Fall Harvest

Who doesn't love the arrival of fall? Mother Nature wows and inspires us with her colors while the cold weather encourages us to stay inside, snuggle around our sewing machines, and finish those UFOs. We surround ourselves with the bounty of the harvest and perhaps indulge in an apple cider or other autumnal treat.

What's not to love?

Every season brings its inspiration and delight, as does every monthly meeting of the SCMQG.  We revel in the cornucopia of ideas, inspiration, and color that our creative endeavors bring. So, grab a mug, sit back and enjoy a visual treat of our October harvest. 

Gail introduces our next block-of-the-month. It involves playing colors against colors and manipulating blocks to gain different results. Thinking outside of the box and our creative boundaries is the name of this game. Gail models different manipulations of a nine block.  Give it a try by looking here. 

Gail presents her Chickens in Tutus to our group. 

Michelle shares a quilt from Victoria Findlay Wolfe's Quilt Alliance Workshop.

Some lucky boy will get to snuggle this quilt.

Spider web quilt...how much is that doggie in the window?

This is where all good things come to an end...for now anyway. Looking forward to seeing everyone and their creations on November 12th! We will be voting on a new board, and sewing up baby blankets for those who have time after the meeting at Christie's Quilting Boutique.
