I am sorry I put this up late... Just a week, but I kind of forgot about it. The guild met today for a Mystery quilt sewing day set up by Toni and her quilt shop "Quilts from the Heart" I didn't stop by, but I sure hope they had a great day. Our October meeting lesson was given by Jackie E. She showed us a new (to ND) knitting technique for making scarves. The Yarn is a bit different than normal yarn. Looks like a great idea for newcomers to try, because it is very forgiving. I took pictures if her steps, you veterans can probably figure it out from the pictures... We had a small group and some show and tell. Cheryl K. wasn't there but she gave Peggy several Hospice tops. That is the majority of the show and tell. Great job, again, Cheryl! We talked at guild about the Christmas blocks. It was decided that if you want to participate you could use any christmas fabric and a cream fabric and make what you want for a 12.5 inch exchange block. Make one block for the exchange, and one block for the drawing and you will have an opportunity to win a set of blocks (usually about 8, but depends on how many participate) We always wrap one block to put in the exchange and you will get a different wrapped block from another quilter. You will at least go home with one Christmas block. The Christmas party is always a fun party! We have a pot luck and games and NO business meeting... So hope all you members are planning to attend!
