CAMQG October Group Project Updates


 Great progress has been made on this year's group projects! 


The top of the wonky red, white and blue star charity quilt is finished this will be given to a local Veteran through the Quilts of Valor quilt program. Pat reports she has blue fabric for the back. She needs someone to provide the batting and then quilt and bind it.


 The top of the paper pieced modern block quilt completed by the guild is finished. Pat is looking for someone to purchase batting for the quilt and then for someone to quilt and bind it. This will also be donated when completed.


Our third group quilt project will be a "Pick-Up Sticks"quilt which will be raffled off at the December meeting for members who participated in the guild quilts. Pat demonstrated how to construct the modern block and provided a handout for sewing this modern block for our 3rd quilt. Each block should be 12.5 inches. The group agreed to not trimming the blocks to the final size but to trim any long tails. Blocks should be brought to the November and December meetings.


The full October meeting minutes can be found here.  CAMQG meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the community rooms in the Camp Hill Giant.  Please email CapitalAreaMQG@gmail.com for more information.
