September Sew Day

It's great to get back into the swing of things. Now that September is here we are ready to start the 'new year'. This sew day was spent catching up on everyone's summer fun.

We had 38 quilts turned in at this month's sew day. There's plenty of fabric to go through from some of the donations that have come in and we look forward to seeing everyone's creations in the coming months.

We will start up our once a month sew days now that summer is coming to an end and plan a trip to Children's Hospital to deliver all these wonderful quilts soon.

Feel free to check out our pattern page often. We will update the page with more patterns on a regular basis.

May Sew Day

The May meeting was held at a local quilt shop called Coins and Quilts in West Allis, Wisconsin. The shop has a nice big classroom with plenty of room to set up sewing machines. The room also has cutting mats, rulers, ironing boards and irons available for use. What a nice setup!

Some of our volunteers drove in all the way from Door County for today's sew day. They brought plenty of finished quilts along. It's so fun and inspiring to see the variety of fabrics and quilt patterns used to make these beauties.

The ladies sewed from 10 until after 2 in the afternoon filling the day with their enthusiasm for sewing and creativity.  Sew days are a great way to connect with other generous quilting enthusiasts.

Now we look forward to the nice Wisconsin summer so we will not have any more scheduled sew days until September. Until then, we will keep on making more quilts!

April Sew Day

Linda, Shirley, Betty, Bonnie, Sue, Kathy and Judy were all at today's sew day. What a wonderful turnout and they sure were busy. There is so much inspiration among the group. Here are the quilts turned in today.

March Sew Day

We had a great sew day at Judy's today. Judy finished quilting a quilt on her longarm machine and Bonnie sewed the binding on a few quilts to finish them off.

It was a very productive day in her fantastic sewing room. There was plenty of room for all of us to sew and the design boards all around the room made it easy to try new layouts for our quilts.

We could all feel the renewed enthusiasm of the group and look forward to getting back to our regular sewing schedule.

Science Fair Quilt Challenge

Some of our volunteers purchased the pattern, Science Fair from Jaybird Quilts. The challenge was make your own version of the quilt using the pattern. Two of the ladies in our group completed the challenge. Both Pam and Bonnie's quilt tops are beautiful. It's great to see how different everyone interprets a pattern.

Our Peeps Quilt Challenge Continues

The response to the Peeps quilt-making challenge was amazing. We have 9 more Easter-themed quilts to add to the ones our volunteers made last month. Aren't they adorable?

The staff at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is going to love getting these.

Peeps Challenge

We received some really cute Peeps fabric and some other darling Easter prints as a donation so we decided to have a Peeps challenge.

The goal is to complete a quilt using the fabrics in any pattern that the quilter chooses. And what great results! The volunteers sure made some great quilts.
