Syracuse Utah Quilters

Another successful, interesting and educational quilt meeting was held on May 14th. One of newest members, Becky, was our birthday girl of the month. Several of the members gave some informative information, such as Susan gave us inputs about squaring up quilt tops.  She also told us about different apps and computer programs to investigate, especially to look for block ideas.  I, myself, passed around for everyone to see what TrueCut Quilting Rulers look like since many had never seen them before.   Belinda gave us some tips she had researched about squaring up a quilt block. A sign up sheet was passed around for our annual potluck in June.  Should be another wonderful day. We had two guest speakers, Marlene Lewellyn from "My Heritage Fabrics" (who is located in the same building as Rainbow Gardens in Ogden) and Tara Baca (a long arm quilter).  They both gave us their history with quilting, trunk show, and any suggestions/tips about quilting.  Marlene also showed us

So a couple of us (me, Suzanne, and Teri) from quilt group decided to go to HQMS together on opening day.  We also invited a friend, Rebecca, of Suzanne's from her knitting group.  All 4 of us enjoyed the show tremendously and each other's company.  (Thanks for driving, Suzanne)  I sure hope many of you got to go ... and didn't wipe out your life savings at the vendors.  Oh there was SO much to look at and buy!!  If you didn't get to go,  I am posting several of the quilts at the show that I found to be wonderful. I thought this pattern was fun for the fabrics Trying to catch a picture of Suzanne with some wonderful quilts as the background I thought this was a very fun quilt Gosh I wonder if someday I could ever make a quilt like this Or me make a quilt like this one.  This I thought this pattern really make the colors pop. You will have to forgive me.  I took a lot of pictures of whimsical quilts.  They are my favorites. This is
