March 2014 is TAQG - April Showered us In Jelly Rolls - May Featured Pebble Rehm

For May the blog editor was gone to see a new grand-baby. There are a few pictures and as I collect more I will post them.


Sherry Worley came and spoke to us about TAQG in March. She was able to explain all the ins and outs of the Texas Association of Quilt Guilds and the quilt show coming up in July. The show will feature Sue Nickels as the guest speaker and workshop. Sherry showed some of the "Nickel" quilts and members were able to work on making one. It looks like we will be ready to join in the excitement for the TAQG show! She also brought some fun mini quilts that are used to display the many pins that are collected by quilters.







The April was a rock'n jelly roll race. Everyone brought 2 1/2 inch strips from different fabrics and the race was on to see who could sew them into a lap top size quilt. We also had our raffle quilt drawing and our own Debi won the beautiful black and white quilt!

We sold tickets for the raffle quilt at Famers and Flees one Saturday. Can you tell it was cold and rainy?





May was a very exciting program. Pebble Rehm came with lots of beautiful quilts. We met in the Church of Christ annex for this meeting and the room was full of quilters and quilts.

February 2014 the Month of Valentines and Hearts

What a good way to wrap ourselves in love. Members brought their Valentines Heart Blocks show their love. Patterns were shared and it was fun to see the different shapes that hearts can come in.

January 2014 Making Travel Cases and Ironing Boards

This month is for starting the year off right! Bonnie did just that by showing us how to make travel cases for our sewing supplies and a quick and easy way to make an ironing board from a TV tray.
Members were able to choose one or do both during the meeting. It was a great way to add to our quilting accessories and keep us organized for new classes and retreats!
