We had another party!

Our group of intrepid quilters are nothing if not a bunch of party animals. Oh yes, we had another party. This was our annual end of the year get together in Old Louisville at one of our member's homes. Sheelah is a quilter that hasn't made a quilt...yet. We are working on that. You know making a quilt is a pretty big endeavor and Sheelah's life, it seems is always on the go. You quilter's out there know this is not a good way to make a quilt. Although, I do know of people that quilt in RV's and such, so it is possible, but, our friend is on the road a lot and is driving so there's no "down time" in the back of the RV to make a quilt.

Anyway, as a token of our love for her, we all made a block and the lovely Joan, sewed and quilted them all together. Great job Joan! Oh my goodness such nice people belong to our group.
Next we show off our lovely socks.

Remember: Tuesday, January 8th we meet at 10:00 at the back parking lot of the church for another Sit N Sew at Joan's house. Lunch will be at the Hawk glass blowing studio.

Regular meetings in the church on January 15th.

Merry Christmas!

Here's the schedule for the next 6 months...smile

Well, once again the group has had a fantastic brain storming/planning session. This "semester" I think we have a variety everyone should enjoy. When we are not traveling or learning something new, we are having our usual Sit-N-Sew at Northeast Christian Church, in Louisville, Kentucky, USA every Tuesday.

That being said, our plans are thus:

July 24th: Shirley will be finishing up the Underground Sampler blocks.

July 31st: We will be touring the Locust Grove Home. This is an antebellum home with some civil war era quilts. We will have a guided tour and lunch at the home.

August 7th: It's time already for the signature block exchange to begin. Our Bloomin' Rose block exchange was such a huge success, that once again, Shirley will lead us in our gift to each other for the Christmas party in December. Look through your stash of fabric and bring your biggest piece of material to work from, or be creative and bring what you want for your color coordinated blocks this time.

August 21st: Julie organizes a trip to the Kentucky State Fair.

September 11th: Joan teaches a mystery class.

October 16th: Sheelah organizes a trip to Louisville Stoneware and Hadley Pottery.

November 16th: Shirley teaches a string quilt class.

November 20th: Julie organizes a trip to the Farmington Historic Home.

December 1st: Party at Sheelah's house.

Learning opportunities at our local quilt shops pop up from time to time and sometimes we take a class together. Also, we have pot luck lunches at our member's homes. So, by no means is this the final say in our fun times together. There's never too much laughter or too many opportunities to expand our ability to learn something new, about quilting or life.
