2018




    2018 is off with a bang!
With the several meetings behind us, 
we already have a great start into the quilting year.
   New meeting place: 
Faith Baptist Church
25475 Hwy 17
Waynesville, MO
 

The Friendship Tea Cup Quilt was our first workshop project of the year. 
With May instructing, each participating member will make the required 
number of teacup blocks and these blocks will then be exchanged toward
 the end of the year.  Each block will have the makers name on it. When
 the blocks are exchanged, pieced and quilted the ladies will have a quilt 
with the names of their friends.
Check out the photos
During the January meeting Bonnie gave out the requirements 
for the Challenge Quilt. Those members who want to be involved 
in the challenge will soon be given the requirements.  They will 
have most of the year to design, piece and quilt a wall hanging. 
The quilts will then be hung and judged.


The new Board for 2018
