Estela asked for volunteers to go with her to meet with the Military Officers' Association to ask for a monetary donation to be used toward the purchase of fabric and quilting supplies for the small lap quilts we are making for the veteran's home. The volunteers are Iris Page, Susan Moore, and possibly Sylvia Allen and Meg Rogers. We are meeting with the Military Officers on Monday, Sept. 26, and will report back to the group at the October meeting.
Estela also asked how everyone was coming along on their sampler blocks. Although no one brought any sampler blocks to show at this meeting, those working on the sampler reported that they are still working on theirs. Estela told the group that she intends to work on her sampler blocks when she attends her quilting retreat in Texas at the end of September.
New member Essie made another quilt! How does she do it? She obviously has a great eye for color and fabric coordination.
Mozelle showed us her finished jelly-roll quilt that will be donated to the Veteran's home.
Sheila is a new quilter, but took on the task of making several of the donation quilts for the Veternan's home; here she is showing one that she just finished.
No show and tell is complete without Susan, who always has a quilt she's just pieced or just finished. Another overachiever! This is a scrap quilt, made from 60-degree diamonds. The pattern is called 1000 pyramids. There may not be 1000 diamonds in this quilt, but it still took a lot of work--and perfect piecing--to get to look so great!
