Coming Up: Small Quilt Auction

October 3rd is our small quilt auction.  Are you working on your donation yet?  If not, you still have some time!  Barb is all ready with this sweet embroidered little quilt.  Love that sewing machine!

A little upside down, but do not forget to work on your Christmas Star BOM.  We get two extra weeks to make these blocks as the next exchange won't happen til a little later on.

I think this block is Crystal's--she is ahead of the game if it is.  Now where is that pattern, I need to get started!

Quilt-O was Fun!

 If you missed our last meeting we had a lot of fun.  There was show and share as always and I had to get  a picture Fran's beautiful Blue Ridge Beauty--a Quiltville quilt! 

 Also snapped one of Debbie's gorgeous flower.  So many great quilts as always!

 My table had some serious Quilt-O players.  I think most everyone won the game at least once!  Thanks to Kathy O. for running bingo and for everyone who helped with prep, setup, take down and calling.  We appreciate your hard work!

Next Up: Small Quilt Auction

October 17th Meeting Toothbrush Rag Rugs. 

Debbie is hosting this  hands-on class learning how to make Toothbrush Rag Rugs. It's fun and easy and requires only 2 supplies- fabric strips and a tool Nimble Thimbles will be supplying.

What do you need to bring:

• A pair of scissors
• 1 inch wide by WOF (with of fabric) strips in your choice of color. Bring as many as you like since you can add later to make a bigger rag rug. We will bring extras for guests.

October 19 or 20-22 Quilt Camp in Prescott-  This is a great time to get away and sew at the beautiful Emanuel Pines Camp in Prescott. The price is inexpensive,  sleeping accommodations are simple, the food is good and the company is phenomenal! You will be inspired by all the different types of projects folks are working on and it is a great time to seek help if you are stuck on something.  Only 2 spots are available. Call Colleen for more information.

Save the Date! 

December 12- Annual Nimble Thimbles Christmas Party. Mary Platt  will host the party again at her lovely home. She and Kathy O'Brien, our dynamic duo, have been planning and will send out an evite in November. They could use some additional help that week. Please contact Mary by email if you want to help.

Up Next: QUILTO with Kathy O.

Join us on Tuesday to play QUILTO and win great prizes!  Don't miss this popular annual event!  Kathy O. is graciously hosting again.  QUILTO is exactly like BINGO, but uses fun quilting terms like thread, bobbin, and scissors.  


Some show and tell.

 Thanks Jo for sending me some pictures!  I am guessing these two gals won the flying geese blocks this month! The next block is a Christmas Star if you are interested in joining in.

 Our speaker Carrie Bloomston looks very relaxed surrounded by her gorgeous quilts!
