November 2010 Meeting

The picture above is the Guild's 2010-11 Raffle Quilt.  We all worked on the blocks at last months meeting and Doris has been busy sewing all of those blocks together.  It's now ready to be taken to a local longarmer!

This months meeting was really exciting as we had several demos:

• English Paper Piecing
• Lil' Twister and the Twister rulers
• No Waste Flying Geese
• 10 minute Block

I think everyone really had a great time with the demos.

So here are the results of our Sew 'n Tell

This is one of the first quilts that Pam made.  It's a rag quilt and the shot below is of the bottom portion of the quilt which I seemed to have cut-off in the picture to the left . . .

Rhonda is making several of these cute trees for family members!

Roberta is making these cute snowmen for her family members - she must of had at least a dozen of them!

Kathy made a cover for a pillow and a machine embroidered angel for the top of a tree!

Linda B made this quilt for our guild service project, a local shelter

Here is another quilt for the shelter made by Linda

Linda also made a cute flip flop tote!

Doris made a quilt from a classic block pattern found in the Nov/Dec 10 issue of Quiltmaker magazine. 
This classic block was re-designed by Anita Grossman Solomon and utilizes a revolutionary piecing technique.



 

Here is a foundation pieced string quilt made by Doris!

Here's another from Doris with a neat border fabric - and she even mitered the corners - very impressive!

Doris also made this Paddington Bear quilt.  It was a long time in the making for a family member - looks like it was worth the wait though!

Pat M made this cute bag to hold the essentials, credit cards, and a cell phone! 

This is just one of several blocks that Jane's daughter, Kelly, who is a beginner quilter, brought to show us. 

Carol finished the quilt for her daughter, it's machine quilted and bound! 

Here's a purse Carol modified with pockets to suit her needs!

Here's Eileen with a baby quilt suitable for a boy that she was working on at our Guild Retreat last month.  It's done!

Here's Eileen again, this time with a baby quilt for a little girl and it's done too!

Kare just needs to add borders to this top she was working on at the guild retreat . . .   

 The end!
