We had a small but fun group for our June meeting!

One of the important dates coming up is the July Group Meeting, July 29th ... which will be at Melanie Adent's house - a Quilty Garage Sale! A chance to maybe move along some of your fabric or projects you're not so excited about any more, and see get excited about new-to-you items! Bring appetizers to share (easy to walk around with), and lots of one dollar bills! :-) We'll get more details together shortly, and I'll email you all her address.

February Meeting Notes

Here's a little info from our last meeting!

The baby dedication process is changing. The church is considering having a class for the parents as part of the dedication process. The date for the next baby dedication has not been set and we don't know how many quilts we will need. Debbie will keep us posted. Keep them coming and we'll be ready when the next rush hits!

Betsy shared a devotional from a book "Jesus Calling"

We are considering having another retreat in June. Let Betsy know if you'd be interested. We do have a retreat set for October 3-6 - let her know if you'd like to go to that one too!

Gossypium; The new quilt shop in Issaquah is open. Val Davis reported she will be teaching beginning quilting at the shop. Mo Newman (former coordinator of Companionship Quilters) is also teaching there, and coordinating teachers.

Diana showed a antique quilt made by her grandmother that she is planning on repairing. Sounds like her grandmother made quite a few of these. Well loved and well used - just what a quilt should be. Click on the pic to see it larger.


Many of us are working on the Craftsy Block of the Month, and brought the latest blocks to share. We watched the video for Month #4 which are two blocks that incorporate hexagons.

Show and Tell was fun too! Click on the pics to see them larger!

October Group

You've probably seen all the pics on Flickr already, but if not, here they are! We had a small group, but fun! And we watched Craftsy's "February" block of the month... our 2nd lesson! Can't wait to get trying out new methods!

Micha made this cute baby quilt top at Quilt Retreat
- her first retreat in a long time!

Micha also made this one with "classic" Strawberry
Shortcake fabric! Let's hear it for the classics!

Micha's Buggy Barn quilt for her niece.

and Micha's Buggy Barn for her! Cute!

Barb quilted this on her new longarm. Nice!

Barb's getting lots of practice - and her daughters
are making sure she doesn't run out
of things to practice on!

Diana made this - but Betsy showed it on her behalf! Cute, huh?

and Betsy showed this on Sue's behalf! Also adorable...
and she "made" that scrappy fabric!

Cherice got her Row Quilt top together.
This turned out totally adorable! It inspired
me to get working on mine!

Debbie W made this cute baby quilt top! What a
fun, easy, versatile pattern. Thanks Sherri.

Marsha joined us to see what group was like. She showed this
quilt that she made some time ago. Nice! And she's got bundles
of fabric she's been saving so that she can just jump right in! :-)

Nan showed us her cute baby quilt top made
from Terry's scrap flannel. Sweet.
