Kelly B: If you
didn’t know has co-author a book with Andrea Johnson, “
Modern Designs forClassic Quilts” which you can purchase through Barnes & Noble and
Amazon. She edited and is in
“Sew toSwap” by Chrissie Grace. She will be going
to Houston, TX for the International Quilt Show/Market with her publisher 10/27/12-11/4/12. Get the books - they are wonderful.
Kelly M received 16
blocks and two more on the way from the quilt swap.
Block
Swap:
Our second block swap belongs to Tamie and we will be making
a Granny Square. We each will receive an
email with a tutorial on how to make the block and samples of color
variations. She gave us 2 ½” squares of
white for the background and you will use fabrics from your stash. Tamie wants a high contrast in colors. She wants it
scrappy, so don’t use the same fabrics.
Don’t use black, gray is fine. Do
not trim blocks as in the directions-Tamie will cut the blocks to size. Bring your blocks next month.
Geri will be the next
person in our block swap. She will give
us the pattern at our next meeting, but it will be due January 2013. We will double up on blocks in the January
for the block swap for the December & January people and due at the
February meeting.
New:
Next
month bring other ideas of other projects that the guild could be working on in
addition to our block swap.

Rita - is working on a BOTM program for People, Places &
Quilts with a modern flair. Also offered
the use of her Accu-Quilt Go cutter machine.
The block she showed was a version of a drunkard’s path. It was mentioned that using a “Curve Master Foot”
which fits any machine is great for sewing curves (you can purchase online with
Amazon). I missed getting a picture of this but you can see her cut blocks in Lisa's picture above.
Phoebe - Quilt for Halloween party photo backdrop.
