GROUP
ACTIVITIES AND SHOW AND
TELL
Encouraging each other
is an important and effective way to share and gain
knowledge as well
as increase confidence in ourselves as well as others.
Bringing our projects for Show and Tell is a wonderful way to accomplish this.

COMMUNITY SERVICE QUILTS
AND PROJECTS GALLERY
Through the years,
Patchin' People as a group as well as our individual members, have
made and
presented hundreds of quilts
of all sizes to various community organizations.
We currently meet several hours prior to our monthly meetings to have "sew
time" to work
together on these projects.
Block patterns are occasionally given out at meetings to
facilitate production
and uniformity of blocks for some quilts.
Members also work on
projects at home. Everyone's efforts are
greatly appreciated!
And the recipients are extremely grateful and pleased.

projects.
SUMMER BLOCK
EXCHANGE
Beginning in
2000, interested members of Patchin' People have participated in this summer
project.
Each person makes a designated amount of the same block pattern using different
fabrics. The group
meets six to eight times throughout the summer to exchange blocks with each
other.
Voila! Instead of each member making all the blocks for their own quilt, they
have many blocks
with interesting fabric combinations made by other members of the group.
Group participation has been around fifteen each summer.

Exchanges.
DRAWING BLOCKS
At various times
throughout the years, we have had the "drawing block" activity.
Members make a block, or as many blocks as they wish, according to pattern
and fabric/color guidelines. For each block made, the person's name is put
into a "hat." Names are drawn out of the hat to receive some or
all of the
blocks, depending upon the number of participants.
