Quilters






Hello From The Quilting Bee

Fall has finally arrived in the south and we are so pleased to have this cooler weather after a summer of sizzling temperatures and very little rain.

The Quilters Garden had a fun time this past month with Orca leading the group in a fun game of Scavenger Hunting. We then all made our quilts and presented them to the group. What a challenge this was finding 21 different items to make into squares. We have another game in progress now and it will also be a fun one. Orca manages to keep the ladies quite busy and we are so fortunate to have our Head Assistant so talented with Activities.

We do a Monthly Anniversary and Birthday quilt for the Celebration Garden. Those quilts can be seen here. http://www.wosib.org/quilts/completed.html. In 2007 we will be replacing our holiday quilts. So keep an eye out for those. We also have a chat list were we share ideas, opinions, quilt squares, gifts but most of all we share our friendship.

We had three new members join the Quilters Garden this month. Below are their names and quilt links:

Linda - http://www.creativedezinez.com and
Jules - http://www.witcherydesignz.com
Ladybug Lady - http://www.freespaces.com/vwinsect
