Piecemakers Club

The August meeting of the Piecemakers Club will be Monday, August 20, at 7 PM at Highland Lake Lodge. The program will be presented by Mary Massey. It is a new twist on a 9-patch block. The blocks are not all cut the same size so look at the diagram carefully. Make one 9-patch block with the blocks listed below and bring it along with one 5 ¾ inch square, cut in half cross ways. Bring machine and supplies, addition blocks if you want to make more.
To make the nine patch block sew in this order:

*** Remember:***

Star Blocks

Please continue to work on your star block and turn it in at a club meeting. Each member is ask to make ONE block with a favorite star pattern using red, white, blue and/or gold. The block should be 12 ½” when you complete it, and it will sew together as a 12” block. This will be 2008 Club quilt. Everyone please participate.
Just One Block! (But we will take more)
