FMQG August Meeting

Our August meeting had the best turnout yet!  Welcome to all our new members, and don't forget to "join" on this blog!

Karen has volunteered to create our Facebook page, and it's already up and running!  So, check it out and "like", "comment" and "recommend" us to the social community!  Thanks, Karen!

We will be having a Mug Rug Swap at our next meeting, September 22!  Karen has posted two tutorials on our Facebook page!  I just finished my Mug Rug using one of the tutorials and it was fun and easy!  Bring your finished Mug Rug in a paper bag to our meeting and everyone who made one will leave with one!







Also, Carol will be demonstrating her "Wavy Glue n' Flip" technique!  I hope the title has peeked your interest because it makes for a very cool quilt effect!

Norma has set up a flickr account for us, which we will be adding photos to soon!  Thanks, Norma!

Barbara @ Quilter's Paradise has told me that if any members would like to recommend any quilt books, she would be happy to order them for us!  Quilter's is so happy to have us as part of their quilt community, and we are so grateful to them for providing us the space to grow!  

Until our meeting on September 22 from 2:00 - 5:00 - Happy Quilting!

  3. Hi Gang! Carol called this morning with a few details about her "Wavy Glue n' Flip" technique demo for Saturday. If you want to sew along on a practice piece You'll need your regular sewing kit plus 3 pieces of fabric, all about 6" x 15". One print, for the "wavy" and 2 high contrast, like black/white, blue/yellow to do a checkerboard. A glue stick if you've got one also. Carol has the freezer paper for us.

    See you all Saturday!
