October 2012 PMQG Meeting

This months meeting was a busy one! We had lots of business and announcements and the spotlight was on Denise which I will share later.

Our challenge was to make a nametag for ourselves.

Cathy had a sentimental nametag made of bits from items she had from her family.

Pat made a paper pieced star.

Bobbi had fussy cut pieces making up the circles in her name.

Jill made a "Bobbi 9 patch".

Tricia's is a tiny turtle.

Denise did patchwork.

Cathy made tiny hexagons.

Mine is a paper pieced sewing machine.

Show and Tell and Brainstorming quilts were shared:

 Anna Z. was looking for quilting ideas for her Swoon quilt that needs to be quilted quickly before auction.

 Danette showed her ModPod  quilt top.

Denise brought in a Chopsticks made by her friend.

Andrew also brought in a Chopsticks quilt (which I thought I got a better photo of!).

Next month we will have our discussion of specialty rulers. Please bring your ruler and any quilts you might have made with it. We will also be starting our Holiday Swap. Start thinking about what you would like to receive. Sign ups will be at the meeting and online.
