Okay, this is really a Yikes! My calendar tells me that it is time to send a reminder email to the ASG Quilters, and I haven't even updated our blog from last month's meeting. Fortunately, I have have some photos to share, which will jog my memory about what happened. I know that actually taking notes while events are occuring is a better way to remember things, but if I were any good at taking notes I would be the Chapter Secretary, right?
The first picture is of Margaret Grider's quilt, which is a very colorful Wonky Nine-Patch--that is a technical quilter's term for "I don't do squares". The colors are exciting, and the irregular patches just make the whole quilt look like fun.

The next picture is Margaret's No-Sew Sewing Apron--made from jeans! Margaret also turned some old jeans into a couple of handy little purses. Where some people see denim headed for the rag-bin, Margaret sees creative opportunities.

Note how the pockets from the jeans are now helpfully storing sewing tools. You may think this picture is upside down because I don't know how to flip photos, but this is the orientation a apron has when it is in your lap, so I think it works well.
By now you are thinking that last month's meeting was the Margaret Grider show, but I have memories of :
cutting out Christmas fabrics, Phyllis working on a wall hanging, Earline sewing a quilt for her grandson, and Barbara Coonce doing some exquisite paper piecing as she worked on a gift for her friend. Actually, I may remember that last bit from the previous month, but it really is exquisite.
What we can take away from all this is: never get rid of jeans, it's never  too early to start sewing for Christmas, babies are the best reason for making quilts, and it's nice to sing while sewing.
