April Group

We had quite a few people at April's group meeting last Monday, including Melody Carpita, who was visiting to see what we were all about! Disorganized sometimes, but we mean well! :-)

We're going to have Jelly Roll races next Friendship Quilting Day, May 14th! Can't wait! All you need to participate is a jelly roll (or 40 2 1/2" x 40" strips), your sewing machine, scissors and thread. We'll start at 9:00, setting up, and doing the "pace lap", sewing our strips together end-to-end. The flag will drop at 11:00! Ladies have been known to have completed a top in 35 minutes! Can't wait!

We did have some Show and Tell:

DebbieW was working on a baby rail fence quilt... basting at group!

Linda made this quilt to sell.

Linda made this one for one of her new twin grandsons...

... and she made this one for the other twin!

Linda made this Quilt-As-You-Go baby quilt. This is the one side...

... and this is the back!

Barb made this adorable quilt for her grandson!

Melody is making one of these baby block blocks for her daughter each year. It started out that she was selecting and making the blocks. However her daughter started selecting the fabric herself, and now is even designing the layouts!

Melody made this while learning to quilt. She seemed apologetic that she had let something sit so long, but clearly she hasn't seen any of our UFO stacks! We all have really old things sitting around to be completed! No pressure Melody!

Betsy made this baby quilt that had been started by someone else. She found the blocks in the baby quilt fabric box, and made some more. This is her April 2004 UFO Challenge quilt! Quilted and done!
