July 2008 Meeting Highlights

Program

Kathy Evans demonstrated an Applique technique out of the most recent Fons and Porter magazine.

The August program will be presented by Ronnie Bringle of McCune, KS. Ronnie will present a program on three dimensional needle felting. She does amazing work!! You can view a slideshow of some of her felting projects here.

Block of the Month Project

Nita Billman was the winner of July's BOM project and received a fat quarter. To be eligible for the drawing, guild members were required to make three, 8" blocks and bring them to the guild meeting.

The next step in the BOM project is to make the 9 patch blockes and the strips around the center squares. Members may bring this next finished step to the August meeting and have their names placed in the drawing.
