Our guild met this past Thursday to have a sew day to make weighted blankets for Autistic Children.  We had our meeting first and our Show & Tell.  Wow - A beautiful Carpenters Star Quilt, a Quilted Project bag and a Variation of a Log Cabin Quilt were presented in our show and tell.  We discussed our "Red, White & Blue" Challange Quilt to make for the 2018 Quilt Show and we chose a Pattern - Those who choose to take part of the Challange Quilt will be making Star Blocks in Red, White & Blue" to be made into a beautiful quilt our guild will enter in the quilt show 2018  We also discussed our Road Trip in June to the East Tennesse Quilt Shop Hop. We met at "Mom & Meg's" Quilt Shop in Dandridge TN, Thanks Glenda for making the sewing room available to us. 

Our service project this year was to make several Weighted Blankets for Autistic Children.  Some of us Ladies brought our sewing machines and others helped mark and put the beads in the blanket channels.  Sewing was a 2 person Job to Thanks to all those who stood and held the blankets while they were sewn.  We were able to finish about 5 - 6 blankets to be made available to those in the community who could use them.

My French Broad Quilting Guild here in East Tennessee is making a Row by Row Quilt Too.

My Quilting Guild "The French Broads" are making our own Row Quilt This Year.  I've been having fun creating the blocks.  I got a slow start and am only finished a few blocks for each row.  I have been making 4 - 6 blocks for each row but have not joined my rows together yet.  I'm looking forward to making more rows.
