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!
