Blackfoot Piecemakers Quilt club met

on July 25, 2019
at the Lutheran Church in Blackfoot

for our annual summer picnic and meeting

Kathryn Evans conducted the meeting

We began the meeting with our luncheon.

The meeting began with a fun club challenge:

This spring Kathryn handed out a piece of

cute "Ant Picnic" fabric.

The first person who got it tore it in half (kept one half) and passed the rest of the fabric down the row. At a designated time the person who received the second half of fabric tore it in half

(keeping one half) and passing the
other along. Where it was torn in half multiple times. This continued until the halves

were about 4" x 6".

Then Kathryn informed the members that those who received fabric were to make an item to show at our July picnic.

Here are the items made:

Help me fill in the blanks -

Gloria Udy, ____________, Nancy Furniss, Lori Jarmin, Joyce Lewis,

Mary McCullough (not pictured), and ____________

Are we up for another challenge????

Here goes:

On each place setting at the table was a fat quarter. Kathryn read a story. Every time she said the word "Picnic" we passed our fabric to the right. When the story was over, Kathryn challenged use the fat quarter and add up to 3 colors, then make something fun and nice. We will re-home it to a member at our Christmas party.

(I'm going to add more than 3 colors...but it's going to be adorable! Sorry, Kathryn)

(BTW this is Lori....lol)

Oh yea, back to the meeting....

(I got a bit side tracked...)

Kathryn had put a number on each fat quarter and we received a prize that had the

coresponding number on it!

Too much fun!!!

Here we are collecting our prize!
