QA Recap
Quilter's Anonymous met May 17th!  We were a small group, but had a lot to share!

Joan is visiting for the month of May and has begun another Jillily project!

She was busy creating miles of 3/8 inch bias strips!

Shannon also began a new project with a brand-spanking new Fig Tree fat quarter pack!  We all look forward to watching her progress!

Sally was busy using the big counter to cut out night gowns for her daughter!  Such fun!

Sue has returned for the summer and she began a new hexagon project!  It was wonderful to watch it grow!

Denna only has a few blocks left to piece on her second quilt!  Her progress is amazing!

Terry recently returned from a trip.  Wow!  She accomplished a lot of handwork while gone!

Hand applique' with embroidery embellishments!  Wonderful!

Terry also finished two blocks on a Holiday Redwork quilt!  Her accomplishments were so inspiring!

The next QA Meeting is June 28th!

Scholarship Recipients

We are always impressed by the accomplishments of the young people in our community!  As a guild it is an honor to award two scholarships each year!

Dariah Songer received the Outstanding Senior in Home Economics Award of $500 the first year and $250 for three consecutive years while attending school full-time.

Both of these women reflect everything that is great about our quilting community!  It is an honor to assist them as they build their future!

Friendship Quilt for Jill Finley!

We all had such fun making this hand appliquéd quilt for Jill!  Many hands working together ... made light work ... and the result was wonderful!  Thanks to the many members who assisted and to Diane U. for serving as the chairperson!

A Rip-Roaring Success!

In February, members who wanted to participate in the Rip-Roaring Exchange submitted their "spring" themed fabric!  Each quilter took home the fabric of another and secretly created something special with it!

Darlene made two beautiful sewing accessories for Shannon, as well as a pillowcase!  Such fun!

Shannon made Terri a zipper bag and knitting needle case!

Terri made Susie a sewing machine cover!

Susie made Darlene a handbag!

Diane made Denna a lap quilt!

Marianne made Diane a beautiful table runner!

Sally made Marianne a sewing mat and fabric box!

Denna made Sally an organizer and zippered bag!

What a wonderful and fun event!  It was amazing to see what everyone had done with another's fabric!  Completely unpredictable and wonderful in every way possible!  Each item a treasure!  We all owe a huge thanks to Darlene for organizing this very successful event!  Thanks a million Darlene!
