For our June meeting our guest speaker/trunk show was the incredible Karlee Porter. She lives in Utah and we’re in Victoria so we used the fabulous technology available to us to see her quilts.

This is Karlee on our screen. Her background is a painted version of one of her quilts. |

The current block lotto, due back at the August meeting. |
And then it was time for show and share! Always popular, always amazing.

Kelly took the quilt as you go workshop with Marianne in March. Gorgeous fabrics, gorgeous quilt. |

Linda from Satin Moon offered up hundreds of squares and blocks of batiks to be made into a quilt to send to Fort MacMurray. Netta, assisted by Daria and Kathryn, made this super size quilt in just ONE month. It has since been delivered to Fort Mac. Thank you Linda, Netta, Daria, and Kathryn! |

Netta used some interior design fabric gifted from a family member for the backing. |

Jay finished this quilt with blocks she received from a swap. |

Barbara’s snowmen quilt and we loved what she said about it: “It’s not modern, but it’s done, and now I can make the modern quilts.” Hurray for finishing it and hurray for modern quilts! |
