Arlene owns a bundle of traditional quilts, all designed, pieced and mostly hand quilted by her. We got a close-up view of these quilts which included prairie points.
She also passed around samples of prairie points 'in-progress'. This example shows how you might alternate points in two layers without having to insert them into each other. I really like this effect.
Show and Tell
Our show and tell program was amazing. Arlene creates very large bed quilts. She shared several with us tonite. This first one was part of the prairie point demonstration. If it would be possible to narrow down my choices, this autumn quilt is one of my favorites.
This is a Scottie dog quilt. Arlene said every block was embroidered by hand!
This quilt has lots of open space. She said she loves to use a continuous line quilting stencil for her hand quilting tasks.
Jan M. made this Christmas Twister quilt for her holiday decorating.
This is a very special memory quilt made by Jen M. The appliques and other details are made from clothings and special items meaningful to the intended recipient. Up close, it is another gorgeous piece, by Jen.
This special bag was made by Valerie. It began with a quiltsmart interfacing pattern.
Charity Sewing
This beautiful Quilt of Valor was made by Jan M. She is donating it to be given to a special veteran in our community. Thank you, Jan. Our veterans are most deserving!
