Eleven of us visited Tabby’s Quilt Shop in
Beaufort, SC on September 22, 2012 (our first field trip). We met the Beaufort Modern Quilt Guild
Chapter who was having a sewing day at the shop. They have invited us to come back to visit
and bring some show & tell to share with them. The owner Rhonda is having a quilt
show/exhibit next spring which we were invited to participate in. You can sell your quilts during this show. More information will be brought forward to
our group once we know more. Robert Kaufman
has been asked to sponsor the show. If
you did not get the chance to go, take some time to go to this shop. There was some great fabrics, patterns and
the owner is the sweetest.
·
Discussed with the group in attendance whether
the 6:30 pm meeting time is still a great time for everyone and we agreed to
keep meeting at the same time.
Block
Swap:
·
Our first block swap belongs to Kelly M. and we
will be making a Herringbone pattern. We
each received a copy of the pattern and decided that we could email our
patterns (to save the cost of copies).
She provided purple and black fabric for us to use in certain areas of
her block. Kelly asked that we NOT USE: Batiks or Kaffe Fassett fabrics. But you can use Amy Butler, David Butler,
Denyse Schmidt, polka dots, solids and any modern fabrics. You can make the stripe match going across or
different on each side, but the purple
and black need to be in the places which she told us. According to Kelly the directions are easy
and press your seams open. Bring your
blocks next month.
·
Tamie will be the next person in our block swap.
·
A word from Alice: “Don’t wait until the last minute to make
your blocks. Put all the care and love
into each block that you'd want to go into your block."
