QA

As you can see, we had a good turnout for Quiltaholics Anonymous on Monday at the Herzfeld Memorial Library in Benton. 


Everyone brought projects.  Fay and Helen are both working on a block of the month they started last year and they are accusing me of getting them involved in it because I sent them the link.  But look how beautiful this is going to be:
 
 
Pat had an assembly line going for her cute little pincushions:
 
Pat also brought some completed blocks for a preview of the sampler quilt we will be working on in 5:30 workshop at our regular guild meeting.  You won't want to miss this. 
 

Jane worked on one of her famous scarves:
 
 
She was also working on this embroidery project:
 

Brenda put binding  on a charity quilt she finished:
 
Check out these cute little angel book marks that Windy is making out of paper clips, ribbon and silver beads:
 
Fay finished her Snowman quilt top.  The photo makes it look like those are printed panels but they're not.  It is all appliqued and pieced.

This is a good time to bring your problems and let us help you figure them out.  I brought a quilt top I recently finished and can't decide how I want to quilt it.  It is made from a pattern by Sandy Klop and is called Triple Crown.  I used American Jane prints.  There will be a small circle appliqued in the center of the large white "blossoms."
 
Fay recently finished this quilt top and wondered what we thought about the border. 
 
Should she do this? (one border)
 
or this? (two borders)

We recommended finding more of that lightest shade of purple and making two borders.  That way there wouldn't be any of the same color touching the blocks on the outer edge.  I'm anxious to see what solution she chooses.

Won't you join us next time?
Gwen
