SHOW & SHINE -- 09 Nov 2015

With an expanded Quilt Guild enrollment this year, our quilt production has necessarily increased.  Add to this, our efforts to create 60 Wheelchair Quilts for donation to the Cardston Hospital Auxiliary and Lee Crest Seniors Home, results in a long list of quilters and greater number of quilts.
 
Prepare to be impressed!
 
We have 16 quilters that created 39 projects.
 
1.  Kristy Stewart
     a.  Pot Holders
     b.  Coasters.  Kristy holds both projects up with a pile of reproductions on the table.

2.  Helen Wilde ...
     a.  Wheelchair Quilt #1

     b.  Wheelchair Quilt #2

     c.  Wheelchair Quilt #3

     d.  Wheelchair Quilt #4 wasn't held out long enough for me to get a photo.
 
3.  Judy Salmon
     a.  This was a fabric panel which Judy whipped-up.

     b.  Judy's October Sew Day Project completed.  Cute.

     c.  Computer Bag in Purples.  Very nice.

     d.  Calendar block for November.  Judy designed this block herself.  Everyone was delighted with the end result.



     e. & f.  Wheelchair Quilts #1 and #2.  These weren't shown. 

4.  Heidi Sharp
     a.  Heidi will be away next month so she brought this quilt which isn't quite finished.  There is a close-up of the quilting for each block.  Heidi, you're getting very good at machine quilting.

     b.  This quilt was a gift for her daughter for last Christmas.  It's finished this Christmas.  The quilt was cross-stitched by a friend and machine quilted by by Heidi.

 
5.  Gail Erickson ...
     a.  Gail likes to have baby quilts on hand all the time.  I think she said that this is the last for the time-being.  They're all so delicious.

 6.  Raeola Baker ...
     a.  Wedding quilt made with letters of vinyl. This was a kit quilt from Village Quilts.

     b.  This quilt was made with assistance from the great people at Village Quilts.

 
7.  Ruby Quinton ...
     a.  Ruby makes such wonderful quilts.  This is a Disappearing 4-patch pattern.

 
8.  Sharon Pitcher ...
     a.  I believe this is the first completed quilt Sharon has shown.  It's unusual construction appealed to Sharon.  It makes both sides of the quilt at the same time and only takes 2 jelly rolls to complete.  I believe the quilt name is Mile-a-Minute quilt.

9.  Lisa Comin ...
     a.  loves to make wall hangings because of how quickly they make up.  She's all about the colours.

     b.  Lisa has made a shaded dark to light vertical Chevrons wall hanging. 

     c.  This is her version of the Fall Pumpkin Sew Day project made as a wall hanging.

 
10.  Dianne Oertli ...
     a.  I've been waiting to see this quilt, Dianne, ever since I saw you working on it at one of our sew days.  It's gorgeous, and I'm not saying that just because I love green.  The design is called French Braid.

     b.  The fabric in this single-bed quilt is very special.  It is fabric purchased in Alaska while Dianne was on a cruise. Her great granddaughter should be pleased.

11.  Judy Prince ...
      a. loves to work in wool.  This Applique Cornucopia is wonderful.  The wool makes everything look so rich.

      b. Judy made the next two Wheelchair quilts using the demo block for this month.  Sylvia is holding up these samples.  10 Minute Block

      c.  This is a shorter version for a lady.  They both have pockets.

      d.  Judy is showing her reversible Nativity quilt below.  She has been collecting Nativity fabric for a long time.  She still has plenty left for making more gorgeous quilts.  The back of the quilt is a completely different design so that this quilt can be reversed.



     e.  This is another quilt Judy brought to show our meeting demo 10 Minute blocks.



    

       f.  Judy made this lovely quilt by cutting up a fabric panel and adding frames, pieces between the blocks and some poinsettia applique.

12.  Gail Purnell ...
      a.  This scrumptious quilt is made with a pattern called Love Knots.  Very impressive, great colours and wonderfully made.

 
13.  Betty Trudeau ...
       a.  completed this project given to her by Donna Prince, at least that is what I understood.  Log Cabin

       b.  Betty's pumpkin table runner from the Oct Sew Day pattern.  It's so interesting to see everyone's version of this project.

       c.  Betty made an additional Pumpkin Sew Day project but again added her own twist for Halloween by adding the face.  The fabric that you've used for the border is adorable.

 
14.  Sharon Quinton ...
       a.  agreed to bring this wall hanging to show someone at the meeting.  We made her show it but she didn't want to show it for very long.  I think, even with the blurring, you can see the design.

      
     b.  This Hexagon Table Topper was begun at one of the Sew Days last year.  It was worth the wait.  It is made perfectly with a great design!

 
15.  Sheila Kimberley ...
       a.  never wants to show her work. When she brought her Wheelchair Quilt to explain how she made the self-bound edge, I took a picture. 

       b.  Wheelchair Quilt she didn't show at Show & Shine.  I'll try to get a picture in December.

16.  Donna Prince ...
       a.  decided to make her two Wheelchair Quilts with the blocks used in the Raw Edge Scrappy Quilt.  We have this pattern on the blog.

       b.  Her second Wheelchair quilt is longer for use by the gentlemen. It is also made with the Raw Edge Scrappy Quilt.

Keep on Quilting!
