Productivity is Us!


Our last few classes that were taught have yielded many future gifts for families.  The Snappy Tote, taught by Julie, was a huge success and Pat and Martha brought more in to show.

The group is at it's best when people are inspired by other's work.  I was inspired by Loyce's gift to her friend that had a water theme, so I made this Tennessee Waltz quilt for my friend that bought a lake house.

Loyce was inspired by Shirley who recently turned out a few cheater quilts.  A cheater quilt is a printed fabric that looks like a pieced quilt and she made this autumn themed quilt.

Ruth and Natasha made this quilt for a woman that had a request for our group.  Her mother had made clothes and things for them when they were young and wanted them put together for her mom for Christmas.

Besides the friendships and support you get in a guild, the inspiration goes a long way to continuing your interest in quilting.  Always be on the look out for it, either as a challenge to your skill or as a way of getting ideas to finish things.





 Ginger is working on a lovely applique piece.


This is our focus in our guild, finish what you've started!
