I have a quilt group called "SoupHer Quilters", we meet the last Monday of the month in my home.
I started this group in February 2006, this month we will be celebrating our 3rd birthday/anniversary. The very first meeting there were 3 of us, the group has grown , and now there are about 16 in total who attend. The name came to me one morning in the shower, I get some great ideas there LOL. keep in clean LOL. I have a pot of homemade soup ready when they arrive, we meet from 6 till 9:00 and we share our love of quilting with show and tell and we also have many who bring some hand stitching to work on while we chat. We do love to share ideas and we talk( what most of us women do best) about what life has challenged us with. The wallhanging in the pic is comprised of a block with bowl with a spoon appliqued , each block was made by one of the quilters in our group, to identify who made which block ,they put their name on the handle of the spoon. I saw this idea in a quilt magazine, shortly after starting the quilt group , and thought the idea appropriate . So I am not taking credit for the idea. but it is special and hangs in my sewing studio .
This month we will be having a special guest ,its a surprise so I cant share her name yet.. she will be advicing us on the best use of scraps . I will post again with pics soon.. Have a wonderful day.
