September 2021

 At this month's meeting Diane presented the Garden Twist Quilt Design.  Members will be showing their challenge quilts at Quiltfest.

Dianne's 30's Ohio Star quilt made with Daisy Kingdom Fabrics.

Pat  gave these blocks to Dianne and she made a trip around the world.

King size quilt by Dianne

Cathie made this quilt for her brother in 2008. It has been well loved and is in need of a new binding and maybe some sashiko stitches where it has worn. The double fold bias binding had parts that were shredded on the outside but intact on the inside! 

"You Go Girl" by Shelley.

Quilt done by Shelley at Quilt Etc. Block of the Month.  She quilted it herself.

This was one of Tina's first quilts. She gave it to her sister.  Made in 1981 and very well preserved!

Jill's Garden Tiles quilt. It is satin stitched applique.  Jill says, "This quilt is me!"

RuthAnn has been busy getting Christmas gifts done, beautifully embroidered tea towels.

Barbara's latest T - Shirt - "May the 1/4 "  be with you"

New member Jan shared her lovely "Flying Geese Head On" quilt.

Sandra's tablerunners of the month, a large one,

and a mini, both for Christmas decorating.

Dianne made a hanger hider.

An earlier version of Garden Twist by Dianne. She showed us how this design is put together resulting in a complicated lattice design. (But it's easier than it looks!)

Dianne showed us her go to table toppers for the table topper of the month. She had quite a variety in every season.

She then showed us how she makes quillows for gifts

Pam made some quillows with fancy ruffles

Members were asked to bring their first or oldest quilt or wall hanging. Dianne's first was made with tiny cathedral windows.

Barbara learned how to make her first quilt when she was 8 years old. Her mother taught her how.

Lisa's second quilt. She made her first in high school. Her mom hand quilted this.

Shelley made her first quilt when she was 14 years old. She learned to do it in a class at school.

Cathie's first wall hanging made with symbols that tell a story of a culture, with an Indian looking print border.

Cathie's quillow made from an online tutorial.

this quillow pattern folds around the back of the pillow as well

Charity quilts by Dianne

It was Henry's 12th birthday so Tina brought yummy mint truffles to share with everyone to celebrate.

Dianne's Christmas UFO - it was a kit that she put her own flair to.

Susan's BOM from Nuttalls

A McCalls quilting pattern backed with fleece by Susan

Susan's Jazz quilt for her son. She even digitized the jazz quilting design.

Some drawings of Christening dresses from Jan's portfolio. When a new baby is born in her family she requests a textile artifact from both sides of the family and designs a custom gown for the child representing both side of their heritage.

Cathie's charity quilt

Tracy has been taking some on line dyeing classes. She said this one looked like a sheet of Nori before she washed the dye out.

She said it was lots of fun!
