First I need to thank Emily and Misty for helping with this month's blog post! I appreciate the pictures and notes you took for those of us that missed the meeting.
First up was showing the blocks we made with our 3-6" squares we picked last month. I don't know about anyone else, but I know that I had a tough time figuring out how to fit them into a 10" block! Thank goodness we could add one more color to the mix. Everyone was so creative! Was fun...we will need to do it again sometime!
Cherie brought some of her projects she has been working on. Always love tabletoppers!

Beautiful with the Stonehenge Fabric!
Charla showed a few new ideas from her shop, Valley Fabric. Cute apron made from a man's shirt! You can even take the sleeves and make bags from them.
Darling baby quilt!
Fun Row by Row quilt with the popular Sock Monkey fabric.
Our quilt BOM will be a Patriotic quilt to donate to the VA Hospital in Cheyenne. Misty made up the Uncle Sam quilt block samples. The pattern can be found at Moda Bake Shop here. Bring your block to our next Guild meeting.
Holly showed a Blooming 9-Path she made for her demonstration. The is a great pattern for large floral prints. The pattern is in the "Tradition with a Twist" book that you can find here.
So pretty!
Gale shared tips on piping. Ellen showed the group how she used piping on her finished "Let It Snow" quilt from the BOM contest, where she won 2nd place.
At the end of the meeting the ladies that brought an ugly fq had an exchange. Still not seeing much "ugliness" in those fabrics ladies!
For our May Guild Meeting please bring 2.5" strips WOF to participate in the Strip Poker Game! The more you bring, the more rounds you will get to play! Should be fun!
