Our ladies have been very productive this past month. Today we had 6 quilters showing 14 quilts.
1. Gail Purnell ...
a. made two quilts to demonstrate the snowball block.
Here's another block to go into our challenge quilts
for the end of the year.
diagonally opposite to each other. See the Tips,
Techniques and Demos posting for the how to.
b. The second snowball quilt was made in black &
white. Notice the placement of the colours to highlight
the center of the quilt.
c. These next 3 quilts were made by an elderly friend
of Gail's with her scrap fabric. She was given the
quilt tops when they were completed. Many pieces
were sewn together by hand. Very little machine
stitching was done. Because of the hand stitching
Gail doesn't know quite what to do with them.
Does she finish them or leave them as is? It was
suggested that she document the quilt top as she
received it and then finish the quilt as she likes and
then document what and how she did it.
2. Judy Prince...a. Judy showed her Row by Row Experience quilt top.
There is an explanation written out in the meeting notes
for the Row by Row Experience. The theme this year is
water. Judy has just moved back to Cardston and back
to us at the guild. Welcome back Judy!
c. Chicken Crib Quilt. There are embroidery blocks in this quilt. Close-ups are below.
with photos of friends and family and also displays
friends' and family member's brands. The center
panel is full of action. This is truly an historical quilt.
3. Carla Van Bezooyen ...
a. This quilt is called Seasonal Housing. It was
a kit purchased from Village Quilts.
4. Gail Erickson ...
a. This delightful quilt made of soft colours is called
a Birth Announcement Quilt. All the details of
the birth are listed on the back along with a picture
of the little one. Gail even left a blank spot on the
extra large label that she will write in a message for
her newest granddaughter.
5. Judy Salmon ...
a. loved the quilt Sylvia Pankhurst showed last
month so she made two. Both quilts are for
beds in the same room. She calls this just a
Scrap Quilt.
b. Here is the second Scrap Quilt. Even though
the colours are different, the black frames make
the two quilts appear very similar.
6. Sue Litchfield ...
a. tells us that she's been working on this quilt a
very long time. I think it was well worth the
wait, don't you? The quilt is called Zinnia's
Garden, what a beauty! The applique and all
the quilting was done by hand. Sue has not
been a guild member for a few years -- we're
all glad to see her amongst us again.
Keep on Quilting!
