February 2009 Meeting

Q2 February Meeting

at Shari’s Home

SHARI - Shari is the first to start out our new “Hostess of the Month” quilt project. She picked a darling panel for the center of her quilt (see photo) and we’re completing it by making two star block from the charms she passed out (the pattern is included with the fabric). If you weren’t able to make it to Shari’s, your charms were sent home with someone else to be delivered to you. Make sure you complete them and bring them to the next quilt meeting so Shari can finish her cute quilt!

Shari also showed off 2 quilt tops she finished! The first was a super cute flannel baby quilt and the second a darling snowman panel quilt. GREAT JOB SHARI!!!

KIM – I brought my 9-patch quilt top, in pieces.

WENDY – Wendy brought her 9-patch quilt, which turned out really, really cute! She also shared a chicken recipe which sounds delicious – we’ll all have to try it!

BOBBI – Bobbi also brought her 9-patch quilt. It turned out great – and I think it’s the biggest of them all!

ROXANNE – Bärbel brought Roxanne’s 9-patch. It looks great! We can’t wait to see it completed! We missed you this month!

BÄRBEL – Bärbel brought her 9-patch baby quilt and showed us the fabric for the next 2 she’s going to make. Really, really cute idea!

LAURIE – Laurie’s 9-patch quilt – very cool pattern! Check out the photos, it turned out beautifully! She also brought an antique Lone Star quilt that she bought for a steal of a deal! We were all a little jealous of that.

JUDY – Judy was binding her last I-Spy quilt and we made her show it off before she sent it off to her sister. The earth tone fabrics she used around the bright I-Spy squares was really neat! It really made the blocks pop. She also made two 9-patch quilts! One is a bigger version of a cute little spring wall hanging she made many years ago – it’s going to be a table topper! She had a great idea of how to use the rest of your 2 ½ inch strips – use them together to make a really cute border – check hers out! The other quilt, also darling, used the 9-patches and white hourglass blocks.
LORI – We missed you! We would all like you to bring your magic little blue quilt book to quilt group next month (the one with all the quilting tricks). And we can’t wait to see your 9-patch quilt top!

SUNNY – We missed you too! We brought your B-day fat quarters to Shari’s, hopefully they’ve made there way to you. You’ll probably get a few more next month from those who missed. We saw a preview of your 9-patch quilt at our October meeting…we’re all anxiously awaiting the finished product!

Thanks so much Shari for having us at your home. The lemon meringue pie was great – we truly enjoyed ourselves.
