May Quilt Group 2014


Jan was the host for our Quilt Group this month.
We always love to go Jan's home to see what she is decorating or collecting.
She served a Yummy Yogurt Bar (forgot a picture).
Thanks Jan 

Jan started our Show and Tell with her
 "String Quilt"
Look how cut the pink and Yellow border matches the blocks.

A Quilt as you go runner.
She said it is easy enough for a  8 or 9 year old.


Jan finished this Fabulous Red and White Quilt
Love, Love Love it!


 Kathee's sewing this month has been getting prom dresses ready for her girls.
The Blue dress she made without a pattern WOW.  
The pink was modestly altered.

Donna is always good for a Yard Sale Deal.
We are  all obsessed with Chenille lately and
  Donna found a real bargain for $5.00.  Really?
Why does Donna always find all the deals?
Can't wait to see what she makes with this.

  

Another bathrobe with a pretty Chenille  design down the front.

Donna just picked up 3 quilts from the quilter.
#1. Donna helped her daughter with a quilt for new baby boy.
Awesome!

#2. Love a Scrappy Quilt.
Just 3 1/2 -4 in  squares.

#3. Another Scrappy Quilt from a Layer Cake.

Jan Shows Chenille she bought for pillows and other projects


Jan's Friend and neighbor LuAnn, brought this Jean Quilt made with a new technique.  No backing needed.


 Wrong sides together, 
Add a 3 1/4 in strip of fabric folded.
Top stitch of folded side.
Make a long strips. 
Sew long strips together the same way.
Another clever Jean Quilt from LuAnn

October Quilt Group (In November)2013

"Scrappy Ladies"
 because 
"Scraps R Us"




Vicki Started out our "Show and Tell" with this fabulous T-Shirt Quilt.
Made for her Husband.
She was able to use so many of his T-Shirts.
After explaining each Block we told her she needed to make a label for the back with a "Key" that explains each block.
 We all know that would be like making another quilt top.
This will be a real treasure.




Hedy always has great quilts to show us.
Love this baby quilt.




Hedy also made Christmas Stocking for a daughter.
Made up the pattern and just whipped these up.
Good Job Hedy!


Jan started the Quilty Fun Sew Along
Block #1


Jan has been working on a Alphabet Quilt.
Each Block is hand embroidered.
Each letter represents  something personal to her.
This is block #25   1 more to go!!!!


May Ann has been working on, for the lack of a better name
"JoAn's Dresden's"


So Colorful and Cheerful
Just in time for Christmas, Mary Ann finished quilting this quilt.






This didn't make it for this Halloween this year but maybe next.
Peg just had her "If the Shoe Fits" Quilted and was motivated  to put this together before  Halloween fabric  is put away for the year.




Even finish the back using bits and pieces.


Happened to have a picture of Peg's
"If the Shoe Fits"
Quilt.
Really Great Halloween Quilt
Quilted By Friend Gail.
