We sure have fun

 

 

That's me, Beth, with my red log cabin quilt, just back from the long armer, Kathy B..  I used many donated fabrics (thanks Meliss!) for my large quilt. Kathy adorned my quilt with beautiful feathers. Still have to make the binding. Look for my quilt at the quilt show in July!

 

I certainly have been busy this winter. This quilt is one that I started quite a few years ago. I bought the pattern at Attic Heirlooms in Damariscotta which closed shop a long time back. The applique is done with wool and embellished with embroidery, both cotton floss and silk ribon. So much fun to work on this. Pattern by Norma Whaley and is called "Joy in the Morning". 

 

Our Tacoma president, Barbara Duffy, did a demo for this casserole carrier at our last meeting. She made one up and it is a big one. Is that a lobster casserole, Barb? I don't know how she finds any time to sew with all of her quilt-related duties! We can't say "thank you" often enough for all she does for the Pine Tree Quilt Guild and Maine Quilts!

 

 

 

More log cabin goodness. Sherry makes the prettiest quilts! Many of these fabrics were from our friend Kolleen who is sadly missed.

 

Hope is a new quilter but that doesn't mean she can't make beautiful quilts! Dresden Plate block . Hope says she learned that applique shrinks the quilt top!

 We always expect something interesting from Diane and today was no exception. Hand painted butterflies alternate with printed fabric. Yummy!

 

 

 

Both Leanne and Sandi had colorful "Iceberg" quilts from Villa Rosa Designs. Here's proof that this pattern can be made in so many different fabrics. 

 

 

Leanne (on the right" finished her "upta camp" quilt. We first saw it at our annual Summer picnic and now it is finished. So many interesting blocks to enjoy.

 

 Donna M. made this quilt from children's fabrics. The quilt is going to a 2 year old who is moving into a Big bed. No pattern, Donna just made it up with the fabric she had. 

 

 Andrea has a very good friend who sent her this tiny quilt. Lots of traditional blocks, hand quilted. A real treasure, that is for sure. Very dainty and so lovely. What a special gift!

 

 Andrea has made red and white log cabin blocks. Not sure what the plan is, but she is enjoying making the blocks. I'm sure we have all experienced that feeling. Keep at it, Andrea!

 

 

 

 

Janet with more of her table runners. Janet is known for her colorful bargello quilts. Here she has combined her love of bargello quilts with her passion for tablerunners. Perfect combination.

 

Carol T is ready for the next pot luck supper with her version of Barb's casserole cover. Nice to see these completed items from previous demonstrations. 

 

 Carol has been experimenting with machine quilting on this charming panel. Sure to delight a child.
