June 2011 Meeting

We had a short + sweet meeting today!  Several sew 'n tells too:

This is a potholder from the February 2011 Guild Retreat that Kathy + Doris gifted to all the attendees!  Karen recently finished hers
 

Karen also found a free pattern for this small wall hanging on a blog!  She may gift it to a niece who loves the Denver Broncos!

Eileen has been busy embroidering throws for recent graduates!  What a great non-labor-intensive idea!

Sue has been busy finishing up projects.  This was a BOM from a LQS.  Love the bright colors in this one - it's so cheerful!

Sue also finished a bed runner from a Judy Niemeyer Bali Wedding Star Pattern.  This was absolutely gorgeous.  I can hardly wait to see it quilted . . .

Kathy has been machine embroidering again - here is her gecko tote bag.  She even added an "extra" block to the inside lining of the bag!

This is a lap quilt that Kathy also machine embroidered.  Below is a close up . . . .

This is a close up of two of the blocks from Kathy's lap quilt.

                                             This is a Double Wedding Quilt that Doris made as a wedding gift for one of her children.  The picture below is a close-up

This is a close-up of the quilting on Doris' Double Wedding Ring . . . the feathering was really elegant! 

Apparently Doris, aka the Pillowcase Goddess, was not busy enough working on that DWR Quilt as she managed to whip up 56 pillowcases for a local shelter!

This is a colorful donation quilt that Linda whipped up!

Here is another donation sampler quilt made from some donated blocks that Linda rescued!

Linda also made 5 pillowcases. but apparently, I forgot to take a picture of them :(

This is a quilt that Pam recently finished.  Pam was working on this quilt at our Guild Quilting Retreat back in February.  The quilt was constructed from a jelly roll!

These are some BOM that Mary made, two blocks are from the 2010 Guild BOM Program and the other is from the Guild 2011 BOM Program.

I apologize for this picture, as there are two dolls but only one pictured that Jeanette made for The Giving Doll Project for children in need.  Each handmade doll comes with a blanket and tote bag and some even have little trinkets, like the little Matchbox car with the boy doll, or sometimes a book!

These two blocks are Carolyn's from the Guild BOM Program.

Carolyn also has been busy finishing up a UFO from 2003 - a Stack 'n Whack Quilt!

                                     Carolyn also finished a signature quilt for her family reunion later this month.

This is a new project I am working on from a pattern called Fast Forward by Julie Herman.  I love this quilt and it is so simple and fast to construct.  Julie has a blog called Jaybird Quilts, I strongly suggest you check out her pattern tab to see what she has to offer - the quilts are all so cute!
