December 2012 Meeting


We received about three dozen quilts at the meeting on Monday night That was a nice surprise - I thought everyone would be doing Christmas preparations.

Two quilt tops were also turned in; These are always welcome; we will match them up to backings and put them into the pile to be finished at the guild Sew-In.

Please excuse the quality of the pictures - my camera was set on Closeups, but I wasn't that close up.






The quilt to the right is a simple Strippie made more interesting with the addition of appliqued worms and bugs over the seam lines.

This next one was made using our pattern Scrap Bag Pileup, from Nancy Brennan Daniel. You start it by making Nine Patches with random squares in the corners, the Cornerstone fabric in the center, and the Sashing fabric in the other four blocks. See one of us at the Baby Bundle table if you'd like a kit to try one of these. They can be addicting


The last two quilts that I pictures of seem to be kind of freeform - put some strips together and then start bordering.  The panel in the rightmost quilt is one of the fabrics from Cathy Heck.
