August 2017 - Lori Allison

Our speaker at the August 8, 2017, meeting was Lori Allison, All About Color Quilting, which features all things from the Kaffe Fassett collection:  fabrics, patterns, kits.  Her presentation was called "Simple Piecing, Spectacular Quilts" and the quilts certainly reflected that!  Here are photos from her trunk show and talk.

Boutique Make -N- Take

 

Thank you to everyone who joined our Make 2 -N- Take 1 on August 8, 2017.  Sharon Banister provided a workshop on how to make zipper pouches.  We made two pouches, donated one to the Quilt Show Boutique and took the other one home.  We also worked on other items to sell, such as pillowcases and needle holders.  It was a fun day and we hope to hold another one soon.
