What are they doing? That was the most common question at our August ’16 meeting. Kathleen & her daughter were making rolls of ‘paper’ towels – pieces of cloth sewn together and rolled together with velcro. Big difference – when your done with yor towel – it goes into the laundry. 
It just seems to get hotter and hotter in San Antonio. Not to be out done by the weather – the Alamo Heritage Quilt Guild once again put on a very top notch – and dare we say HOT meeting. The show & Tell was super this month (we have to stay inside – so might as well quilt). And Marcia Henry’s program and trunk show were terrific. Is everyone now ready to use this great new curve tool? Our Newletter queen had a surprise! And speaking of Newsletters – the July Newsletter is posted as well.
Thanks to Joanne Krebbs for capturing photos for the June Meeting. If you’re interested in the Show & Tell – go here. Then there’s the wonderful trunk show put on by Doris Rice – go here. And if you’re looking for June’s Newsletters – go here.
Pictures of the fun all had at the 2016 quild retreat and quilts made.
The meeting this month was memorable. First of all, the desserts were FABULOUS! I should know – I brought one of them. Man do May birthdays know how to celebrate! But I digress. The Show and Tell was its’ usual success – so make sure you stop in there and get a peek (click here to get on over there). Also – fellow member, Cathy Kropp presented a really engaging program centered on paper piecing. Go HERE to see pics from here presentaton Isn’t it wonderful to be in an organization with so much talent, and such varied interests! Thanks, Cathy. also – some photos of the Tres Amigas latest efforts can be found HERE
So sorry for not being more timely in the postings this month. No valid excuses – except maybe age, but I have finally finished this month’s postings and hope you enjoy. If any of your guild friends have not signed up for updates – encourage them to do so. right now, about 15 of the members have – and it’s such a great way to know when any photos or new postings have been made. For April, we have the newsletter, our ususal & great Show & Tell and the photos from this month’s program – Stuffing Pillows for Chairty! Take a look.
Well, February has been quite a month. At our meeting, we had an extraordinary Show & Tell event – with the line up stretching through much of the room. Go here to enjoy the display.
As for our program, our own member – Joan Wallace, gave us plenty of ideas and wowed us with her art work and designs. I, for one, have already started doing some vector searches for ideas. Thanks Joan. Go here to relive Joan’s presentation.
Thanks to Susan Hall for this heads up. We had a visitor – Doris Rice at our January meeting. Doris maintains a blog, and posted a wonderful recap of Margie’s January presentation on doing round-robins. Here’s the link to that posting
The home page to her blog – the quilting queen online – can be found here if interested.
I was unable to attend either of these months – so much thanks and appreciation goes out to Joanne Krepps for taking the time to capture these Guild moments. the photos from the Christmas meeting are here. Our January presentation was made by Margie Lawrence, who spoke to us about round robins – and some of her great work in round robins can be seen here. Our January meeting pictures are here.
and finally – Joanne had some photos concerning Charity she wanted to share.
