Guild Meeting in September

This month at our Quilt Guild we each brought in a baby quilt and donated it to the "Agape' House" in Martin Tennessee.  The Agape' House is a place where pregnant mothers can go for help, advice, and guidance during their pregnancies.  Linda DeBoard, one our members, volunteers there on a regular basis.  She shared some of her personal experiences.

Some of the quilts:

Different sizes, designs, etc.  

Even flannel.

Then we had our annual auction.  Where you clean out your room and bring in anything quilt related item.  Then we auction the items off.

As you can see, we has a table full.

From patterns, fabric, 

Stencils,

Even wall hangings!

While the items were being shown, the rest of us sat watching to see what they were going to hold up next to bed on.

We had a great day bidding and purchasing (new to us) items.  The money made went in out Quilt Guilds kitty.  

Last month we all went to "Back Yard Fabrics" and took a lesson on making a Bargello quilt.  

One of our ladies finished her top and brought it in to show us:

As for me, unfortunately I did not get to attend the class.  But they did get a pattern for me.  So as soon as I get a couple of my UFO's completed and go shopping for fabric, I am going to start mine.  Until then..... 

HAPPY QUILTING EVERYONE!!
