The November meeting of CAMQG was held on November 20, 2018 in the community rooms of the Camp Hill Giant. You can find the meeting minutes here.
Donna shared our last BOM pattern, the improv block.
Donna also gave each member a Midcoast Cottage Design, Stepping Stones Table Runner Pattern and shared some tips on constructing the piece.
Our spotlight quilter this month was Cordell Affeldt. She began sewing in Wild Rose, Wisconsin when she was a little girl and her parents bought a new mattress. She used the cotton sheets from the old mattress to beginning her sewing journey. She shared several totes she created with dyes and printing. She recycles a variety of items around her house to help her create these beautiful works of art.
She also made a hat and vest using fabric from her stash.
She tells us she learned most of her various skills from workshops she has attended. Most of the items she creates these days are for charity at the Unitarian Church in Harrisburg.
Following the Member Spotlight, Debbie and Donna shared their experience at the Houston Quilt Festival with some great slides of quilts and exhibits.
They also shared the following information with us:
A quilt exhibit at the Susquehanna Art Museum, which runs through January 20, 2019.
Our Holiday Party will be at the Issac's in Lemoyne at 6:00 on December 18, 2018. See the meeting minutes for more details.
We have 2 Sew Days scheduled in 2019...May 4, 2019 and September 14, 2019.
