Tonight’s meeting was full of wonderful show and tell projects.

Alice shared her quilts, Jennifer shared her recycled Jean purses and her small quilt made with her Uncle’s ties, and Nina shared her quilt that was a block swap.👍

Great job ladies!

Monday, January 5 630 to 830 at the clay senior center .This month and next we will be working on quilts for the kids at McMahon Ryan. Last year we did vertical strips in our quilts. I think that this year we should go around and around a middle block. I have pictures to show you and I am bringing my two containers of scraps. I have one smallish bag of blocks left from last year if anyone would like to use them. If you want to use a middle block in your quilt I will have some available for everyone. Backings will also be ready for you. Because these quilts go to McMahon Ryan we won't be using batting. I will also be bringing in some yardage that can be used in your quilts. You may want to work with a friend. This Monday you will need cutting utensils (scissors and/or rotary cutters). We have cutting mats there as well as five machines and two ironing boards with irons. I'm looking forward to Monday night. Making quilts for kids is always a rewarding project. If you have any questions text me - 315-427-1349. Alice
