We met at Deanna's house this month. Marty, Mary, Joan, Mindy and Betsy were there. Deanna made a delicious cake with fresh strawberries for our refreshment! Next meeting at Bobbie's place.
Deanna was kind enough to take photos of what we showed and to help me remember whose quilts were whose. Thanks Deanna.
Marty showed how she had lined this shirt/jacket so that it was more suitable for cooler weather. A most impressive job! Even the sleeves are lined!
She had also taken some blocks that had been brought to drop-in and sized them, added one to make things even, and put on a beautiful border to create this wonderful quilt which she said she will donate back to EBHQ.
Deanna has a community quilt she is quilting, showing lovely detail.
Mindy continues to work on her English Paper Piecing with really tiny pieces to add more flowers and leaves to her trellis project.
Mindy is also rescuing this old quilt top, trying to repair where it has holes, and preserve it for the future.
Mindy is also piecing a top for the community quilt project.
Betsy decided to give English Paper Piecing another try and it seems to be going better this time. Here is what she had completed so far.
Betsy also completed this queen size lone star which will be quilted with feather wreaths in the light blue squares by Melissa Quilter if all goes well. It will be a summer quilt for Betsy.
Betsy also used up stash fabrics to create "Zebra Crossing"--a lap sized quilt.
Mary showed a cute baby quilt with wonderful quilting of giraffes, an owl (Betsy's favorite, of course), monkey, etc.
Mary also showed a piece made from parts created a while ago and now combined into this lovely wall hanging. Quilting in progress.
Joan has new living room furniture which, of course, demanded a new quilt in the lovely blues and green tones to coordinate. This quilt was completed with a pillowcase edge, turned right side out, then quilted, and the open edge closed.
Joan also brought had a quilt top made from fabrics from long ago. Each block appears to be set on point, but that look is achieved by sewing triangular shapes to each side of the floral square print.
