We hope you will be inspired and enriched through your time spent with quilting friends!
The September meeting opened with a wonderful lecture and demonstration by Randy Newman on the craft of making rugs from fabric strips. He explained about the different methods of weaving and crocheting the strips. He had samples of rugs, bowls, baskets and table mats along with the different frames he built which are needed to support the design work while its being created.

Show and Tell
This 4-Patch Posy was made by Suzanne B.'s mom. It is a huge top with 99 posy blocks. Suzanne is one of our LA's in the club. Naturally, she will have a great time quilting it up for her mom.
This huge quilt top is one of several that Lisa S. rescued from a goodwill-type shop. She is thinking about how she will quilt it. I call this an orange peel variation design, since the peels are pieced with multiple fabrics. The peels are appliqued onto the squares.
This lovely Disappearing 9 Patch quilt was made by Susie S.
Here is a lovely wall hanging made by Shirley P. for her autumn decor.
