July's meeting was hot

Our July program was provided by Shannon Brinkley who introduced us to Scrappy Bits Applique and her great technique for turning scraps into something awesome.  The meeting was changed to Friday and then a workshop was held on Saturday.  Workshop pictures are below.  There was no special project for July as in June we announced a Mini Quilt Swap due in August.  Don't forget to check out the Eye Candy page for the great show and tell from the meeting.

How do I quilt that?

Our June program was a presentation from Sharon Young on how to decide what kind of quilting to put on a quilt.  She gave us a list of questions to ask and think about before quilting anything. 
Understanding how the quilt will be used, who it is for (male, female, child, senior), and what their preferences are will make a big difference in how a quilt is quilted.  Folks brought in their half square triangle special project.  Look at what they created using an odd number of HSTs.  Don't forget to check out the eye candy page for show and tell pictures.
