Quilting can be a sanctuary for some....

and for the Grand Rapids Modern Quilters we took our meeting to the sanctuary at Kuyper College....no other doors were unlocked.  It was a great meeting as always when wonderful recommendations and ideas pour forth.

 President Ginger refreshes us on what the purpose of this group vis a vis the bylaws.
Interested members listening to Ginger.  Nice to see Michele L., our founder and Stitched Studio owner.


Adrienne gave us a very informative explanation of fabric that "appears" or "reads" solid versus those fabrics that do not.


These blocks were our homework if we wished to participate in the drawing to win them.  All of our blocks that we've made since we started the modern block give away should read solid.  While most of all the blocks have been good looking, not all have "read" solid.

 These two pictures show us Kathy's stack and whack squares.  Bright colors are so cheerful.







Ron showed us her strip baby quilt - those 30's fabrics fit in with any style of quilting! Roni also applied lesson learned at an earlier meeting on faux edging all included in the binding.  

More pictures to come....

While making gak has nothing to do with quilting, it's just fun especially as this summer winds down and school is getting closer......glitter gak recipe
