Thank you to everyone that came to our May meeting. Super excited that we had 6 members do the "Improv Challenge" this round.  It was really fun to see what everyone was working on as well.

The group participated in a make n take using some of the techniques we had demonstrated earlier in the year.  Glue baste hexagons, hand quilting using pearl cotton and long stitch and back to front quilt binding. Sheila Green brought her GoBaby and demonstrated how to cut hexi pieces with fabric to fit. Allison from Cluck Cluck Sew gave permission to use her tutorial on the binding which you can see HERE

We want to thank Sheila for passing this idea onto us from her friend at the Chattanooga Modern Quilt Guild.
