March 2015 Club Meeting

We missed lots of members at the March meeting....several snowbirds still to return home.  In the meantime, we had a wonderful show and tell.

Arlene made a beautiful quilt with the jewel box pattern.  She has a wonderful way of mixing fabrics, it comes so natural for her.

and here is the back. I hope you can see the detail of her hand quilting,  just beautiful!

This is a second jewel box quilt by Arlene; she made very good use of our winter season

with more hand quilting........................I missed getting a picture of the back.

Arlene's sunshine and shadows log cabin quilt

also hand quilted................

Arlene's family is so blessed to be receiving all her hand-quilted treasures.



Now, here Susie is showing off a sweet little rag quilt. It is a pretty varigated fleece.  The girls called it sherbet, perfect for it's spring-like appeal.

and here is the back.......................................

Lesa shared a delightful demo of techniques for the 'fold and sew quick and easy blocks'.  She also provided a handout illustrating all the blocks.  It truly looks quick and easy and will be a great method for maintaining those low-stress days.

here is a great example using the fold and sew technique.  This little quilt frames colorful embroidery blocks suitable for a child's quilt.

That's it.  We're looking forward to seeing the rest of our members coming home from their warm winter homes soon!  We missed you.
