Sharon Costedio was our guest workshop teacher at our last meeting. Sharon taught a workshop last October called "Kylee's Kite". Since that workshop was such a success, we invited her back for another session before she heads home to Florida. Originally from Brunswick, Sharon is a dynamic and patient teacher. This year she guided us in making a pineapple block using the Creative Grids pineapple ruler. At our next meeting, many Tacoma members brought in their pineapple blocks.
Barbara with her tablerunner.
Jean made a one block mat and a three block tablerunner.
Carol finished her cheery red tote bag and a Christmas panel quilt.
Ann T. finished two bumble bee print blocks.
Donna M. used some of her favorite blue scraps for her pineapple block.
Wow! Donna M. made this gorgeous quilt using an Edyta Sitar Laundry Basket Quilt pattern called "Alaska Rainbow".
Leanne made a drunkard's path variation for her Heather Kojan inspired quilt block. Leanne is making up many variations of Heather Kojan's Interweave block for a workshop Leanne is going to lead in May.
Meliss used one of her Aboriginal fabrics for the back of this quilt for her grandson...
...an eclipse quilt to commemorate that event last year. The pattern is a Miss Make Pattern Maker called Clava. I'm sure he will treasure this little quilt!
Kat with her bright and beautiful pineapples.
Leanne made a quilt for a friend whose husband died. The pattern is Maple Fluries by Judy Niemey of Quiltworx. Foundation piecing, of course. We all liked this one and what a treasure for her friend since she used the husbands shirts for this one.
Susan H. made this very green quilt. Simple and delightful.
Donna W. with her pineapple tablerunner. That lime green is one of Donna's favorites.
Diane J. used a quote from a Gerard Manley Hopkins to make this quilt while "brooding" over the environment. The nest is made of narrow strips of brown fabric knotted together. Very tactile.
Sue K. with her cheery pineapple block. How interesting to see how this block changes with the fabrics chosen.
Laurie brought in a number of pieces she has been working on. The first is a small desktop organizer.
Laurie with a Christmas tree made of scraps, her own design.
The Christmas tree really changes with the different fabrics Laurie used.
Our "group shot" of the many pineapple blocks we made.
Barb showed us a number of blocks she has been working on. This one uses the Star 60 ruler from Studio 180.
These candle mats use the Happy Holidays pattern from Atkinson Design.
Andrea made 80 red strip blocks to make this quilt for her granddaughter. Bright and beautiful!
