Wow! What an evening!
First we celebrated the arrival of Jericho Konrad Peterson, who was born on September 23 to Kersten and David Peterson. The group of us contributed blocks for a string quilt in '30's reproduction fabrics. We presented it to Kersten last night, and got to meet Jericho, too! Thanks for bringing him, Kersten and David!

Marylu brought a quilt for which she bought the top. She has wanted a Snail's Trail quilt and thought this was a good way to get one!
Isn't the back amazing, too?
Beautiful, Marylu!

Joyce has been really busy! Not only has she worked on the three quilts for her sons-in-law, she has made this amazing airplane quilt for one grandson and is doing a second one for another grandson!
Isn't it wonderful?
What a fun one, Joyce!

Then Breigh, Joan's granddaughter, shared her very first four-patch!
Great job, Breigh!

Theresa brought her 50th birthday quilt to show. Isn't is just amazing? She told us about the challenges of getting multiple-sized blocks to work in one quilt top. She has done a fabulous job!
What a treasure, Theresa!

Barb brought two really fun ones. First, her pumpkin quilt. The colors are so good.
Isn't it wonderful?
And she brought her "tiny" nine-patch. Each tiny square is 1/2", and each block is 1 1/2". Such splendid detail.
Beautiful, Barb!

Then Jessie shared two of her recently finished quilts. The first is the fourth and last quilt made for Edna Fund's grandchildren. Made with a combination of batiks and quilter's cottons, she found it challenging using different weight cloth. I think the result is rather nice though! The dolphin is wonderful and the quilting Barb did is splendid again!
The second is a baby quilt for her cousin's 2nd baby, and sports a lamb in the middle.
Lovely job on both, Jessie!

Happy Quilting!!
