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.

August Show n Tell

I'm just going to post a little over half of this months show and tell now. Check back soon for the rest! Feel free to leave comments about your quilt so visitors can learn more about them if you like. Thanks!

Above is our block of the month quilt this year, a Christmas sampler quilt.

The previous two pictures represent a reversible runner which was Christmas on the front and Halloween on the back.

This sleigh ride panel above is embroidered.

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!
