We had a meeting of GASP at my home tonight. GASP is an abbreviation of
Groesbeck Applique Support Providers. We used to support each other by making applique quilts but we have since moved on to other kinds of quilts. Most of us live in the
Groesbeck Neighborhood which includes: me, Carol Se, Daisy, Ruth, Lisa, Eileen, Barb, our new member Jackie Bu and sometimes Melissa, other members Carol Sc, Linda, and Marti don't live in the neighborhood but we don't mind.
Our current project is to use the leftover fabric from the Solar Circle Raffle Quilt to make small quilts that Solar Circle can sell or auction as an additional fundraiser. Solar Circle will be selling items at the
Amazwi Contemporary Art Gallery in
Saugatuck in May so we are trying to get several small quilts completed in time to be included in their fundraiser.
To learn more about Solar Circle, check out their website:
http://solar-circle.org/ Pictures of and the story about the Solar Circle Raffle quilt are also available at the website.

Carol Sc created this spectacularly graphic piece using her own red and black fabrics with the African circle fabric.

Carol Sc also created this small quilt top. What a great idea and a great effect.

This is my contribution. I just added fabric on either end and hand quilted the top. I think it would make a nice table runner. I just need to add the binding.

Linda already finished this piece. She added some of her own African fabric scraps to make a very arty quilt.

Linda is making a second quilt. This one features the African fabric and the fabric description from the selvage edge.

Eileen brought some of her hand made purses to "show and tell". This one is made from two
place mats. Way cool!!

This one is made from designer dish towels. Very creative Eileen! Eileen is going to be celebrating her Birthday tomorrow. Happy Birthday Eileen!!!

Linda had a completed quilt for show and tell. Very bright, way hot!!!
My Aunt Cathy M. is a quilter and she is having surgery tomorrow so I am sending hopes and prayers her way.
