coins cut 5" wide and random heights from her flannel scraps.

We think this is a good use of all those little pieces that you would hate to throw away but don't really want to keep.

Try it, you'll like it!

Here's another one, even the back is pieced!

Fun Day

 A fantastic Baby Bundles FUN Day was held at the Old Quarry Library on October 8^th to share the Cathy Heck fabric with volunteers who created tops, blocks and kits.  It's a big meeting room, with lots of space to spread out.

 We had 11 guild volunteers in addition to our Baby Bundles staff of 3 – our most popular FUN day yet! 

This is Pat and Kathryn, tying and labeling.   They, plus Carmen and a few others, tied and labeled 24 quilts that had been made previously.

Here's Kathy, with a top she created from one of the panels.  We finished 8 tops on Monday      (Whoops, I saw Kathy yesterday and she didn't make this one.  I'm thinking maybe Carmen did?). 

The quilt to the left is one that Judy made using the Twice Sliced Layer Cake pattern.  All of the fabrics are flannel.

Here's the pile of quilts, about halfway through the day.


There's still fabric left.  Check with the Baby Bundle table next month to get a kit!

October 12 Meeting Report

 OH MY!

We had 25 quilts turned in on Monday, although some need labels and one needs to be tied or quilted and also 3 tops. That's a good number - at that rate we'd do 300 a year, even without a guild-wide sew-in. Here are some of the quilts that were turned in

The FUN DAY is shaping up to be very productive. Call Gracie or Judy if you have any questions!
