June 2015 meeting

We met at Joan's house this month and had a great time.  Here's a link to the potato chip cookies she served that everyone loved--http://ericasrecipes.com/2013/04/potato-chip-cookies/.

Next meeting at Mary's house (come prepared to pick out some paintings to take home).

I took pictures on my phone and not all turned out great.  Here are the acceptable ones.

A Grandmother's flower garden quilt Joan had that she brought out to show Betsy how the edges can be finished and the quilting pattern.

Arleen's quilts, this one based on an alteration to a pattern in the Quilter's Newsletter.

Deanna's latest baby quilt

Joan's quilt with a French braid border and dragonflies painted in the center block.  She "quilted the heck" out of the border.

Marty suggested a challenge that we all participate in to have completed for our September meeting.

Create a Harmonic Convergence quilt using directions by Ricky Tims that Marty got at the Silent Auction.  Use your own colors and follow the size given in the directions which have been distributed by email to the Quilt Therapy members.

Here are photos from the May, 2015 meeting at Betsy's house.
