April Highlights and May Meeting


The next meeting will be Thursday, May 9th.  Julie will be presenting a program on "Hexagon Quilts, Not Just Your Grandmother's Flower Garden".  Donna K. will be providing refreshments.

Rosan presented a program on Slice and Dice Quilts.  There are many ways to slice up nine patch blocks.  Some of them work best with a uniform fabric in the corners.  Handouts were given out for Jelly Bean, Dragonfly and Basket blocks.  Thanks Rosan!

In addition to the quilts pictured below, Judy, Julie and Rosan all made small quilts for Operation Kid Comfort.  The quilts are not shown in the photos as they have children's names on them.
