February 2011 Meeting

 We had lots of sew 'n tell for today's meeting!  First up is Judy K with a Disappearing 9-Patch quilt













Then there is Pat M with her interpretation of the 2010 Guild Retreat Quilt made for Fred in various shades of purple, bordered in a dark purple with black stars!

 This is Doris' scrappy 2010 Guild Retreat Quilt . . . simply breath taking!  What a great job Doris!

Linda, aka the Pillowcase Goddess with well over 100 made to date, brought in 30 more pillowcases for the Guild service project! 

 Linda also made this quilt from a cheater panel she scored at a local garage sale - also for the Guild service project!

This is the Guild Raffle Quilt which was just returned from the longarmer!

Jeanette just finished a QOV (Quilts of Valor) with some fabrics donated by Moda!   The QOV group has planned a trip to a military facility (in the Toledo area I think) where they plan on distributing approx 30+ quilts!

 I went on a 4 day/3 night quilting retreat at the end of January and had a very productive time as you can see by the following 5 pictures.  First up is UFO #3, a Disappearing 9-Patch from an online swap, quilted and bound . . . Done, Done and Done!

This is Now & Later, UFO No. 3, and all I have left to do on this one is to tack the binding to the back!  I am not all that crazy about this quilt, but when I purchased the pattern I was hungry and there were Now + Later candies attached to the pattern so I bought it! 

Next thing are Tulip blocks made from 30's reproduction fabrics from an online swap! 

 This is a top I made from the book Jelly Roll Quilts.  Coincidentally, I used the same line of fabric on my quilt as they did in the book!

Lastly is a top I made from batiks I purchased while in Hawaii!  I saw the pattern for this in the Feb/Mar 2011 issue of McCall's Quick Quilts and it was a breeze to make - it really was quick and easy!
