August President’s Letter

Posted on by Diane

Hello Quilters,

It was good seeing many of you at Holland Park last month. I know it’s not possible for everyone to come to a meeting and I’m sorry for that because, I know for me it’s like a tonic when I visit with all of you. These times aren’t easy and I’m glad I have you ladies in my life.

This month we are going to meet in a Fishers Parks Building at Billericary Park 12690 Promise Rd, Fishers. The building can hold over 100, but we are going to limit attendance to 40 people so that read more

Hello Quilters

Posted on by Diane

Summer is here! I just came up to my sewing room because I was looking for a cool, shady place to be on this hot afternoon. Isn’t it great that we have a hobby that allows us to cocoon in the winter and hide from the heat in the summer?

Besides hiding from the heat, I was nudged by Chris Behme’s reminder that we have a challenge project that will be revealed in July and that read more

2020 Quilt Challenge

Posted on by Diane

Just Initial It!

This year’s Challenge involves your name, or at least, the initials of your name. 

  1. Take your first name initial and match it to a quilt block with the same first letter. 
  2. Take your middle name initial and find a color that has the same initial.
  3. Take your last initial and pair it with a complimentary/contrast color of the same initial. 

So, how do I proceed with my Challenge? 

Take your first name initial and find a block pattern with same initial. It could be a two word name, as long as one of the words is the same initial. For me, Chris, I could use Log Cabin, Crossing Ohio, or Corn and Beans.

Take the initial of your middle name and find a color with the same initial. For me, Jo might yield Jungle Green https://www.colorhexa.com/29ab87

Then take your last name initial and find read more
