February Show and Tell & Wrist Pin Cushions

Where did the month go....here our regular meeting is tomorrow, and I am just getting to posting the pictures of our last months Show and Tell!
So many pretty quilts were brought in, and they will all look great hanging at our quilt show in October.

Barb is showing this lovely quilt, but I believe it is a UFO of Joann's.

This is a Jenny Beyer Quilt made by Barb V.

Barb V. shows "At the Lake".

"Daisies" is a creation of Terri's.

Joan is assembling these adorable Sun Bonnet Sue blocks for the family of a lady who has passed away.

National Quilting Day

To celebrate National Quilting Day, which is March 15, we have made quilts to be given to our local hospitals.  The quilts will be distributed to the baby born closest to National Quilting Day.  Deb and Maggie made a run to deliver the quilts to the hospitals today.  Thank you!  They were kind enough to take some photos of the quilts, seen below.  Thank you to Maggie B., Mary G. and Laurie S. for making this years quilts!  I am sure the babies that receive them will just be so warm and snugly!

 

How do you plan to spend National Quilting Day? 

 

February Retreat

It has been a long winter, but the retreat in February was a nice break.  We had many laughs, lots of yummy food, prizes, games, and lots of projects worked on, as you will see in the photos below.

Hard at work.

Sue with her bright scrappy top.  Doesn't it look like stained glass?

Carol worked very hard on not letting these place mats get the best of her!

Terri is one busy gal!  And quite organized with her projects, I might add.

Karen is really busy and organized too...what a sweet quilt this is!

You can see that a lot was accomplished!  If you haven't gone to one of the retreats, I think you might enjoy it!

Layers, Quarters and Charms

The Fat Quarter Shop has a simple pattern called Layer Cake Lemonade that would make a fast soldier quilt, graduation quilt or quick gift for baby.  They also have a video for it which is featured above.  The Fat Quarter Shop is also a great place to find those layer cakes you might need.  If you haven't used a layer cake before, it is a stack of 10" x 10" squares of fabric, very handy.

I also like this quilt made from charm packs and of course it is called Charm Pack Cherry.  It too has a video that you can access right at the site.  Don't underestimate the power and fun of a simple quilt pattern. Diana
