Does anyone want to join me at my house to assemble the fabric into quilts? Or I can provide 'kits' for you to assemble one at home.<br />
I'm just sewing together pieces of fabric and finishing them by sewing on the backing and turning it inside out through an opening (with the batting encased.) No binding necessary.<br />
<br />
Send me a message if you can help!<br />

This month's block palette is easy: black and white. Feel free to use a solid black or a print that is mostly black (tonal black on black would be great). Dark grey or charcoal would be fine, too. The background should be white. </div>

<br />
At the September meeting I tested the waters for interest in our guild contributing a quilt to the Quilt Con challenge. There was little or no interest expressed at that time. If I am in error and there are people who would like to be part of a team working on this project, please notify me immediately. The entrance forms are due September 30!<br />
<br />
There are very specific guidelines as to colors, design, quilting density and size. You can check the specifics on the national Modern Quilt site. The quilt would need to be completed around Thanksgiving as it needs to be sent on to Houston before the first of the year.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, we need YOU to run for Secretary. Please email madmodquiltguild@gmail.com and tell us you're interested. Its important that you are able to attend most meeting and to find a back up note taker when you are absent. Post meeting minutes within 7 days of meetings and attend quarterly officer meetings and other duties as needed. You're attending the meetings anyway you might as well take the meeting minutes! :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried my hand at making a pattern; if you are experienced at paper piecing please take a try at this one! I'll have the pattern and gray background fabric at the meeting. Waiting in the wings, I have some cool raindrop fabric to use along with the umbrellas.</div>

As always, there will be superhero kits available at the meeting. There will also be several superhero tops available for quilting. These do not need to be elaborately quilted; the batt is Warm and White so the stitching can be widely spaced. The completed ones are so much fun!</div>

The instructions produce a block that finishes at 24.5 inches (!). A little big, so the requirement for the lotto will be to make only one of the quadrants, which finish at 12.5 inches. You will make a small, medium, and large unit for each quadrant. These can then be assembled according to the quadrant diagrams (step 4). You can choose either the A, B, C, or D placement for your units. Please use white for the background fabric.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">How to play: Make up the block for the month following the pattern and color scheme. Make as many as you want as you will get an entry for every block you make! Bring all your finished blocks to the meeting on September 11th and we will draw a winner. If there are enough blocks to be divided, multiple winners will be drawn. The winner then gets all of those blocks to make a quilt (or similar project)! The winner can participate in following lottos but can't win again until a completed project is presented. </span><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The block is Skinny Churn Dash and can be found <a href="http://hoosiertoni.blogspot.com/2013/08/skinny-churn-dash-and-variations.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. There are several variations she shows, so if one of the other churn dash styles inspires you go for it! I think the variation would be fun. The blocks should finish around 12.5".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">How to play: Make up the block for the month following the pattern and color scheme. Make as many as you want as you will get an entry for every block you make! Bring all your finished blocks to the meeting on July 10th and we will draw a winner. If there are enough blocks to be divided, multiple winners will be drawn. The winner then gets all of those blocks to make a quilt (or similar project)! The winner can participate in following lottos but can't win again until a completed project is presented. </span><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span><br />

Are there adult summer camps?) frame of mind. Pine needles and clear water. Paddling canoes and lounging on docks. Campfires and s'mores. This month's palette is called Lake Tones and it makes me think of all these things.</span><br />
