Judy Anderson presided over the meeting today. We had a little bit of business to conduct followed by show and tell. After show and tell, Guild members helped to pin baste the Library Quilts. The library quilt is an ongoing project lead by Judy Anderson with some help from Susan Brittingham. We are making three community quilts to hang in the Jessie Peterman Library of Floyd. Many Quilt Guild members have contributed blocks for inclusion in the quilts as have community members along with people who have fond memories of Floyd from as far away as Alabama. Judy and Susan arranged the blocks, sashed them and sewed them together. Now the quilt is basted.
The picture below gives you an idea of how the quilt looks with sashing. Larger photos of the blocks in the center portion of the quilt can be seen here: Library Quilt
