April 2017

Saturday, April 22, 2017


There were just a few of us this month (Rhonda, Sue, Patty, Linda and Sheree).  Too many things going on, weddings, baseball, illness.  But we had a good show and tell.  We had bar-be-que, pasta salad, chips and dip and turtle cheese cake.

Deb Beam - haven't heard from you hope you are doing well.  Hear you are getting ready to retire.

Linda put together a panel she bought at the Lancaster Quilt Show.  It is for a photographer who recently did a wedding in Paris.


Rhonda whipped up a baby quilt for a new niece named Lucille Rose.


Next five quilts were done by Rhonda.  They are commissioned memory quilts.





Rhonda also put together a Dr. Suess panel for another new baby coming soon.


Rhonda turned "60" in March and to celebrate she put together a birthday quilt with 60 6-inch blocks with 3-inch blocks in the border.


Also Rhonda's Spider Web String quilt.  Top done.  Pattern from MSQC using their triangle paper templates.  Lots of scraps used.


Sheree finished her Round Robin top group quilt.  She left it with Rhonda to machine quilt.


Sue is making the Fancy Forest baby quilt for a new grand baby and is custom quilting it.


Patty finished her Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2016 and has it on Harleigh's bed.
 Patty did an owl wallhanging to give to her daughter-in-law but sold it to a friend before it was finished.

Rhonda visited Hawaii to celebrate her 60th birthday and 40th wedding anniversary.  She made sure she visited some quilt shops.  Lots of goodies from local quilt shops and "Fabric Marts".  It was fun.

Next quilt club tentatively will be June 3rd due to Memorial Day the week before.  Have a great month and keep working on your round robins.  We are getting close and want to get the picture this summer.  Patty will be hosting that day so we can get pictures in her backyard garden.
Until then - Happy quilting!
