March Meeting Notes:

While Edie was off enjoying a quilted weekend retreat, my trusty assistant Ann (who was helping me gather info) and I documented the meeting highlights:

The March meeting was scheduled to be a Sit-n-Sew, but we also had Lu showing us more information on Swedish Embroidery. 

First up, though, was show-n-tell while we ate delish food!

Donna P. shows us the Swedish Embroidery afghan she made.

Gayle did a marvelous job on our 2009 “Pioneer Sampler” BOM quilt.

Donna A., Tammy, Gayle & Evalyn proudly displayed their bowls that they finished from last month’s “Longarm Michele’s” program.

Donna A. shows off her 2009 “Pioneer Sampler” completed quilt, too!

Donna A. knitted a soft and luxurious small lap robe.

Tammy showed off a new BOM quilt she made with Pat Sloan’s “Georgia” fabric line.  The FREE six-month BOM pattern can be found at www.bomquilts.com.

Tammy also received a REALLY early birthday gift from Linda at www.AbbiMays.com of Texas wildflower fabrics.

Evalyn brought her daughter George Ann, and she displayed her (adjusted) Turning Twenty quilt top.

Evalyn has that GO TO IT quilter’s spirit and has kept up with the 2010 BOM quilt “Santorini Stars” from www.BOMquilts.com.

Joyce has also completed the two blocks from the www.BOMquilts.com 2010 block of the month quilt with some bold colors!

George Ann brought along a colorful purse made of gum wrappers that she picked up in Mexico – so festive!

March Birthday Celebration:

This month, we celebrated Kat’s birthday! 

March Swedish Weaving Program Photos:

Lu gave those who were interested a handout she had put together on Swedish Weaving, which included new information as well as the information that Joyce gave us the last time we learned this fun craft.  Here are photos of the works-in-progress and some completed projects by others in our group:

Kat begins!

This is the way we start to weave, start to weave, start to weave … this is the way we start to weave…

Donna A. is getting the hang of it!

And no Newsletter of ours Would be Complete Without an Ooh-Laa-Laa Showing of Evalyn’s SOCKS!

Hope to see everyone on April 19th!
