Wilma Blair introduced our speaker for the evening Renne Dickins
from the Vera Lloyd Childrens Home. She had a presentation film for
us to see the campus and homes. She had many special stories about
the children from 8-18 years of age. They are starting a
transitional program and home for ages 18 and over to further help
in their lives.
She answered questions from the audience and we all enjoyed her
presentation. We presented her with the quilts we have made this

Antique Block Challenge
Description:
For this challenge, each month we will be distributing
instructions for making a different quilt block from an older
obscure block pattern that we dont commonly see. All of the block
patterns are from the 1890s. Directions will be given for making
the block in both 12" and 9" (finished) sizes, so you can make
whichever size blocks you prefer. At the end of the year you will
have enough blocks to make a sampler quilt top depending on how you
want to set them. In December, we will also have an optional 13th
block instruction for those who want to set their blocks on point
in 13 blocks layout (3-2-3-2-3) layout rather than a conventional 3
x 4 layout of 12 blocks. Obviously, you can make more than the 12
blocks if you want a larger quilt. Since you will be making these
blocks from your stash, you are free to use whatever fabrics you
want. The blocks will be distributed in order of complexity, with
the January block being the easiest one and the December block
being the more complex one. But all should be relatively easy for a
quilter of even modest experience level to piece, i.e., no curved
piecing, no paper piecing, no set in seams, etc.
Signing up:
We will have a signup sheet at the January guild meeting for
signing up to join the challenge. If you want to join the challenge
later in the year, you will still be able to do so by getting the
block patterns that have been distributed so far from the challenge
chairperson.
Getting The Block Instructions:
When signing up for the block challenge, you will indicate on
the sign-up sheet how you want to receive the instructions, i.e.,
either by email (free and in color!) or a printed hard copy (black
and white copy for 25 cents each month, funds to go to the guild).
The emailed instructions for each month will be distributed the day
after each guild meeting. Each months instructions are in a PDF
document and will be distributed in both sizes (12 x 9). The
instructions include rotary cutting directions along with a diagram
of how the pieces are to be put together to form the block.
Monthly Show and Tell:
During each monthly guild meeting, the challenge chairperson
will show the completed block for the current month and encourage
those who have made their blocks for the previous month to show
theirs as well. Sometime in early to mid 2013, well have a reveal
at one of our guild meetings to show what everyone made for the
challenge.
