May 20th and 27th Quilt Celebrations!

I never got to posting last week's quilt celebration, so it's a "Two-Fer" this time!

Last week I celebrated my "Diamond Little." 

It's the first in a series (I hope!) of little quilts.

 * * * * * * *

This week, we got to see Marla's last graduation quilt,

made for her youngest grandson.

It's just beautiful.

And a table runner also.

Beautiful, Marla!

And Marylu brought her first graduation quilt, 

made for her oldest grandson in Hawaii!

There were lots of comments about how much it looks like Hawaii.

Lovely, Marylu!

And then, after many had already left, Cynthia Wallace showed us her 

almost-finished quilt for her three-year-old granddaughter,

to whom she'll be giving it later this week!

So pretty, Cynthia!

Happy Quilting!

May 6th Quilt Celebrations!

We had a busy night on Tuesday.  Barb, Diana and Theresa all brought quilts to celebrate!

The first of Barb's two is for her grandson.

The owl theme has become popular again.

Cute, cute quilt!

And the back!

Her second is her cow quilt.  Absolutely darling!

The back is a cow print, but the picture didn't come out.

Wonderful, Barb!!

Diana brought one she made for a nurse.

The quotations are so cute!

Very fun, Diana!

Theresa brought her "Pointless Star."  Is that right, Theresa?

She said it pretty much drove her crazy, but she's glad it's finished!

I like it, Theresa!

Happy Quilting!!

April 29th Quilt Celebration!

Theresa brought a couple of fun projects on Tuesday evening.

Lots of great color!

Here are her placemats and table topper in a grape theme.

And here is her Kaffe Fassett quilt.

She used shot cottons, regular cottons,

and these beautiful prints from the Kaffe Fassett line.

Beautiful, Theresa!!

After celebration, Connie did a demonstration on making four-patches for our block exchange.  And I mindlessly forgot to take pictures!  But it was fun, and we all gleaned something from watching her.  I'm looking forward to doing the blocks!

Happy Quilting!!

Ruth's Bon Voyage Party!

Ruth sent me these photos from her going-away party,

and I wanted to share them.

What a fun evening.  Thanks, everyone, for making it a special time!

Singing our prayer.

Feasting!

"Donald, Where's Your Trousers?"

April 15th Quilt Celebration!

Tuesday evening Carolann brought her quilt made in memory of her husband, Tony, which is a gift for her youngest daughter, Lexi.  It is made from Hawaiian fabrics reminiscent of Tony's shirts.  As she didn't want to cut up his shirts, a friend of hers brought back fabrics from Hawaii which she used in place of them.  When it was finished, she had Barb quilt it.  There are palm trees in the quilting!  It's a beautiful tribute, Carolann.

Lovely work!

Happy Quilting!

Clark County Quilt Show in Vancouver

Yesterday a few of us went to a quilt show in Vancouver.  Here are a few pictures from the exhibit.  In the first shot, you'll see Susy's "Effie's Basket" quilt top on the display wall of the "Momma Made It" booth.  When we got there 2 hours after opening, Sharon said she had already sold one kit for it!

Enjoy!

April 1st Quilt Celebrations!

We had two lovely quilts to celebrate on Tuesday.  Pat brought her batik beauty and Sharon brought her amazing pieced rose quilt.

Pat used jelly rolls for this one and a couple of the gals at Sisters

helped her find the perfect border.

Beautiful, Pat!

Sharon says there are 174 pieces (did I get that right?) in each of the blocks!!

The quilting is roses in salmon-colored thread.

Wonderful work, Sharon!

Happy Quilting!!
