August 2015 Meeting

The Bees met at Helen's house on August 25. Dinner was a fabulous Mediterranean chicken brought by Tricia (Peggy's recipe), couscous, and a multicolored salad from Randi. Linda brought brownie bites for dessert. We missed Dawn, but all other Bees were present.

We didn't have much business to discuss, but Randi brought a ruler called the Easy Circle Cut Ruler from Sharon Hultgren, and she gave us a quick demo. This is the ruler she used to make the hexi quilt she showed us last month, and it's available at JoAnn's.


Show & Tell

Randi showed a picture she received from a friend named Stevi Kittleson, who lives rather primitively (as I recall Randi's story) on Hornby Island in British Columbia and who makes her artwork from photos she takes of recycled junk. She has a website called Junkyard Byrds, where you can see a lot more of her work. This picture of a bee is completely fascinating, and we spent quite a bit of time passing it around and examining it, trying to decide what all it was made from.


Randi also shared a quilt she made for some friends from Girl Scouts.


Peggy showed a fabulous quilt she made from a Ricky Tims design. It is called Lady of Shallot. 


Rita showed some woodblock prints with quilting. 



Helen made a purse and a puzzle quilt she's been wanting to make ever since she worked at Sierra Sewing.
