Quilt Celebrations from September 9th!

We had two lovely quilts to celebrate on Tuesday evening.

First was Carolann's 1930's reproduction which Lois Stoltenberg

hand-pieced and Carolann has hand-quilted.  The back is

pieced and suits the front so well.  Susy helped with

a serpentine border and Carolann is almost finished

with the binding.  It's to live on her bed, reminding

her of her childhood under the same kind of quilt.

Beautiful, Carolann!

Joan brought the quilt which her sister Valerie sent

for the Possibilities raffle, which takes place next month.

It has been a group effort in finishing it, and the result is stunning!

Thank you Val for donating this beauty!!

Happy Quilting!

Quilt Celebrations from September 2nd!

We had a big celebration time on the 2nd!

There were 5 of us who shared quilts.

First was Rachelle with another UFO completed from her list for this summer!  She machine quilted it and learned a lot, she said.  

I love the colors and the fact that it's a sampler.

Beautiful, Rachelle!

Theresa shared a Linus quilt that she finished.  Lots of machine quilting

and some struggles along the way, but isn't it just cute?!

Such fun, Theresa!

Barb brought her Jakob's quilt made for her niece

who just graduated from High School and is heading away to college.

The French General fabrics are just beautiful.

Lovely quilt, Barb!

Joann showed her cute baby quilt made of fabric

her husband got for her at a yard sale, if I'm remembering correctly.

She put it together is such a fun way.

So cute, Joann!

I brought my LeMoyne Star Pinwheel, which was inspired

by a quilt from 1830, which was made in Boston, Massachusetts.

I used the Collections for a Cause 1852 line from Moda.

Barb did the quilting and designed her own pattern for the LeMoyne blocks and combined others to make a continuous pattern for the other squares.  Didn't she do such a fantastic job?  Thanks, Barb!

Happy Quilting!
