Membership fees of $10.00 are due.
Block of the Month - This was presented by Nancy Furniss and is the last one of the twelve block series. Nancy chose the Cups and Saucers block and showed two blocks to demonstrate the difference when there is more contrast of fabrics used. For her block she went to quilterscache.com for her pattern and mentioned that the website has thousands of block patterns in different sizes.
Lori Jarmin went to a quilt seminar in Logan, Utah featuring "Me and My Sister" fabric designers Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson. She showed several packets of fabric that they have designed for Moda Fabrics.
Those shown are "Weeds" and "Dot . Dot . Dash-!

"Good Morning" fabric line
Lori introduced the sister duo of Dawn Ramirez and Terry Anderson and Dawn's son Adam. They are from Shelley and Basalt, Idaho. Dawn is famous for being the Pajama Quilter with online videos about machine quilting. www.pajamaquilter.com
Both are known for the great quilts that they enter almost every year at the Eastern Idaho State Fair.
They quilt because of their families; their grandmothers, aunts, great aunts,
and especially their grandma Mabel. They have quilts all over their houses
and don't worry about them fading
because they are changing them all the time!

We want to thank Terry, Dawn and Adam for the great trunk show!!!!
When asked what applique method they prefer, Terry replied with the "Kim Diehl method". She made a quilt for Kim a few years ago (you can find this quilt in Kim's Simple Blessings book; pattern is "Romance and Roses" lap quilt) and got quite familiar with her method. Dawn uses a totally different technique using freezer paper on the top and glue underneath,
but both agree
"whatever works best for you".

B & R Crafts, Blackfoot as a thank you for their trunk show.
