Welcome Friends

 Lots of quilts for Show and Tell at our September meeting.

 

 

Barbara finished making "P.S.I Love You" recently. It was a project at Tacoma some time ago.

Barbara with her candy corn. Just in time for the fall season.

This "Iceberg" quilt was our charity quilt pattern for the past year. 

Kathy told us a charming story about making her grandson's baby quilt. He's off to college now and wanted to bring along some comfort from home. This is the baby quilt adapted to fit a sweatshirt. Pretty amazing!

Meliss was inspired by Janet's Amish inspired quilts. Beautiful!

Leanne made this kitty piece with SweetPea Embroidery In the Hoop Designs.

Diane was inspired to make a comic book inspired quilt with a poem stitched on the blocks, too. 

Jean's tablerunner is called "Blueberries". Perfect! 

 And she  followed Bonnie Hunter's Leader and Ender quilt instructions for this scrappy quilt, Black, White, and Bright." The quilt on the right is from Bonnie Hunter's Potato Chip block instructions. 

Kathy made her red quilt and her blue quilt using her favorite scrappy blocks.

 

 

Donna made a beautiful basket in her favorite colors, from Shabby Fabrics.The pattern is Stained Glass which Donna said is a good pattern for panels.

Ramona's granddaughter picked out this unicorn panels and designed the border

Sadly, Ramona's dog dies this summer but Ramona memorialized his life with this quilt using blocks from King's Treasures of Lisbon. 

 

We are still collecting quilts for charity. Betty finished her green "Iceberg" this summer. 

Sherry made her beautiful red quilt using a Crabapple Hill design.The pattern is "Sleighbells".

Leanne monitored a class by Heather Kojan at Maine Quilts and was so inspired she went home and made this "Interleave" pattern that Heather had been teaching. There was quite a bit of interest in learning this technique among our Tacoma members. 

My little wallhanging uses rubber stamps and Inktense sticks to create this ode to summer. Very fun to make and I hope to demonstrate at a later date.
