Show and Share:
Two members attended the Pine Bluff quilt club that meets at the Nature Center. The two showed the Grand Prairie club the different blocks that can be made using the Disappearing Four-Patch pattern. It was very interesting to see the many different formations that can be made by moving the pieces around. This group meets the First Friday of the month at the Nature Center at 10 a.m. The local quilters said they enjoyed learning something new.
A member also showed her baby rag quilts that were all finished except for the clipping which she worked on at project time.
A member showed her in progress Minnie and Mickey baby quilt.
Everyone then had lunch and some visiting time. After lunch, they all got down to work on projects.
A member made burp pads for Hope of the Delta. A member sewed small pillows for Arkansas Children's Hospital. Another needlepointed. One clipped her baby quilt. Another brought a bag of fabric treasures and everyone found time to look through it and find that special one that was just right for a project.
The next meeting will be June 14 at First Christian Church at Stuttgart.
