July 2015

We met at Mary's house where paintings from Obie's Aunt Kathy Barieau were on display for viewing and selection.

Three new challenge tops were done and we had a discussion on borders with the conclusion to stick to the instructions which give a range for border size.

Arleen and Marty brought work done in an EBHQ class on marbling.  Arleen had already cut and pieced her fabric into a quilt top!

Arleen's marbled fabric quilt

Marty had two other samples








Arleen had also quilted and bound her wool quilt which is entered into PIQF.  Check out the binding and see if you can tell why the Force is with her!












Betsy had been working with half square triangle quilts and has a baby quilt (auditioning the turquoise border)


a "nose to toes" quilt,


and Big Blue, a queen sized quilt.


Marty brought a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt that she hand quilted.  The quilt top was one her mother had and the setting is the Garden Path.
Here is a detail of the hand quilting.

Mary has been quilting the baby quilts and is now binding one that has lovely circles quilted into the border.
