June Meeting Recap

We shared quilts!  Surprise!

 Nicci's mermaid quilt!


Corey's Royal Purple Quilt

 Pam's Pinwheel Sampler.
She used P.S I Quilt's quilt-a-long for this quilt (You can find it here.), and then of course jazzed it up with her beautiful appliqued borders.


Then we talked binding.  Corey is showing us her glue technique.


Nancy talked about bias binding!

There was lots of great tips shared!  I personally am excited to bind another quilt just to be able to try all these new things I have learned! ;0)


We also had our first swap!  We swapped mug rugs!  This was so much fun!  They were all so unique, and it was really funny how so many people ended up with the mug rug that was just perfect for them.
