April meeting

Hi all! Sorry this blog post is late: I had some technical issues. But my plan is to do blog posts after every meeting, and hopefully more in between. If I missed any photos, please send them to me (RichmondMQG (at) gmail.com) and I'll post them here!

Our April meeting was a celebration of our second anniversary! We had a crowd...
 
And we had cake...
 

 
And a plethora of gifts! Thanks to Pam for calling rousing Quilt-O games!
 

And show and tell! Oh yes, we had show and tell! Note: These are in no particular order, except that they're more or less in the order that they uploaded. :-)

Mary showed the quilt she made which started from the rubbings she did in Ann's Paintstik demo...

Cheryl wore a dress she made from rayon batik...

Mary Jane showed more of her beautiful collage work. She'll be doing a program for us soon!



Theresa showed her wonderful giraffe quilt....


And some of her bags...


 Alma's awesome sampler is in very modern colors...

 
Becky told everyone about the fun silk-screen class that some members took at Artistic Artifacts...


Betty's quilt.... I love the lettering!


Catherine had some great tells about upcoming publications! We're so excited for her!


 Margaret has been busy....


And so has Sue!


Melissa participated in some exchanges with worldwide participants...


And Trish had some unique Sunbonnet Sue blocks.... She'll be doing a program for us in the fall based on her collaged trees!

 
 
We have such talent in this group! Our next meeting is coming up May 17th. If you haven't been to our meetings, please feel free to stop by!
