Chase the winter chill away by enjoying the warmth of your MSQTG friends!  Bring your favorite salad or dessert to share and enjoy an evening of games, companionship and fun.  Dinner will begin at 6:30 so please plan to come early!

You will not want to miss this meeting.  We will kick off the 2010 Fabric Challenge and begin sign-up for the 2010 Birthday Fabric Club, plus discuss other exciting 2010 programs we have planned!

We look forward to seeing you as we celebrate the beginning of a great new year!

Please note:  The Block of the Month presented at the October 27th meeting is due at the January 26, 2010 meeting.

The very cute October Block of the Month entitled “Rachel’s Attic Windows” was prepared by our youngest, but very talented member, Rachel Frick.  She even completed a quilt top to show members how the blocks appear after they are assembled!!  Isn’t it wonderful to see such amazing ability in someone so young!!!

First, stitch together nine 4″ squares. For maximum contrast in this particular block, use five black prints and four red prints and arrange them so the black prints form the “X” of the 9-patch.

Square this block to 11″, then cut the block once vertically, then once horizontally. You will then have four 5 1/2″ blocks.

Rearrange the four 5 1/2″ blocks to form a new block design, then stitch them together.
