September 15 Mini Quilts

Have you or your group started your Mini/Small Group quilt project for next year's fundraiser?

Cathie D's group will be making a small quilt from  Lori Smith book.

If you send an email to Cathie D I will put your project on the blog too!

A picture would be helpful or a link to the project  LOL

UPDATE for Fall Table Runner NIGHT GROUP

I have successfully created a cut file for the Scan N Cut so that we can cut the word, pumpkin stem and vine.  If you have your fabric pre-fused or ready to fuse when you get there this will eliminate the tracing and cutting time for your project.

We will be doing the bottom one...Thankful
