Zippered Pouch Swap

 Saturday was our August meeting for the

Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild

This was a 

just be together and visit

kind of gathering this month.

We did not have a scheduled workshop

or guest lecturer.

Instead we requested everyone bring

Show and Tell

and

exchanges.

 Every month Chelsea Knight leads our group in a Swap

The requirements are posted a month in advance.

This month's theme was

Zippered Pouch's

 Anyone can join in at any time.

Bring your item and place it on the Swap table.

 Each person who contributes draws a number

and in return

 is given a bag off the table.

 This month's requirements:

Zippered Pouches needed to be

at least 4" X 4" 

and must be homemade.

 They were to be made from at least 2 or more fabrics

and have at least 1 zipper.

Other than that, the sky was the limit!

 Chelsea always gives very helpful ideas and links

for patterns and tutorials

on our Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild blog. 

There was a lot of laughter

and thank you's

as each participant 

received their pouches.

It helps us get to know one another

and we become better friends

and grow closer as guild members

when we make things for each other.

A lot of attention, time, creativity

and thoughtfulness go into these Swaps.

Next month's theme is

a Pillow Swap

I'm looking forward to 

seeing all of the fun

ideas these ladies 

come up with.
