2nd Tuesday of the month (June 10) at 10 am = CR quilters!
This time Marsha showed us how to make a Dresden Plate. She was wonderfully prepared and gave us a great lesson. You do need a special tool to make the right cutting easy. I got one now, ha-ha. With a coupon it was less then $5.
Marsha brought samples of what you can do.
BOM # 5
Show + tell !
Janet is almost finished with her wedding quilt. Well, "her" wedding is way before mine. She kept moaning that the bride wanted a red and yellow one but I think it is really stunning!
Becky brought two of her mother's quilts. This double wedding quilt is so special. I wished, I wished ...
She had made a quilt as a wedding gift too.
The back. I think she did the quilt-as-you-go technique.
Somebody is ahead with her Christmas gifts.
I wished I remembered the name of the lady reluctantly showing us these. It will be a gorgeous wall hanging. I love the color choices.
And a newcomer showed us the things she had started a long time ago.
Same day every month in the evening: church mice quilters. This time it was the yearly picnic at Bonnie's house.
But we did have a little bit of show+tell. This is jaw dropping!
And the hostess showed us her "invention" of a family tree quilt.
Front.
Back.
Well, and then every week on Thursdays I try to work at the Stitchers-for-a-cause.
Since it is always a potluck lunch I made scotch eggs to bring.
There is kind of a show+tell to. Sometimes we discuss projects. This is going to be a special quilt. It's going to be raffled for a special cause. The top is finished. Amazing was this person did with the fabric on hand.
Sometimes somebody shows us their "private" quilts.
This is my project I am working on. The three birds were donated (like all the fabric). I guess somebody decided paper piecing is not her thing. They were different sizes and a couple of weeks ago I did the panel. I should have taken a "before" picture.
This Thursday I added the trees. Have to think what to do next with it. And yes, the birds need eyes. I am pretty pleased so far.
Oh yes, I also finished this "Lace Chrismon" today. Its part of a special project for myself but that will be a different blog in the future.
I guess this blog is for my "textile friends" ... or is it "thread friends"?
I realized there is so much "lace talk" and "quilt talk" on my main blog which not everybody might enjoy. So ... the main blog will be "private stuff" like family and travel. It will take a while but I want to share my lace and quilt patterns with you. .......... I want to encourage you to leave a comment.I like to know what you think. Was something helpful? Do you have a different opinion?
