Quilter's NIght Out Idea

During the quilt show Cathie D showed this project possibility for Quilter's Night Out in October.

The pattern is free offered on Fat Quarter Quilt Shop's blog for download but halfway through August, the 14th to be precise the pattern will no longer be free.
So, may I suggest you head over to HERE 
and download your directions...even if you aren't sure you will want to make it as a small wall hanging you can do anything you want once you have it.

Maybe a long table runner or a throw quilt.  

Add more blocks or add different blocks.

We will NOT be doing kits but you can make your own kit from your stash or new fun fabrics.
Just wanted to give a head's up!

July Blocks of the Month

...Fabric is more than fabric.

We acquire fabric not just for it's beauty-there 

are many things out there we don't feel 

compelled to stash- Fabric comes with 

POSSIBILITIES, Dreams and Visions!

It has the potential to spark our creativity,it's

a seed planted to grow into something

wonderful.

Quilts are more than the sum of their parts

when we grow a quilt- we grow ourselves.

A quilt may last longer on this earth than

we will.

It's Time to Hang the Quilt Show

All hands on deck!
We will be hanging the quilts for the show Tuesday July 7 starting at 10 Am!
A few tall friends or family members would be useful for reaching the high spots and if you have a small ladder bring it along.
Night group will be hanging the ribbons on Wednesday July 8 7 Pm...be the first to see who wins the ribbons.

June 30 2015

We will be accepting quilts for the Steel Days Quilt Show at the quilt room from 10 AM to Noon and then again 7PM to 9PM.
There will be plenty of jobs for making this process run smoothly and a chance to see the quilts for the show close up!

Spread the word among your quilting friends for this community show.  Remind them that you don't have to have your quilt judged to have it hung in the show.  You can bring your Leader Ender display projects and also your baby quilts too.

Quilter's Night Out

October seems very far away until you start counting the weeks and months...
4 Months!
October 16
We want to encourage all New Friends to plan for this special evening...leave the men, boys and kids (grandkids) at home and have a wonderful night of sewing pot luck food and laughter with all your sewing buddies!

June 23 Community Service

Yep, Community Service day will be a week early to accommodate quilt show receiving day...
So, that means that you will have approx a week and a half to finish up your quilts for the show.

Also don't forget about your baby quilt challenge too!  There are still a few fat quarters in the quilt room that could be made into a sweet quilt for a baby who has to stay in the hospital for treatment.

There are still eye-spy quilts to be finished and maybe labels to be added to baby quilts.  
Also you can donate bags and supplies for our House of Hope project and of course place mats or mug rugs for our Meals on Wheels project too.

Wheww!  Thanks for all your hard work in making the world a little softer with quilts!
