At our March meeting, we debuted the second block for the Block of the Month project, the Churn Dash!
In this photo you can see examples of two of the blocks we’ve debuted, the Rail Fence and the Churn Dash.
In six months, we’ll be posting the directions for making the blocks, so be on the lookout in September!
What a fantastic turnout we had at today’s meeting.
We started out with announcements and then moved on to Show and Tell. And the show and tell? How inspiring are these quilts?
Well done ladies! Fantastic work!
We then moved on to the Block of the Month project, debuting our Churn Dash block.
Due to the fact that our speaker had the flu, several of our members stepped up and provided demonstrations.
There was a tissue packet demo:
And a Japanese Rice Bag demonstration.
You can find the handout for the rice bag demo here.
Our next meeting is April 11th. It will be our AGM and we’ll have Sandra Jansen speaking about Improvisational Piecing. Start working on your show and tell now!
Wasn’t that a great meeting we had today?
Our block of the month project was debuted, stay tuned to the blog for another post about it.
