May Meeting 2012

The following pictures are from The May 12 Sew 'n Tell

This is Joanne's Puzzle Quilt!

This is the back of Joanne's Puzzle Quilt - it's reversible!

  Joanne took 8 days of classes from Judy Niemeyer  back in April and this is one of the quilts she made.  It's called Summer Solstice.

This is another quilt she made at the Judy Niemeyer workshop.  All the components were completed at the workshop and she assembled them when she got home.  This is pretty huge 104" square!

This is a machine cover that Joanne designed.  It was the prototype for the final product pictured below . . .

Machine Cover #2 - final  This one has an opening in the top to carry a machine by a handle, a built in pincushion and pockets!

This is a tote Joanne designed to carry all the sewing projects and notions!

Here's the Flip-Flap purse Joanne made that had lots of little pockets and flaps to store stuff in!

This is Deb's BOM from a few years ago.  It is digitized embroidery + applique 

Here is another BOM of Deb's from a a few years ago too!

This is a quilt Deb just completed made from reproductions of Depression Era fabrics

This is Doris' Pokeberry Quilt.  It took her over 20 hours + 8 needles to quilt on a longarm.  There were well over 100 pokeberries on this quilt.  She is not fond of Pokeberries anymore - just sayin . . .

Doris just designed this monkey quilt for a baby quilt!

This is a donation quilt Linda B just completed 

This is a Stack 'n Whack that Doris just finished!

 Kathy W made this wall hanging for her church

 Here is another larger one that will hang in the church also

Thelma was a guest at the May meeting and she brought along some sew 'n tell!   This is a four-patch signature quilt made from civil war reproduction materials.  It's a Julie Bragg, Spirit of '76, pattern named Civil War Soldier Quilt.

During the Civil War the women made quilts for their men who were going off to war. Some were sent to the American Sanitary Commission to be stamped before they were issued to the soldiers. They were long and narrow to fit the army cots. These quilts were made from scraps and old clothes

This is a baby quilt that Joan just completed.  This picture doesn't do it justice though . . .

This is a small wall hanging that Carolyn made from a panel fabric that she cut apart.

This is Carolyn's Signature Quilt for her family reunion in June!

The end.
