Welcome back some folks and new folks to our group. In attendance, Ellen A, Sandy, Ann, Katie,
Kim, Ellen S, Sara, Linda, Adelle, Emily.
We have a new logo, thank you Katie for designing the Tampa
skyline with hexies, terrific.
Dues for the year are due, $25.
Blocks of the Month:
Everyone brought in the red and white quilty cross blocks
for Ann. Katie gave us all a paper
piecing Economy Block as her choice.
Michael Miller Challenge:
What a great job by everyone. Katie did a Dresden appliqué, called Hop
Scotch Lane. Ann created orange
peels. Sandy made sun rise/sun set. Ellen A made Curvy Mammoth or Curvy MF, its
affectionate name. Emily made Improv
Pinwheels. Adelle created Taking
Shape. Everyone shared their design
story and how the quilt changed during the process. We voted, and a tie between Katie and Adelle. Katie won a package of batting and Adelle
received a fat quarter bundle.
Congratulations to everyone and their quilts.
Katie will create a link on Facebook to the blogs and
Instagram.

Moving our outing trip to our September date. Crafty Threads is hosting a huge Konkerr
Cancer event in September, so a perfect time for us to explore and find
inspirations for a small project. May be
visiting the Dali museum. Consensus was the chiluly and glasst Spot may still
be too ‘hot’ to visit. We learned that
the Dali museum is no charge to Bank of America credit card holders on the first
w/e of the month.
Next meeting: Crafty
Threads, 10A – 3P, August 9. Demos: Katie & basting, Ann & binding, Adelle

ideas of small demos, please bring them! Need help on a project? Bring it! Sara will be the next Block of the
Month. Should be a fun meeting and
learning session.
