March 29th Quilt Celebration!

Diana brought a darling "International" baby quilt to celebrate on Tuesday.

There is a long story of International travel, marriages, and babies over the course of decades that has resulted in her making this quilt for a great- niece or nephew (I think!)

It's sock-monkey fabric!

Wonderful, Diana!

Happy Quilting!!

Quilt Celebrations for March 22, 2015!

We had a couple of show-and-tells last night, as well as celebrations!

Susy brought her Hunter's Star to show before quilting it.  She also said that the Block Magazine pattern was not the easiest to use.  Forewarned is forearmed!

It's still beautiful, Susy!

Ruth brought a patriotic top to show that she worked on during the retreat she attended recently.

Lots of fun details, Ruth.  Nice job!

She also shared an Amish-type quilt she made from a $5 block club.

Beautiful, Ruth!

Connie shared the quilt she made for her grandson, Will, for his 10th birthday. She hid 10 "Wills" in the quilting!

What fun, Connie!

Deborah made this cute summer spread from fabric she found in the Country Store during the quilt show.  It's for her niece and nephew for a wedding gift.  He works in the film industry in Hollywood!

Great job, Deborah!

Cynthia brought her lovely 4-patch exchange quilt.  As you can see, she used them as the centers for bear-paw blocks.  Isn't it amazing?

Absolutely beautiful, Cynthia!

Happy Quilting!!

March 15th Quilt Celebrations!

Marylu brought a couple of Linus quilts tonight.  Both are great.

 I love the color!

This one has Bessie Pease Gutmann images on it!

So cute!

Jessie brought a show-and-tell that she got at Visiting Nurses last weekend.  She's hoping that Shirley Taylor can help date it, but thinks that some of the fabrics are mid-1800's.

Great Find!!

Happy Quilting!

2016 Quilt Show!!!

What an awesome show we had!  I've put together an album that resides on Picasa.  I'll post a few here, but you can see all of the pictures if you follow this link: 2016 Quilt Show

I love listening to her tell the stories of her quilts.

Such a great job, Rachelle!

The lunch kitchen did a booming business, as did the Country Store.

A wonderful success all the way around!

I just love how our group works together!
