4th of July Quilt
Click Images to Enlarge:
I spent Saturday with the members of the Mary's River Quilt Guild. We participated in a paper piecing class to create the 4th of July quilt pictured above. This quilt will be our 2010 raffle quilt.
After a thorough paper piecing lesson, lead by instructor Jan Bressler, the volunteer quilters were paper piecing units like the ones above. The gorgeous batik fabrics worked well with this design.Earlier in May a group of volunteers gathered to cut all of the fabrics needed for this quilt.
Volunteer quilters began arriving at 9:30 am ready for a full day of paper piecing.

When I arrived home Saturday evening, I pulled down the driveway.....Dancer & Freckles were there to greet me with a view of Mary's Peak in the background.
This is Jan Tallis, who completed the very first paper pieced unit of the day!
Jan is responsible for producing the MRQG Newsletter.

Linda, Marcia & Kelly kept things lively in the back of the room
Paper Piecing is all about sewing on the lines

By the end of the day there were piles of completed units all over the classroom.
This is a HUGE help to our raffle quilt committee.
Please see Debbie van der Sommen to check out a packet of blocks to paper piece.
