Sew-In at the Senior Center Every Tuesday from 9am-11am

The BCQ's meet every Tuesday for a sit and sew at the Senior Center off 5th Street in Ramona.  They work on their own projects or a philanthropic project. No matter what they do, they have fun doing it. All are welcome.

April 17th Meeting

It was nice to see a few BCQ's that we haven't seen in awhile and always nice to see the regular attenders.  We filled the C9P from 6:30-7:45.   Jan Moore won the bucket of fat quarters, Martha did a great fat quarter pattern demo that makes into 2 sizes of a really nice quilt and gave all 25 attenders a free pattern, quite a few members signed up for the UFO Challenge (I sent the form out to all members so you can turn in next month), and sharing closed the meeting.

Next month we won't have a demo-we will be playing Quilt-O instead so bring a fat quarter for every card you want and markers (m and m's, buttons or?) for the cards.  I have wanted to play for a couple of years and this will be my first opportunity.  Bring something from your studio or stash that you don't want anymore and we will call it a door prize.

Debbie Branch and her mom, Martha Henry made Rosettes for the UFO Challenge-we get a button for every project we finish in the year-I am going for all five so I have a chance to win a nice prize at the end in addition to getting 5 projects done-nice, Debbie!

Homemade CC cookies and Strawberry trifle for dessert

Candy shared about the Museum Show (she also took the UFO challenge)

Martha told us about the classes coming to the 9 Patch

Martha's Demo and quilt example

Same quilt in another color way

Debbie Heaton's turquoise and red

Susan Porter's Bakelite button bracelet

Carolyn's embroidered piece (it matches the background and her blouse)

Candy made a miniature of the hundreds of Sun Bonnet Sue's she made and donated (don't talk to her about SBS's)

Sorry Candy-this was a beautiful piece of her embroidery-lousy photographer

Brenda made a lovely panel quilt-she is well on the road to recovery

Eanne made several items from material donated to the senior center-they will be donated to charity

Janet Haas makes a quilt for the Symphony every year, buys tickets for it and put her quilter friends names on the tickets-Eanne won-isn't it beautiful

Janet also finished some placemats on her last trip to AZ

A very pretty quilt, Carrie-a terrible photographer

Judy B. and Prayers & Squares from IHM made this for Tea With Thee that supports the pregnancy center.  It will be raffled off at the tea on May 4th

Debbie Branch having too much fun ready to draw the winning ticket for the fat quarters.

A lot of fun stuffed into an hour and 45 minutes-come join us next month!

UFO sheet if you haven't already done so (+10.00)
