Parma Quilters Anonymous: June Meeting

June meeting was great. We started a few new activities. We started a Borrowing Library. Everybody that has a quilting related book or magazine can add it to the tote. Then if you want to borrow a book or magazine you "check it out" and bring it back next month. The other thing we started was BOTO, Bring One Take One. Each time it will be different. Those of us doing the Count Your Blessings quilt are having a fun time with Rula's clues. Nikki has decided that she is going to be leaving the group for a while. So we have decided that we are going to make blocks for her like we did for Donetta. Rula has announced a sew/craft day that she is hosting at the our church. The day and time is set and everybody has been invited. Bring your stuff and work as long as you want and leave when you want. Sounds like fun. Gaylene is hosting a "Flip Flop Quilt" drawing. She provided a pattern for the flip flops and another little shape. The idea is that if you want to donate a set of flip flops your name will go into the drawing for that finished quilt. If she has enough for two quilts she will make a second one. It has been announced in our church that we as a ward will be making a donating 68 quilts for Hope House. I place for children to go that need a good home. Go check out the website. Of course we as a quilt group will also be working on donating a few quilts also. We have decided on one boy quilt in red, blue, and cream. Also a girl quilt in black, white, and one bright color square. All blocks will be 9 patches. Quick and simple.

Rula showed us her Halloween Jar quilt. It is so fun. She loves Halloween so what better then to place all that goodness into jars!
