Hexie Club - 4/10/15

The April meeting has been moved to Friday, 4/10/15 due to the Easter weekend holidays.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Birthday club -  Since I was late posting the March meeting info - don't forget Erica (purple), our newest member, whose birthday in January. April birthdays include Cheryl (6 of the same civil war fabric) and Bonnie (scrappy).

Our next round of Birthday Club will start in June...any suggestions on sizes/shapes?

Fussy Cutting Challenge - Quite a few members had finished their projects or shared their in-progress projects. Looking forward to seeing more finished projects at the April meeting.

LeftRight Game -  Bring a pastel fat quarter to exchange in our monthly game.

Logo Project - Rosettes for the group project are due at the April meeting. Hopefully everyone will have them finished so we can decide on a layout and figure out what we need for setting diamonds. If you have the 2nd rosette made into something already we would love to see it!

Out & About - dates are still to be finalized:
     September - hexie quilt show upstairs at the Arts Council for their 40th anniversary
     Winter 2015/16 - quilt show at the Warsaw YMCA

Snacks - Bring something yummy!

Hexie Club - 12/5/14

Birthday club -  --- Barb would like "earth tone" diamonds.

LeftRight Game - No fat quarters needed this month - instead we'll be using our fussing cutting challenge rosettes. Is yours done yet? 

Logo - I'm trying to get directions together for making our logos. You guys were a lot more enthusiastic than I was expecting :-) If you have already picked your color and or fabrics then bring them with you. You'll need 4 FQs that are from the same color family and shaded light to dark. We will need to pick black and white fabrics to purchase so thatw e all use the same ones.

Out & About - Jackie at the ACWC is thrilled we will be doing the 2 quilt shows (hexie club projects in September and any quilt next winter at the YMCA). She'll be getting back to me with dates...

Projects - This month's project is Bonnie's Snowman Mugrug. I'll add the supply list as soon as I confirm it with Bonnie. I emailed the wrong Bonnie and waited and waited for an answer. Sorry!!

Supplies:

• using 1" hexies: white surrounded by any christmas fabric.
• tiny black buttons for eyes (or Agnes is bringing black snaps to share)
• a tiny bit of orange backed by Steam A Seam (I'll have some to share if anyone needs)
• a pencil for marking the mouth
• black embroidery floss for the mouth and black thread for attaching eyes

Retreat - a suggestion was made to have an EPP retreat at Camp Asbury. We would probably expand that thought to include any kind of handwork. Anyone interested?

Snacks - What's your fav Christmas snack? I can't wait to find out!

Hexie Club - July Update!

Hopefully everyone remembers that there is no meeting tomorrow - enjoy your Fourth of July picnics and fireworks!!!

Bonnie, Grace, Cheryl, Ann, Carol and I had a grand time in the ACWC booth for opening day of the Farmers' Market, which also turned out to be Quilt in Public Day! Someone said we should do it more often and I agree. We are definitely on for Friday at Pike Fair (8/15/14) but speak up if you have other places we can quilt in public!

Have you started your fussy cutting project yet? I started a tab at the top of the blog to log the project. If you have any photos of your progress, send them my way and I'll add them to the blog.

Are you working on your birthday diamonds? I've got mine cut to take camping!!
For our August meeting you'll need "surprise" for Robyn, blue for Lisa and "scrappy" for Agnes.
I've updated the birthday tab if you want to do all of your diamonds now. Let me know if your color needs to be changed.
