August 2018 Show & Share

The August meeting featured our annual De-Stash/Re-Stash sale, which was a great success – thank you to all members who participated! Apart from the shopping extravaganza, there were also a few items for show & share:

Susan made this colourful quilt-as-you-go baby quilt, using a method she calls “freedom piecing!”

Dawna has been doing a lot of sewing while out camping this summer, and showed us her adorable but totally functional little battery powered machine! She also has it rigged up to operate by solar power. It came from Canadian Tire, if you need one of these for your camping trips!

Dawna was commissioned to make this beautiful king-size quilt. We don’t think she pieced it on that little battery-powered machine…

Netta is preparing for a gift for a baby, gender TBA. This is the baby girl quilt – great geometric design! To cover the bases, the baby boy quilt will be coming next.
 

 Another sweet baby quilt, this one by Ann has a fun pinwheel-heart.

Vicky was the winner of the block lotto. Congratulations, Vicky! We’re looking forward to seeing a quilt made of these great blocks.

And last but not least, Faye won the door prize – a beautiful “Sparkling Stars” pattern, donated by Troll Brothers Quilt Designs.
