July Show and Tell

rise 'n shine

Eve painted wooden beads red to make the bottoms for this tote.

Watch for this sweatshirt at the fair.

Check out the awesome fabric collaboration on these magnifying glass quilts.

A quilt from leftovers, I believe.

Turning five?

Inverted pattern makes two matching quilts.

Another lovely golden dahlia from Blanche Young.

These bags are a clever way to use the chalkboard fabric they had at MSQC.

Brick road quilt, I believe. There is a tutorial for the nine-patch slice method of this quilt if you click "nine patch variation" at the bottom of this post.

Charity Quilt, etc. Retreat

Why is it that ironing is so much more pleasant when one is quilting?

We had fun at Janey's clubhouse last Saturday quilting away. The first picture is of one of the tops we finished, and in the bottom picture, Carol is working on the other top we finished. Some of the others worked on individual projects as well, and we all had a lovely time, especially with Carol's chocolate birthday cake and donuts. Yum! Hope the rest of her birthday was fun.

Charity Quilts

For tonight's meeting we made charity quilts out of orphan blocks and donated fabric. We put together some pinks and blues to make the following nine patches:

Then Janey showed us that you can simply measure your nine-patch, cut it in half vertically and horizontally, and you get the following varied squares that can make something similar to a yellow brick road quilt. I think this would be fun to experiment with lots of different colors!


Come back soon for a list of upcoming events and pictures from show and tell!
