October Swap - Polaroid Blocks

There is still time to get ready for our October Swap! Thanks to Debbie (Mumziepooh) for compiling the instructions based on our flickr group discussion.

1. Make groups of 5 - you take home a group of 5 for every group of 5 you submit.

2. Due at October meeting (October 19th)

3. Use this tutorial: Polaroid Blocks

4. Leave them untrimmed so you can trim yours all the same!

5. Reveal in January.  (enjoy!!)

Baby Boom, a quilt for baby Emma

Here at the HMQG, we've had quite a baby boom.  One of the great (awesome!) things about our guild is our Sunshine Committee. They arrange the treats at our meetings (yah!), but they also organize baby quilts. Usually, the Sunshine Committee picks a pattern and members volunteer to make blocks, or quilt it, or bind it, etc.

Today we are showing off Emma's quilt. You guys know Patty right? She's the creator of cute fabric lines, most recently Les Amis. Baby Emma is her sweetest creation yet!







The pattern is a Disappearing Nine Patch and the fabrics are mostly 30s reproductions.



You can read more about Emma's quilt at Patty's blog. Do be sure to look around though as Patty has made several wee little dresses for her girl. Everything is darling.
