november 09 meeting






show and tell
Maurine couldn’t venture out because she just needs to be patient and keep healing at home. Although we didn't hear from Pris, we think she was at home voting in the Op:Coop contest. (We did have three laptops out and got some votes in while we met.)

Miriam has been busy with some Christmas sewing—eye wraps made with novelty fabrics. She showed us some squares she made with a kit Diane gave her—it will likely be a baby quilt. Miriam also had a success story with one of her jeans quilts. She showed us a photo of a grandson with his fiance wrapped up in the quilt she had given him. It looked like a cover shot from a J Crew catalog--handsome young people with a gorgeous quilt.

Patricia revealed the fabric designs she has been developing with Naomi Cox. Entitled Edo Rising, the collection has an Asian feel. Diane, our pro, had a few comments and an industry name for Patricia to talk with about the potential of the designs.

Harriet has created a phenomenal quilt out of some piecing she inherited from the group. She likes her project so much that its home will be in the living room of her log home. She also showed us a deluxe pillow she made out of her K square.

Dear Flora lost her cat in the last week. Her feline friend was ill with an unpronouncable cancer for the last year. A good friend and a vet that makes house calls were with her on Saturday when the final moment came. Flora brought a box of pink fabric for us to comment on for the YF girl quilt she is going to make. And she showed us a picture of a fun quilt she is making with an 11-year old with Volkswagen bugs with yo-yo wheels.

Diane hand stitched a gorgeous Hawaiian quilt for a client throughout the meeting. She showed us all the K squares—which are looking great together. The two final squares should be in her hands by Sunday night. Diane also gave us an impromptu lesson on using freezer paper for turning the edges on applique pieces.
