March 2014 Meeting

 
This month's meeting was a look back at quilts from the past.  Several ladies signed up to share a quilt or two that came down from their family or that meant something to them.  It was a great program and we are looking forward to seeing more legacy quilts in the future. 
 
Here's a quilt that Deanna's Mother worked on...

This was not a family quilt but Sharon S liked it and just had to have it.

 
This was a gift from someone that knew Sharon would take care of the quilt.

 
 
Here's a picture of the Heart Pillows being delivered to the American Cancer Society.  Lots of bags means lots of heart pillows!  Thanks for all of your efforts, I know these are very much appreciated!
 
 
 
 
Now for some show and tell from our members.

March Meeting

We had two guests from the American Cancer Society talk to us about the organization. One of these lovely ladies works with Glenda. They were very excited to get our pillows, the little hearts of hope and the hats.  I think we ended up with 127 heart pillows....
 
 

 
I did the program this month on the Disappearing 4 patch quilt and the Disappearing 9 patch quilts. These are fun and easy to do and use up alot of scraps...


This is one way to set the disappearing 9 patch blocks.



 
Another setting for the disappearing 9 patch blocks. 

 
 
Now for some show and tell from our members...
 
Jackie made this Blooming 9 Patch quilt as a birthday gift for one of her daughters.
 

 
Deanna made this one. I love the chili pepper border on this chili cook-off T shirt quilt.

Deanna's Pokie Little Puppy Quilt.  So adorable!

This one is from Judy B.

 
Another one from Judy B.


 
 
Omigosh from Joyce

 
Miniature Omigosh...Joyce, measure twice, cut once but be sure all the numbers are on your measuring tape!  I loved her story and the quilts look great too.


 
This is going to be a Block of the Month from Thomas Sewing Center.

 
This is Helen's Fan Stack and Whack.  Beautiful!


 
Annalee's Political Tshirt quilt. The borders were great on this one..




 
This is Sandy's beautiful black, white and red quilt...


 
Linda B made this beauty.

 


 
 
 
Martha is working on this one this year. Just Takes Two for 2013 






 

 
 
 
This is for Sally's great grandchild...I've always heard her say, "this ain't my first rodeo" so this is very appropriate for this new baby. Congrats, Sally!



 
A quilt for the baby.


 
Gotta have a pillow to go with the quilt.

 
 
I made this pink brick scrap quilt after seeing Sharon's quilt.

Hey, look at this!  This is so easy to make. It looks good with scraps or monochromatic. 
3 1/2" X 6 1/2" bricks and 3 1/2" squares.  That's all there is to it...Easy, peasy.



Here's my 3D Bowtie Quilt. Not pretty but will be useful.

 
My Michigan Garden Quilt. This was a Thimbleberries pattern from several years ago. It's been hanging in my closet for several years and just got quilted. I love it.

 
Well, ladies, another great meeting and lots of great projects were shown. Please come see us next month and bring your show and tell too. We want to see what you are working on. Til next time, happy stitching.
