Our February meeting was last week and another full house and fun time it was! Scroll down for all the pictures from the meeting.
It’s just about time for a bigger room – more details on that next month!
 |
| Rima (L) and Donna (R), and lots of other folks too! |
In 2015 we are encouraging people to make the monthly block in colours of your choice to end up with a modern sampler quilt. Here are two examples (using the 2013-14 blocks) to get you started!
 |
| Stacie’s all solids, colour theory version. |
 |
| And Nicole’s scrappy version. |
What will your version look like?
 |
| The January “Circle of Friends” block lotto. |
And show and share! Our members (and guests) make lovely quilts.
 |
| Paula’s paper pieced runner. |
 |
| New member Bethany’s lap quilt for her very tall husband. |
 |
| Bonnie’s sewing group had a challenge to use a non-modern floral fabric and Bonnie wanted to see what she could do to make it modern. Well done Bonnie! |
 |
| Bonnie again with an HST quilt. |
 |
| Check out the quilting Bonnie did herself! |
 |
| Grace’s bed runner. |
 |
| And the reverse of the bed runner. |
 |
| Margaret had a challenging challenge from her sewing group: must have more than 300 pieces, and be miniature to boot. (We didn’t get a picture of the other mini she’s holding – sorry Margaret!) |
 |
This is the reverse of the above piece at original size.
Margaret kept shrinking it down! |
 |
| Nicole’s “ugly christmas sweater quilt” made with ugly xmas fabrics. |
 |
| And the most offensive, distasteful backing fabric possible! |
 |
| Laura with a nifty tote she made. Pattern is by Pat Dykes, available at Sawyer’s. |
 |
| Laura’s terrific quilt made with fabric that was a present from her daughter. |
 |
| A great quilting design. |
 |
| Chris S. showing a book tote she made. Chris made a few more, and we didn’t get a picture of the rest of them, but they looked a bit like this:
But more modern:
|
 |
| And a table topper for all the pouches, bags, and totes to rest on. |
 |
| Bryan’s excellent use of colour in this runner. |
 |
| Not a pieced back! but the inspiration for the colour pull. |
 |
| Netta’s quilt for her eight year old. She used a perler beads (melty beads) pattern book to come up with the pattern. |
 |
| Katherine’s randomly pieced quilt top, made so that her daughter could long-arm it. |
 |
| And the quilting, done by a 3.5 year old! |
 |
| Bev’s excellent use of plaid shirts. |
 |
| And the back. |
 |
| Another good use of shirts! |
 |
| And the back. |
Thanks everyone for sharing your lovely quilts with us. See you at the March 19th meeting!
