Workshop for Charity

Wednesday's meeting on Feb 21 was a workshop day, so there was no business meeting, only the mini raffle and a little Show and Tell. 

We all loved Ann's pieced bunny that she made for the Area 4 meeting in April. She used a pattern from Thomas Quilting called 'Little Bunny Cottontail'. Love the little eye!

And Leanne, who loves her paper piecing, made a gorgeous green and gold quilt using blocks from Carol Doak's online block of the month and blocks from Carol Doak's book, Sixty Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars. 

Wednesday's workshop was scheduled as a charity sew day. Ann conducted the workshop using a pattern from Villa Rosa Designs called 'The Lady', a jelly roll friendly pattern. It's a fast pattern to put together. 

Ann used batiks in oranges and golds for hers.

 

Several members worked on projects of their own. Meliss made her Lady quilt at home and brought it in to show us. She followed the basic pattern but made it her own by varying the widths of her strips and assembling vertical rows with no match points. Hers is all made from scraps in a controlled color scheme. 

Two other tops were completed during the workshop. I'm sorry that I forgot who the first person was, but this is SandiH's. She still has to add top and bottom border sections. Beautiful!

I'm looking forward to seeing how these quilts look in all the different color combinations I saw during the workshop.
