We had another great meeting last week! Our first garage sale was quite a success and the show and share quilts are always inspiring. Thanks to everyone who came.
A quick note from Rita, our photographer this month: “Sorry about the red eyes everyone”. Maybe we were up too late quilting and that’s why we all have red eyes?
 |
| Lois made this in the quilt as you go style. |
 |
| Natalie reworked her blocks from the Cheryl Arkison “Improv with Intent” workshop into a table runner for her mum. |
 |
| Terri S. quilted this for a friend and had troubles with wobbly borders. Nice fix! And the back was modern and very pretty. |
 |
| Diane B. is teaching this wonky star runner as a workshop at Capital Iron. |
 |
| Sharon V put this together at the Cheryl Arkison “Values Plus” workshop, sticking to different values of the same colour….and hated it! |
 |
| So she tried again, this time with different colours in each pair….and loved it! Notice too that this one is finished and bound and the other one is just a top? |
 |
| Mary made these placemats in quilt as you go style and swears she’ll never do any other way now. |
 |
| And Mary with a quilt as you go quilt! Each block is quilted in a different style. |
 |
| Susan’s top from Cheryl’s “Value Plus” work shop. |
 |
| We think this is Rhonda hiding behind her fabulous zigzag. |
 |
| Nancy L. made a bag with the charms from last month’s swap. Did you know that Nancy is brand new to quilting? |
 |
| Judy L made the very cool travel pin cushion from Krista’s book “Make it Take it”. Judy said that she found over 60 needles in her old pincushion! Here is a better picture of what the new one looks like:

| Sarah and this cool quilt. |

| Back of quilt. |
 |
| Dawna made these two bags as well. |
Of all the quilts Dawna and Sarah showed last month for the Alzheimer’s fundraiser, they raised over $1600! Well done Dawna and Sarah!
 |
| Dawna and a sweet baby quilt. |
 |
| Jeanne with her fourth and final fancy fox pattern. LOVE LOVE LOVE the striped binding on this one. |
 |
| And the back. |
 |
| Stacie’s finished 2013-14 block lotto sampler quilt! |
 |
| Stacie wove this using a Kona honeybun roll (the strips are 1.5″ wide). |
 |
| Quilted with glitter thread! |
 |
| The back of the woven quilt. |
 |
| Lana made this and loved having her first ever design wall to try layouts! |
 |
| A close up of the quilting. Lana did all the curves with her walking foot. |
 |
| Netta made this quilt for her father-in-law and it was returned to her in October when he died. If you look closely you’ll see that every border is done in a different FMQ style. Netta’s got some made quilting skills! |
 |
| Barbara’s finished runner, started in the Krista workshop “Improv under the Influence” |
 |
| Sorting out the charms for the charm swap (low volume this month). |
 |
| Lisa D works hard to get us door prizes – thank you Lisa! And a bigger thank you to all the store owners and people who contribute prizes. |
 |
| Some of this month’s bounty! |
 |
| We work hard to co-ordinate prizes with the winner’s outfit! |
And then it was garage sale time!
Thank you everyone! See you on December 17th for our annual Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice social. Details of this year’s swap are under the Challenges/Swaps tab.
