June Meeting

**********

The June meeting was held on June 12th at Meg's house.  In attendance were Mozelle, Diane P., Debbie, Sylvia with Holly, Estela, Sheila, Susan, Cyndi, Meg, and Marcia. Glynis joined us later for Show-and-Tell.

Marcia's refreshments included Meatloaf Muffins, mixed nuts, and cupcakes.  Meg provided mini-quiches.  All were delicious.

Business:  Meg gave a financial report which showed that we have a large amount to cover any expenses we may incur.  All were reminded of the dues.  It was decided that instead of Christmas in July we will make a day trip to Branson, stopping at quilt shops along the way. It is scheduled for July 12th, which is a Saturday.

Show-and-Tell:

 Marcia showed her Jelly Roll Race quilt from last month's program.  This is a donation quilt for someone in Vilonia.

This quilt was made from a tutorial at Missouri Star Quilt Co. and is called a Disappearing Pinwheel.
Marcia also showed a cover she had made for her tablet computer (not pictured.)

Sheila also showed a finished Jelly Roll Race 2 quilt, which has added squares in the design.

This pretty floral offset quilt has such cheery colors in it.

Sheila made two yellow and black quilts, both are quite striking.

 

And this gorgeous batik Jelly Roll Race quilt had us all "ooh-ing and aww-ing."

Cyndi showed  this great quilt with animal-themed blocks, with rick-rack edging.

Cyndi had this cute little sewing machine made of Legos by her nephew (I think.)  We all agreed it is a Bernina from the shape of it.

Cyndi made this lovely HST quilt edged in browns.  Very masculine-looking.

She finished her Jelly Roll Race quilt, too.  The kids' prints make it so colorful!

This brightly colored Pinwheel Quilt (above) was done by Diane P., as was this pretty Jelly Roll Race quilt below.

  

The pretty Wizard of Oz quilt below is by Debbie.

  

Susan made this lovely Crayon Box Quilt for the family who are getting the current Habitat For Humanity house being built in Prairie Grove.

 

Glynis and family recently helped out in Vilonia after the tornado, and told of the family with two boys and a girl who lost everything made of fabric due to the fiberglass insulation debris.  The boys are big World Wrestling fans, so she and Meg (with the help of the Thursday Group) made two quilts for them, one with red and black borders, the other with blue and black borders.

The little girl likes purple and zebra-print, so Glynis made this quilt for her.

Meg showed two of Iris' quilts, since Iris could not attend.  The quilt below is quite inventive--is it a nine-patch?  a sixteen patch?  a twenty-five patch?  No one but Iris knows!

Iris also made this pretty quilt, which Meg refers to as a "Zipper" quilt.

**********

Meg showed off some clever button flowers that her sister-in-law sent her. This was our project for the evening.  Everyone made a few of these flowers and put them in tiny flower pots and took home a pretty finished project.  These were simply made of buttons with floral wire run through them and twisted to make a stem.  It was fun and easy, and would make a great gift for a bazaar or party favor.

Our next meeting will be July 10th, hosted by Estela.
