April Meeting Recap

We met on Saturday April 15th.

Quilt Events

A reminder of some upcoming quilting events:

  • A Mountain Quiltfest : Pigeon Forge, June 5 - 8
  • Smokey Mountain Quilters Quilt Show : Knoxville Expo Center, June 23 - 24, entries due April 22


  • Charity Quilts

    We will be sending one of last year's charity quilts to Poland for Ukrainian refugees as part of the Wrap Ukraine with Quilts project (see https://hellocottons.com/)

    Another of last year's quilts was bound by Christy

    Polka dot star blocks were collected in for the first of this year's charity quilts.  Watch this space for how those look when assembled into a quilt.


    Show and Tell

    We saw a great variety of quilts in our Show&Tell - variety in styles and construction methods.
