Quilt club members shared some good solid fun at the August meeting with our second snip and rip activity. This year, instead of batiks, we used solids. Every person came with one yard of one color; after snipping, ripping, dropping and passing, we left with 7 different colors! Now comes the challenge — make a wearable (very loosely defined) to display at our November meeting. Learn more…
Just before Christmas, representatives from our quilt club sent up cheers along with Wellspring staff and STARS at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Unity on Park. This hotel renovation project has become beautiful new independent living apartments for adults with I/DD. Thanks to the collaborative work of CRQC’s members, the residents will receive quilts made from our Bingo activity last April as they moving in to their first apartments! Already several Wellspring STARS have chosen their favorites; more to come. See more photos and learn more about Wellspring and our Wellspring Quilt Project…
Have yourself a wonky little Christmas; may your blocks be bright! We celebrated Christmas in July with the introduction of improv Christmas tree block lotto. How many of these very addictive little creations can you make before October? Each one earns you an entry to Block Lotto! If your name is drawn, you get a pile of improv blocks for a modern holiday quilt; a winner for every 20 blocks collected. Learn more…
Earlier this year, the programs committee asked members for photos of their quilts “in the wild.” So whether on vacation or staycation, you photographed your beauties outdoors. The results — viewed in the August meeting slide show while Nat King Cole sang about “Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer” — were simply inspiring. Thank you to ALL who participated! For even more inspiration, type #quiltsinthewild into Instagram and enjoy wonderful quilts from every corner of the country. View the slide show…
