Thanks again to everyone who attended the April 17, 2012 meeting! We kicked the meeting off with our Gee's Bend Inspired Challenge reveal, which certainly revealed a lot about all of our individual talents. We exchanged bags of fabric and had to use 5 different fabrics to create a quilted piece. The fabrics were everything from Upholstery Fabric to Whole Blue Jean pant legs. To view the results, just click on the Challenge #2 page, the pictures are listed in alphabetical order with each artist's name underneath.
Please see below for other meeting highlights:
- May Mini-Challenge- Name Tags! If you don't already have one made, or if you feel like making a new one, everyone is asked to make their own name tag to wear at each meeting. No rules for this one- individuality is almost a requirement!
- Challenge #3 was also revealed- Song, Book or Movie Challenge. The purpose is to create a Quilted Piece (can be anything-handbag, jacket, wall hanging, etc.) inspired by your favorite Song, Book or Movie. The Challenge will be due at the September 18 meeting.
- Monthly Book Review: each meeting will feature a book review by a different member of the guild. The May meeting book will be reviewed by Liza.
- Show and Tell:
- Renee: Rust Stained Improvisational Pieced Quilt and her Hand-Pieced Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt
- Paula: Mystery Quilt with Kona cotton Solids
- Mary Ellen: Pineapple Quilt from the book "Positively Pineapple"
- Bev: Table Runner and Bubble Face Quilt
