SHOW & SHINE -- 13 Apr 2015

15 Quilt Projects produced by 11 Quilters.  (18 projects if you count Gail's candle mats individually.)  Great quilting ladies!

1.  Dawn Collins
     a.  Card Trick Block Baby quilt for an outdoorsy family.  The quilt is
          made out of flannel.  The border print is available from Imagination
          Unlimited right here in Cardston.   Isn't it gorgeous? 

      b.  Class Scrappy Quilt made with 2 extra rows (or 10 more blocks)
           out of nothing but scrap fabric. 
           With the 3 1/2" border the quilt is large enough to fit a Double bed
           but she's going to use it to cuddle up on the couch. 
           The class was taught by Judy Barnett.

2.  Dianne Oertli
     a.  Class Scrappy Quilt made with original block count.  Dianne used
          sashing and put a small border and then used a double binding to
          add the tiny band of colour between border and binding. 
          Dianne is using this as a table topper.

3.  Betty Trudeau
     a.  Class Scrappy Quilt made with original block count (25) and construction
          -- no sashing.  Betty used Christmas fabrics and made a double binding
          in red and white. 
          What a difference fabric choice makes!  Dawn, Dianne and Betty all
          participated in the same Judy Barnett class.

4.  Helen Wilde
     a.  Single Wedding Ring Block.  As usual, this quilt is
          exquisitely made with wonderful colour choices. 
          You amaze me Helen! 

5.  Gail Erickson
     a.  Candle mats for each month of the year.  Gail has brought 4 of the 12. 

          This is a BIG change from your King Size Quilts. Wow!

6.  Sylvia Pankhurst
     a.  The quilt is called Loose Change.  There is a special L-shaped ruler
          which measures for a perfect block.  Sylvia got some of her fabrics
          at Coulee Quilts in Cut Bank, MT.  Many of the ladies didn't realize
          there was a quilt store in Cut Bank.  This is good to know.

 

7.  Suzan Clark
     a.  Suzan is always bringing us unique projects. 
          Take a look at this month's retinue.  She calls this her "tuffet". 
          You did a wonderful job!

      b.  This is Suzan's "It's a Wrap" bag.  She wasn't going to show us this
            project but we weren't going to let her get away with that were we
            ladies?  The bag is made by wrapping fabric around cotton cording
            made for clothes lines and then sewing each round to the next.

8.  Rita Holt  
     a.  This hand-quilted pastel beauty took Rita 2 months to complete
          the quilting.  We didn't ask how long it took to piece it together.  
          It is gorgeous! 

9.  Raeola Baker
     a.  This quilt was created in a class taught at Village Quilts in Lethbridge. 
          The flowers are appliqued onto the blocks. This is beautifully made. 

      b.  Raeola wasn't going to waste one little bit of the fabric from the
           Flower Quilt above.  She used leftovers to create this
           Coin Toss Baby Quilt.  Nice idea Raeola.  Cute quilt!

      c.  I believe this quilt was made from a kit.  Raeola tried a lipstick border
           just before putting on her binding.  She made it a bit too wide --   
           it covers the stars in the corners.  A lesson learned.  Whatever way you
           look -- lipstick border or not -- this quilt is just adorable.

10.  Judy Salmon 
       a.  This is the Round Robin quilt top that Judy won in March's draw. 
            She's completed the quilt already and, of course, she had to bring
            it in to show all of us, and brag a little.  Frankly, if she didn't bring
            it in I think the guild would have shown up on your doorstep. 
            Thanks Judy.

11.  Sheila Kimberley
       a.  Disappearing 4 patch.  What gorgeous colours and wonderful
            construction!  Sheila did all the machine quilting on her own sewing
            machine.  Note:  Her machine has a longer throat (neck?), than the
            typical sewing machine -- a saving grace when quilting a quilt this big.
            By the way ladies, Sheila, our Secretary, belongs to the Magrath
            Quilt Guild too.  Now that's dedication.
