September 2010 Meeting

We had lots to sew 'n tell at today's meeting!

This is Carolyn's first quilt and she is one of our newest members!  It's a Suduko pattern in bright greens, yellows and purples with black borders that she is making for her daughter!

Doris has been working overtime making 8 pillowcases for the Guild service project!

 Kathy was taking a class on this new design technique and was supposed to be making a backgammon board, but she doesn't know how to play, so she made a tote instead!

Here is Deb with her completed Jacob's Ladder that she HAND QUILTED . . . it's taken her 2 years to finish it and it's gorgeous! 

These are Rhonda's Guild BOM blocks

This is Mary's Guild BOM block!

Jeanette made this gorgeous red + white sawtooth star!

Carolyn showed this top in July, but now it's finished!  The top was started by Jeanette and Carolyn's Mom and Carolyn finished the quilt for her - it's gorgeous!

This is a quilt Kare found online and tweaked it a little from the free pattern that was posted on Patchwork Times - it's called Scraps Ahoy!

Karen has made another quilt from one of Pat Speth's books More Nickel Quilts.  It is going to be a king size quilt when she adds the two borders!

July 2010 Meeting

The following pictures are of some embroidery blocks that Kathy has been constructing in classes in Upper Sandusky!  The yellow cone flower is my favorite!

Pat attended the meeting with 2 of her grandchildren!

This quilt was made by Carolyn for a family member in California!

The quilt with the flying green geese was made by Carolyn several years ago . . . Carolyn's Mom saw her quilt, liked it and decided to make one for herself and made her flying geese pink!  Same quilt, just different color schemes. 

Here is Mary with her Guild BOM blocks!

May 2010 Meeting

Since I was not able to attend the April meeting, I asked the members who had something for sew 'n tell to bring the items back again this month so I could photograph them! 

First up is Mary with her completed quilt top from our February 2010 Retreat.  What is wrong with this picture?  I do not even have all of my blocks cut out and her top is done, and to really frost my cake, she had this done for last months meeting... what an incredible job Mary!

Mary also brought her completed  blocks from this years Guild BOM program

Next up is Rhonda with a bright baby quilt (I love the spikes) and a tulip wall hanging that she hangs at work!

This is Deb's embroidered quilt top from the LQS BOM - it was a work of art!

Here is Deb again with a tote bag she made from the 2009 Quilt Retreat challenge fabric

This is a LQS BOM "from years ago" that Doris finally made into a bright and colorful baby quilt.  I have this BOM too, all of the blocks are done and just sitting in a pizza box . . .

Here is Kathy with an iris table runner, her work is impeccable!

Here is Kathy again with another project, a gorgeous swing jacket that was free motion quilted!

Here is Doris with a colorful lap quilt!  It is so striking!

Doris then showed us a large wall hanging she made from mens ties for a friend who lost her husband.

Doris also made 15 pillowcases for our service project, a local shelter.

 

Here is Sue Miss Productivity with a bed quilt that she made from last years Guild BOM. I have the instructions for this, but never made it, now that I've seen Sue's I want to get going on one!

And last, but certainly not least is a quilt Karen made from a pattern in Pat Speth's Nickel Quilts book.  What a great job!
