October 3 - Meeting

A rainy day but a room full of women laughing and enjoying one another. A business meeting followed by demo's of new tools, Show 'n Tell, a drawing for 'secret sisters' and three fortunate women who had their names drawn to receive fat quarters from each member that signed up for 'fat quarter club.' It is always a big stash builder. 

Demo of a brand new tool we were excited about was from Blocloc tool . 
Check out the demo online.
It will make a perfect block...no slips!!!


 This was a donated top from a few years back by an elderly former member, Arlene P. It was quilted and bound and given to Plains Baptist Church where we hold our meetings. Carol T. is the pastor's wife and a member.


 Barb D. - a backpack made from charm squares...she is ready for her trip and as she said, 'will not lose this because no one will have one like it'. Really cute!!
Ready with her backpack and the sweater her secret sister made her last year....Looking great!
