Last meeting 7/17/18 - PUP

We had a record number of 9 quilters who got their 2017-2018 PUP projects done.  Good job on meeting the challenge.
Then we had a fun evening of seeing the poor unfinished projects that we all have in our closets.  If you still want to be involved in this challenge, feel free to bring your projects to the next meeting.


Next charity meeting 7/31/18

Our next meeting is a 5th Tuesday which means Charity night.  There will be no programs or announcements.  Bring your machines, cutting tools, and willingness to work on charity quilts.


Meeting 8/7/18

For the first meeting in August, we will host AQG's own, Barbara Janson.  She is a traveling teacher and will be giving us her insight on how to create landscape quilts.

Block of the month - Cherries
Also bring your cherry BOM.  Our BOM is from the Vintage Farm Girl book (Lori Holt).  The first month is the cherry block.  Feel free to make the 12" or 6" in your fave fabrics.

Meeting 8/21/18

Our 2nd meeting in August, we will be visited by Madonna from Mad B's.  Her topic is pressing and to starch or not to starch.  This will be a great time to learn tips and tricks on how to make your cut pieces stay straight.

Last meeting:  Quilts of Valor

Our last meeting was so much fun.  Jennifer Wilson gave a wonderful presentation about Quilts of Valor.

Did you know:

• The organization has more veterans that have been nominated for a quilt than quilts to give them.
• The recommended size is 60x80 (minimum 55X65)
• The quit does not have to be patriotic.
• Labels are required .. Nimble Thimbles has ordered some and they will be available to purchase

We also had played left, right, center and had three winners who won a stack of red, white, and blue fabric.

Meeting on 7/17 - PUP

Our next meeting is our annual PUP - Poor Unfinished Project.

If you have your project from last year done, bring it to share and get entered in a drawing for a gift card.

If you want to participate for this year, bring up to 3 projects that you have started (or at least thought about) and have not gotten done.  You will have a chance to share your story about the project.  Then the group will pick the project you need to get done by July 2019.  

This is a fun night with lots of stories that you will be able to relate to.  Come and get to know your fellow quilters better.
