So many things going on these days - hard to keep the straight!
Gabrielle has started a Saturday morning quilt group. We gathered in February to share completed projects and talk about different finishing techniques.

| JayDee is holding a beach towel to which she's added a fabric "sleeve" at the top. This sleeve goes over the top of your lounge chair to hold the beach towel in place. Love the bright fabrics. |

| Here's a completed basket quilt - was it Kay's? Beautifully completed. |
Also in February was the Guild's annual auction. Just look at the items waiting for eager bidders. We raised over $1,100 at that meeting.
We did have Show and Tell but I couldn't tell you who made these two T-shirt quilts. I like the way solid fabrics are interspersed with the T-shirts to help fill out the quilt.
Another reason I've been busy has been my new job - Executive Director at the
Columbus Indiana Philharmonic. We just held our Phil!Tastic fundraising event. Love the decorations and the colors used in the decorations. We had both a Silent and Live auction to raise money for the orchestra.
Entertainment was The Singing Hoosiers. What a wonderful group of talented, young people. This was the only shot I got of them but they had a few dance routines and at the end of their performance, they came down on the dance floor and got people up and dancing. It was a super fun event.
Finally, back to quilting stuff. Deb, Kathy and I made our annual foray to the
Indiana Heritage Quilt Show in Bloomington, Indiana (
not Bloomington, IL as
Bonnie Hunter posted on her blog). There weren't as many quilts this year - don't know why - but the quilts on display were a wide mixture of techniques and designs.
Birgit Schueller had this eye-catching quilt. Her quilt last year had concentric circles in the piecing that were very restful. This really makes you take a step back, doesn't it?
I loved this quilt with the penguins marching among the rocks - or seals! Look closely and you can see their cute faces among the rocks. I see at least 5 seals - how many can you see?
Of course, there were fabric purchases involved. Now to quilt!!!
Cheers!
Margaret
