January Meeting and Quilt Show

New Year and New Activities for our Guild! Our January meeting Guest Speaker is Edyta Star  - it will be a fun night! Her presentation will be 1 1/2 hours so we will not be doing Show and Tell this month. Save up your masterpieces to show during our February Meeting!


The clock is ticking and in no time our Quilt Show will be here! Check for details under the Banner above. Our co-chairs Darlene and Elaine will share an update at our meeting. Entry forms will be available soon so start thinking about what you want to "show at the Show" :)...

Look forward to seeing all of January 10th at 6:30!

Jewels and Fun Old Hag

Happy New Year - and New Mystery Clues

Wishing you a happy 2012 filled with many hours of contentment at your sewing machine!  And lots of new fabric, too.

Now, here are two new clues for those of you making mystery quilts.



December Meeting and Mystery Clue

Christmas is fast approaching  and tomorrow night is Q2's December dinner and meeting.  Check the newsletter for details.  It is also time for another clue to the mystery quilt that some of you are making.

You will need to click to enlarge the print since I notice when checking the actual blog post there is a bit of the top step not shown.   

Enjoy!

For you girls who took the class in fabric bowls - and other girls, also--here is a video on how to make fabric lollipops.  Cute, aren't they?

November Retreat in Gladwin

A group of Q2 quilters recently attended a four day retreat at The Springs in Gladwin.   Here are four of the gals - Leslie, Deb, Kathy and Earlene - working diligently away (looks like Kathy is talking, though) at some of the many projects that were worked on by the attendees.  Have heard nothing but positive and enthusiastic comments on the outing.  Also, some of the girls were brave enough to ride the zip line -- I think this one is Nancy--

Brave girls!  I also know that Janna, Stephanie and Deb took the ride.  If you did and I missed you - leave a comment so others know of your daring!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful tops.  Leave a comment and  lay claim to these.

I would guess Linda is the quilter working on these.

Leslie is thinking hard about what goes next on her spool top.

Kathy has quit talking and is working on her pretty project.

This may be Stephanie's.  If not, please set the funoldhag straight with a comment.

I was right - there is Linda.  In the front is Janet.  However, I'm not quite sure who is in the background.  Please comment so we know for sure.

Janna sits at her machine working diligently.  I think I know but  am not quite sure of the two girls standing together - don't want to just guess so please let me know. Linda is at the back.

Becky at the back of the photo is engrossed in her task and Jana is seriously sewing.

This beauty is by Stephanie. 

Final piece - let me know who did this one. 

I would ask if any of you that were at the retreat have more pictures you would like to show, put them in an e-mail or a link to them and send along to me and I will put them on the blog.  Looks like you all had a fabulous time and got lots done. Would have loved to been with you!  

At Long Last!! The Mystery Quilt

Here are the long awaited instructions and first and second clues for the Q2 Mystery Quilt.  You have to click each one to see it in full and a larger size.

You can also right click on each one after enlarging and select print and it will print out a copy for you I think.    The third step for the quilt is in the post directly before this one.  Remainder of the steps will be posted around the first of each month.  If  I forget, someone remind me~~
