GreatFul Threads Art Quilters of Chattanooga

GreatFul Thread Art Quilters,

     One week from today, February 27, is our monthly meeting. We will gather at 4:30 to fuse and cut shapes for the Children's Discovery Museum quilts. We will be making two quilts with the children that will hang in the museum during AQS week. Please remember to bring good quality, bright colored fabrics you are willing to donate for the quilts.  Fat quarter size up to one yard lengths would be good amounts. Use your imagination when choosing fabrics. For example Robot Antennae fabric does not have to be just that but could be fabric that when cut out in the shape of an antennae looks like one. Colors and prints needed are as follows:

Batiks
Planet and moon fabric
Celestial atmosphere fabric
Green for leaves and stems
Fun flower fabric
Tree trunk fabric
Yellow window fabric
Cloud fabric
house fabric (brick, stone, wood)
Roof fabric
Robot fabric
Robot antennae fabric
Sailboat fabric
Dinosaur fabric and/or bones
Solid colors or fabric that read as solid such as bright reds, blues, greens, orange, purple, brown and black

Keep in mind that we will pick and choose through all the fabric brought in and what isn't needed will be sent back to your stash!  We will need fabric for making the two quilts to hang and also fabric for the children to make a block at the museum and take home with them. Bring your fabric scissors for cutting and the larger size combination cutting/pressing mat if you have one. I will bring two irons, fusible, and ziplock bags. Thanks in advance to all who are able to there early. For those who cannot make it at 4:30, if we do not finish we will continue to work during the meeting so bring your fabric scissors just in case. Also, if you cannot be there early but would like to contribute fabric (and please do) drop me an email to arrange a pickup, send it with another member or drop if off at the Bernina Sew N Quilt Studio beforehand letting them know what it is for.

Remember to bring your February technique block for our program. If you were not there during  January and need me to pull techniques from the basket, you still have plenty of time to get that accomplished. Give me a call (706.934.3761) and I will do it over the phone. I will NOT forget to bring the basket of techniques this month, I promise!

Do not forget to bring your Show n Tell, it's the icing on the cake! It will be fun to see what everyone did while "snowed in". We will not begin our business portion of the meeting until the regular starting time of 6:00.

See you February 27,

Denise
