Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild Meeting – May 2009
Posted By drsao on May 2, 2009
Today our Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild got to see Abigail Dolinger’s collection of Friendship Quilts that she has accumulated throughout her vast “military” travels! If she couldn’t find a quilting group where her husband was stationed, she created her own. I don’t think that I have ever seen so many examples of SUCCESSFUL block exchanges and round robins anywhere – ever! Aby reminded us that IT ISN’T JUST ABOUT THE QUILTS – it is also about the friendships and social support that is created by our quilting experiences! A lot of us were nodding our heads – SO TRUE!
As always, we enjoyed the guild members’ great SHOW AND TELLS! AND….that’s not all! Some of us stayed for a class on how to make an OHIO STARS MINIATURE QUILT. I am happy to say that I completed 2 blocks……..they are very cute – and very tiny – 3 1/2″ square! We had fun!! I actually made 2 blocks……and only occasionally did I experience a “DEAR JANE” flashback. LOL Thanks for the quilt instruction, Amy, and for the chocolate too. 🙂
I hope you enjoy the pictures – don’t fail to notice that Sherry – who was wearing BUNNY EARS at our meeting last month – is wearing a hat with a MAY DAY FLOWER on it. Thanks, Sherry, for your happy spirit!
Thanks to Marla for navigating today and avoiding all of the RACE DAY TRAFFIC!!!!
Next month Augusta Cole will be with us teaching us how to make her Confetti Quilt – I took a picture of her quilt today!
