On Saturday Kay, Pam, Ossie, Diana and Janet were busy on various projects. New quilts were started, others were getting finished. One good thing about meeting at the community center is that we can put some tables together to trim up or lay out large quilts.

Linda stopped by with some donated fabric for our charity quilts. Last week we donated about 10 quilts to Kosair. Next week we will meet from 11:00 to 5:00.

Happy 4th of July! Have a safe and enjoyable holiday. Our next meeting day is July 17th. I have visited 2 quilt shops so far this weekend and I'm finding new and different projects that we can make. I hope to visit at least 2 more shops before I return to Louisville.

Last Saturday Pam, Ossie, Kay, Dianna, Shirley and Janet spent the evening at the community center. We all received 3 FQ's and a pattern to make a small purse. Everyone got theirs started and will most likely finish it this Saturday. A good time was had by all.

We continue to meet on Saturdays, trying to escape some of the heat. The pool is open so parking can be a challenge if you arrive after it opens. Lots of quilting is getting done. Pam quilted 2 quilts in one day! Ossie, Diana, Pam and Anita worked on their quilts. Janet was there for a short time before going to a 'Picture Piecing' class taught by Cynthia England at Austins Sewing Center.

Next Saturday, June 12th, noon - 2pm there will have a Stash Bash. Bring your ideas for using 3 FQ's in a project. I have a pattern for a purse that I plan to make. Some lucky people will receive some fabric to make their project.

We had a split day yesterday. We met from 10-2 and 6-10:30. During the break some people shopped and others napped. We welcomed Diana to our group this week. She has made several quilts already and is excited to learn and try more things. She is an artist who has changed mediums.

Other members present were Pam, Kay, Ossie, Marilyn and Janet. New quilts were begun and others are nearing completion.

Saturday was a really pretty day so most of the quilters must have been outside. Six ventured out to Sun Valley and 3 of those only stayed briefly. The 3 of us who stayed had a good time. New quilts were started by each of us so more cutting than sewing was done. We had some inquiries about our group so we may see some new faces.

I have posted the schedule thru July. There are a lot of days when we can stay until 5 pm and then some when we can stay even later. On the days when we will need to leave for a couple hours we could go shopping or out to eat or both. In the past we have planned projects for days we can stay late. This schedule may change as the community centers' schedule changes. I'll try to let people know but you can always call the center.

We had 7 people come today. Kay chose the Card Trick block for this month. The ones that were done today looked nice. Other accomplishments included: pillowcase dresses completed, one purse completed and another about half done, quilt back measured, 2 quilts sandwiched and marked for piecing and a twister wreath about half done. We also discussed some projects we'd like to do as a group so look for that info.
