Riley Blake Challenge:
The
Modern Quilt Guild is hosting a Riley Blake challenge using The Cottage Garden
fabric collection. The due date for the
challenge is late July.
Challenge Rules:
1. Make something fantastic
that is quilted.
2. Make something you have
never done before.
3. Challenge yourself to
learn something new.
4. Use only Riley Blake
“The Cottage Garden” fabrics and coordinating Riley Blake basics and
solids. (Viking Quilt & Sew on Woodruff Road has almost the entire The
Cottage Garden line in stock.)
Philanthropy:
Darlene
is leading our philanthropy. We are
going to create a lap size quilt that will be auctioned at a silent auction at
a December 2nd fundraiser for the Meyer Center. The goal is to have all of the blocks for the
quilt complete by August and to arrange the blocks into a quilt top design at
the August meeting. Darleen volunteered
to piece the blocks into a quilt top and supply the batting. Fannie has volunteered to quilt the quilt.
Block of the Month Challenge:
Lucy has selected a wonky
star for this month’s block of the month (BOM). Please make your blocks
using blues and greens so that these blocks can be combined with the previous
month’s blocks for the philanthropy quilt.
If you have not made last month’s BOM, you can still make one and bring
it to the May meeting.
Here are the blocks
turned in for last month’s block of the month.
Swap:
The oven mitt swap will
be in May – if you bring one, you get to take one home.
Show & Share:
Fannie – T-shirt quilt
Debby – hand quilted star quilt using Kaffe Fassett fabrics
