Christmas in July! Quilts! Food! and Bingo!!

Our Christmas in July party was a lot of fun.  Cece and Carol did another spectacular job, as they have done over many years.  This year's Show and tell became a good lesson for learning about fabric selection and borders.  The variety of looks on our mystery quilts and the friendship square exchange quilts was amazing and beautiful.

THANK YOU CAROL AND CECE!!
This show and tell was a nice way to see fabric choices and colors and how they float in a quilt.  It's also a good analysis of the use of borders.

It was so nice to see everybody

The holidays are over and we get to go back to our routine.  The new church is being built right beside us and the progress is moving right along.

We had a fun day of catching up and planning our UFO's.  We have 5 birthdays in the month of January so Marie made a crazy quilt birthday quilt for us.

Some of our members have been very busy bees over the month or so we've been apart and it was nice of them to bring their projects to inspire the rest of us.












Next week we are planning our 6 months schedule so bring any and all ideas for our brainstorming session.

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!
