Pin cushion swap – 9 people participated in the pincushion swap. Many different varieties of pincushions were available. See FB for pictures.
Challenges – Next challenge due at August 24 meeting. Bonnie did a presentation on turning a photo into a pattern to make a quilting project. This can have a realistic, abstract or impressionist look to it. She discussed the materials and strategies she uses to complete this type of project. Her notes will be posted on the website.

Instead of a mystery quilt this year we are going to be doing a sew along quilt. We will all be working on a string quilt. Each month you will be bring one or more blocks in to show the club at the monthly meeting. There are no rules for what method you follow just that you complete one block each month. Some Themes are scrappy, rainbow, same color family, and selvages. Another way to help your design is to look up #stringquilts on Instagram.
