The news this month is that Quilt Fest is coming up on October 5-9, 2010 in Murray. There is a beautiful opportunity quilt that you can buy tickets for. Contact Ann for the tickets. Mini quilts are still needed as well. Contact Ann for more information.

The Road to Oklahoma quilt swap is starting. We will swap for 3 months total and if you participate all three months you will almost have enough fabric for a queen size quilt. I can't get the scanned handout to post to this blog, so here is the information:
Please use good quality, prewashed fabrics only.
Mediums and Darks
No obvious juvenile, holiday. No solids.
Country colors and tones, no jump off the quilt prints or colors.
Swapping July, August, and September.
Have baggies to Mom's the Monday before guild, (July 6, 2010, because of the holiday)

Cut strips 3 1/2 " by at least 20"(Just use 1/2 the width of fabric or the width of the fat quarter)
For one set, use 6 different fabrics. Cut 5 strips from each fabric. Make 5 stacks of strips placing one of each different fabric in the stacks. Put each stack in a separate baggie with your name on it. Keep one for yourself and put the other 4 in a larger baggie with your name on it as well.
Next month Cindy will be demonstrating how it's put together.

Thanks for all those who commented on the blog. Shanda won the prize, (it's about time I got lucky!) We will be having another discussion for next month, so just leave a comment and you will be entered for a prize!

Maxine taught us a new technique. She passed out a few samples of this block and we are supposed to bring them done next month and then we can make a Charity quilt. It was very interesting and looks really hard, I hope it's not.
Start by laying the block out.



Then either sew the corners of the middle pieces. Match up the notches and be sure to take a 1/4" seam so the centers are touching.
Let's hope we all can remember how and show our finished blocks next month.
Thanks, Maxine for teaching us a new trick!

Have a happy sewing summer and don't forget to comment of the discussion!
