January 2012 Meeting

We had a program today on Scrap Quilts and the following are pictures from that presentation:






The following pictures are from the Sew 'n Tell after the presentation:


Kare quilted Just Ducky - a UFO from perhaps 10 years ago!

Carolyn finished piecing this top for one of her granddaughters!

Beth showed us a Disappearing 9-Patch made from Winnie the Pooh fabric!  She even showed us how she made it!

Doris made this lap quilt for her sister who loves Boyd's Bears.  She was unable to find Boyd's Bears fabric, so she substituted Paddington Bear fabric!
Here is another one made by Doris.  She calls it a Chicken Feed Lap Quilt.  This was foundation pieced on muslin! 
 Doris made this from the 2011 Guild BOM.  It was pretty bright and cheerful! 
Linda has been busy too, she finished this tote bag
 Linda also finished this UFO - she HAND QUILTED it! 
These are two walling hangings rescued from Carolyn + Jeanette's Mom's stash!  The blocks were all ready done, so Linda sashed them and made 2 wall hangings!


This is a sampler quilt from years ago that Doris just finished.  The top was freehand quilted on her longarm.  Really, a great piece of work!

This quilt by Deb is on my personal Quilt Bucket List . . . it's the Christmas Pickle!
This is a patriotic table runner that Deb just whipped up.
This is a tabby cat kids quilt.  Deb promised to let us all know where she found the pattern!   Below is a duck quilt she made too!

Lastly, a cute purse made by Deb
 Theses are the 5 blocks that will make the last row for the quilt pictured below.  Roberta has been working on this project all year and sharing it with us!
This is one of the Row Robin tops that's waiting for one more row . . .
This block is called Anita's Arrowhead and it was a family project.  Karen was supposed to make a quilt of these blocks, but this is as far as she got . . . . ummmmm, been there, done that!
This is the quilt top from the 2010 Guild Retreat.  Trust me, it is gorgeous.

September 2011 Meeting

Today we met for the September Meeting with 3 guests in attendance!

We drew a name from raffle ticket sales for the Guild Quilt and the winner (far left) came during our meeting to pick it up!  She was quite excited as her bedroom is all of the colors in the quilt!
 This is Carolyn's Quilt she entered in the local County Fair and won a ribbon!
This is Carolyn's block from the Guild BOM Program



This is Rhonda's block from the Guild BOM Program
 Rhonda entered the following 3 projects in her local County Fair and won a ribbon for each one!


 Rhonda finished this cuddly flannel quilt that she had started at the February Quilt Retreat!

This are Mary's blocks from the Guild BOM Program 



These are Doris W's blocks from the Guild BOM Program











 
This is Doris G's Civil War Quilt.  I do not want to think about how many half-square triangles she had to make for this monstrosity! 
April purchased this gorgeous bag at the Bonnie Brae Quilt Show last month,  I believe this technique is reverse applique . . .
