August Open Sew + Destash Sale!

Our August Open Sew and Destash Sale was loud and a little crazy - the fabric was flying - but definitely fun! We welcomed a few new members and guests to the group, and had a massive round of show & tell's from everyone.



Our Round Robin Groups are in their fifth round of the challenge and looking great! Marcia, Emily and Katie D. brought their latest rounds to swap.We're in the home stretch!

Emily & Vicki showed off finished quilts from our May class with Latifah Saafir. Loving how different the color schemes are, but the clams are still super glam!

 Leslie showed off this gorgeous limited palette quilt that she brought to finish binding. Her spiral quilting was amazing!!

The Brentwood library provided a great room for our meeting. Thanks goes to Kim for arranging it for us.

August 2016 Meeting
Open Sew

What a turn out for our August Open Sew!

September is the AQS Quilt Show in Chattanooga.  We will not be having our normal meeting.  Carpool options are available.  See the Facebook post to see who is attending.  Ashely is also coordinating a meeting time for lunch or dinner with the Chattanooga MQG.

October is Open Sew and 2017 planning.  Wow, time sure does go by fast.  November is our charity sew.  We will need to make a decision on what we would like to make for our charity sew as well as evaluate fabric needs.   December is our Holiday Party and Stefanie Williams has already started organizing our Secret Santa Swap on Facebook.

Below are pictures from Show and Tell!  Big meeting attendance means lots of show and tell.  Enjoy!
