Donation Quilt

We are so excited about our donation quilt for this year. Here is a sneak previous of the quilt that you can buy chances for. This is the first time that we have made one with darker colors. It has the jewel tones with the black background fabric. I love the way that the black makes the colors stand out. The colorful fabrics are batiks. Stay tuned to find out how you can win this beautiful quilt. Right now it has not been quilted. If you like it now, you will love it when it is quilted. That backing fabric is just beautiful.



Today in our meeting we had some very anxious quilters that couldn't wait to show and tell what they made.
Kathy shared a purse that she learned to make in a class she took at Batiks by Design It is called the Diva Essentials Purse. Kathy says this purse was easy to make because they had someone there that had made it before. She said that they spent all day on the purse and still did not finish. All in all it is a very nice purse. It was fun watching Kathy demonstrate the purse. Here is a video of the demo.
