Starting Time Change

Our starting time has changed to 11 am. This is because the dance class has gotten so large that they are using the room we use. It will soon be tax season and in the past the center has been open until 4 pm. I will know next week what our schedule for January is.

Snowman Table Runner

Supplies needed to make the table runner are:
about 5/8 yd of white or off white for Snowman bodies
6 5" squares any color for scarves
scraps of orange for noses (can use carrot buttons)
black embroidery floss or pigma pen for eyes and mouth
about 15" x 40" piece of batting
embroidery floss for hand quilting
steam-a-seam or other fusible

This will be a fun project that you can use all winter. It's always more fun to make the same thing as others. If you bring extra fabric we can swap fabrics.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. May you and yours be safe as you travel this holiday season.

Diana, her daughter Sara, Marilyn and Janet came today. Diana, Marilyn and Janet all laid out quilts. Sara is making her 1st quilt. She got the top finished and was planning on finishing it when she got home.

MEETING TIMES
When I arrived yesterday at the community center I found out they had a rental in the evening. That meant that we could use the center form 10 -2 and from 6-10. The rental schedule can change from day to day. If you are unsure of the times we can use the center, you can always call them and ask when the quilters can be there.

Snowman Table Runner: On Sat Dec 4th some of us will be making a snowman table runner. The supply list can be picked up at the center during our meeting prior to Dec 4th.

Quilt Shows Sep 24-25

There are 2 quilt shows within driving distance of Louisville Friday and Saturday. In Elizabethtown, KY at the Pritchard Community Center the Stitchers Quilt Guild is hosting a show. There will be quilts, exhibits, vendors, prizes and food. The hours are Friday 9-6 and Saturday 9-5. The other show is in Edwardsville, IN at the United Methodist Church across from the Quilting Bee. The hours are Friday 9-7 and Saturday 9-4. The Quilting Bee will also be open the same hours and is having a sale.

Quilt shows are a great place to find inspiration and get re-energized. One email I received this week called this the Quilting Season. It's the time to stay inside as the gardening is winding down and the cold weather is coming. The kids and grandkids are in school.

Sat September 11th Meeting

Pam, Kay and Ossie all started a new fall applique quilt. It has lots of pumpkins and vines on it. Since they are all using the same pattern and some of the same fabrics it will be interesting to see how different/same they end up. Janet put binding on 2 strippie quilts and then worked on another quilt.
