~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sharon Stroud~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We welcomed Sharon Stroud to our meeting today. Delivering a wonderful lecture based on her Dresden Plates of Distinction.

A close-up of a plate made from fussy cut owls.

This quilt illustrates how you can make a pair of blades one image, in this instance she paired butterfly wings.

If this fabric were still available I know some of us would want it! It is a quilt Sharon hangs in her library's annual show for the re-enjoyment of many!

This is the whole quilt pieced with the owl fabric shown in the border. Notice all the variations in the plates.

A workshop followed the meeting. Sixteen of us were able to learn how to make our own plates and enjoy Sharon for a few more hours! Thanks Sharon for a great day of quilting and inspiration!

Next month we will experience Melanie & Mary Ann aka Ethel & Lucy! We get to Meet Two Members!

December 12th will be our annual Holiday celebration. Bring a dish to share.

We will also have a gift exchange. I ask that you make a boutique quality item. This does not have to be holiday themed. Make something you would love to receive! If we have to put a monetary value on this...let's say something you would sell for around $15.00.

If you have any questions email me kdeverett@live.com!

Start gathering your Flea Market items for the annual sale in January. Your stash is another woman's treasure!

Go forth and CREATE!
