What a great meeting of the Syracuse Utah Quilt Guild.  Lots of information and fun quilts.
Sandra shared lots of information from the Utah State Quilt Guild including exciting information about the the Guilds 40th Anniversary, the Ruby Jubilee in 2017.  She asked us to start thinking about making a Red and White quilt to go on a road show around the state.  It should be lots of fun.  We also spent some time talking about this year's quilt fest and providing feedback.

Block of the Month Big Reveal



 Nancy displayed her finished top of the Syracuse Block of the Month we started last fall.  It's a big quilt with a 32 inch center square and 16 inch outer squares.  Very pretty!









Winners - 

It's always fun drawing for door prizes.  Today's winners were Kathy, Nancy and RoseAnn


Guild Quilt for Festival of Trees Finished


With fabric donated by Diane, blocks made by members and machine quilted by Diane, our Festival of Trees Quilt is ready to go.  Turned out so pretty and named Pink Sherbet Parfait.


What did you want to know when you first started quilting?

Karen did a wonderful lesson on some essentials for caring for your machine and we all were interested to learn about threading your machine correctly depending on how the thread is wound on the spool.  Did you know that thread may be cross-wound or parallel; makes a difference in whether you should use an upright spool-holder or a horizontal one.    
Learning our P's and Q's of bobbins


So many kinds of threads
