November Sharing

Judy L. showed us the Halloween "redwork" embroidery piece that she has completed. Instead of the usual red thread, Judy chose a bright orange floss. She is also holding the booklet that she got the design from. The title is Happiness and Cheer: Redwork through the Year. 

 

Carol made this lap quilt in modern gray and white neutrals. From Amy Smart, Diary of a Quilter. 

Diane was thinking about the Mariner's Compass quilt block that is our theme challenge for Maine Quilts 2024-Mariner's Compass: All Points Lead to Maine. She thought she would want to make the compass using paper piecing, so she had better learn how. This lovely bird quilt, called Back Yard Birds by Jodie Davis, is her dive into paper piecing. I don't thing she will have any trouble, do you? Fantastic, Diane!

Coconut Chips quilt pattern from Madison Cottage Design, introduced to Tacoma by Donna M. has been quite a success with our quilters. Jean made this one for charity. 

Meliss has been stitching up these darling mini-quilts. Traditional blocks, all half square triangles. 

Taking a break from the minis, Meliss made this quilt of her own design. Is it an explosion of colors or an implosion? Beautiful, no matter what you call it. 

Sue K made her quilt using jelly roll fabrics and a free pattern from The Fabric Garden. (RST)2 is the pattern. 

Sandy H. is quite pleased with her "Gem Bag" by Bethany Miller. Looks like that bag can hold a lot of quilting supplies. 

Another Coconut Chips quilt! Isn't it wonderful how different this pattern looks in different colors? A beautiful November quilt to snuggle under. 

The prolific Leanne created this stunning quilt. The pattern is San Julian from Villa Rosa Designs. Simple pattern but the fabrics gives it that "wow factor."

I made this mini quilt from a solid blue and a white fabric. Just simple nine patch, it was fun to make. It is ready to hang on the door of my quilting room. 

Sherry is in the Christmas spirit with these little ornaments. So sweet!

Sandy looks very enthusiastic about these little baskets that Donna M. is going to teach us how to make at our December meeting. I want to make one, too!

See that block that Elly is stitching? Looks simple, doesn't it? Experienced sewers like Elly, know that no, it is not so simple, but yes, once you know how, it really is easy. Partial seams, anyone? 

We are grateful to all our members who show their quilts and share their talents with us.
