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 . . .

August 2011 Meeting

Well, on a personal note, we moved to a new home and my camera cable went missing.  Located it a few days ago so I am now able to post the August pictures from Sew 'n Tell - better late than never!  But the Sew 'n Tell Sign-up Sheet is still MIA, so I can only post descriptions from my memory which is shot . . . hopefully, the list will surface soon . . .


These first 15 quilts were made by Joanne for the Honor Flight participants in honor of her Dad, Francis J. Schwab, a veteran of the US Navy, having served as Radio Man First Class on the USS Ingersoll from 1942 - 1946.  The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. The organization transports our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials.  Joanne made a quilt on behalf  of each of her siblings and parents!
