We had a fun meeting in October! First off is Show-n-Tell:
Misty practiced her quilting skills with these cute panels and quilting them on her machine. Very nicely done! If you click on the picture, you might be able to see the bling she put on each panel too!

Debbie made a gorgeous quilt and then quilted it herself using a longarm. She traveled to St. George, Utah and used one of the longarms at Let's Quilt. Click on the store name to find out more about it. Debbie had never used a longarm before and look how great she did! Cost was $15/hour and took her about 4 hours to quilt. So impressive!
Debbie also made this scarf for Cherie, who is posing in her best "Vanna" pose!
Cherie showed us a fun Halloween quilt! She made her own pattern. So Cute! The borders surrounding the ghosts are small pockets where she can put candy. The ghosts are made of tricot with button eyes.
Closer look at details.
Cherie also made a gorgeous table topper. Similar to a bargello quilt but is called a Stargello. Cherie will be teaching a class on how to make these tabletoppers here.
Our demo this month was by Ellen. She showed us how to make fat quarter bags. What a fun way to use up our fq's that we have in our stash!
Notice the bling on this bag! These would be fun to make for the little girls in your life!
I can't believe I am going to say this!!!!! We ACTUALLY played STRIP POKER! Was fun being able to win other ladies strips. Some ladies were more lucky than others though I noticed!
Cherie was very generous in bringing prizes to play another game. I was one of the lucky winners and found lots of charm squares with a Western theme as my prize. I think there are enough squares to actually make a whole quilt. Thank you Cherie!
To play the game, everyone was given a paper plate. Cherie told everyone that she was going to flip a coin and you had to guess if it was going to be heads or tails. So we all had to put the paper plate either on our head or cover our behinds. Ummmmm.....you can see that Cherie was getting a kick out of her game here!
Of course so was everyone else! Again, thank you Cherie for your generosity!
We are wrapping up making Humanitarian quilts for the year but decided to make 2 more 10-minute block quilts---this time for girls. We will use purple and pink for the centers of the blocks.
Here are a couple of pictures of the boy blocks we made last month.
They really turned out cute!
Remember to bring back your blocks next month if you took fabric to make one.
Our guild meeting will be the 3rd Thursday, November 21 at 6 p.m.
Demo will be by Jana and Janice.
Next year we would like to make a quilt for ourselves. Be thinking of what we can do as a guild, whether it be a Row Quilt, Round Robin, Mystery, ???? Come with your ideas and how we can make it work for our guild!
