Show and Tell February 13, 2024

 Show and Tell followed the monthly meeting.

Jackie J. showed completed Attic Window projects, made from a panel. So nice to have matching throw pillows.

Gail R. has been working on the panel she cut during the workshop. She plans to hang her Attic Window project on the wall of a room currently without a window.

Ethel R. made pillowcases out of lovely cardinal fabric. She also presented a raw edge Hunter's Star project.

Vera T. showed this sweet Valentine's project made in 2010.

Brenda S. showed a quilt made from 2 1/2 inch strips, it was quilted on a longarm.

The Rose quilt was made from a free pattern, Pixelated Rose by Riley Blake Design. she told us it is made up of 1194, 2 1/2 inch squares, and the quilting was 250,000 stitches. We also took notice of Brenda's bag made from sunflower fabric.

Agathe K. brought along a lovely quilt with Fireside backing.

Her second project is made from bright coloured scraps, and just look at that backing.

Diane B. displayed her baby quilt.

She followed with a lovely Chandelier Quilt. Often presenters are asked to show the back of the project too.

Judy H. has been making tiny quilts again and even has room for a label on the back. 

Jane K. finished a Hardanger project that was tucked into a book . Books were brought in by Gail F. to be given away. Jane is skilled at Hardanger so how appropriate that she found this work in progress.

She also made a thermal table runner.

Susan S. finished her panel project. She kept the border intact because it was directional and built the centre to fit.

She showed this quilt as well. We learned that Susan does her hand quilting on a hoop.

Agathe K. was gifted an assortment of fat quarters to celebrate a special birthday.

Some examples of the Guild Trade Blocks were shown. So very sorry that I missed getting pictures of Jean T.'s blocks that were shown during the meeting.

Helen S. gave us lots of usable information on the best use of batiks, large prints and fussy cut fabrics. She also had words of wisdom about honoring copywrite laws. She brought along finished objects (FO's), works in progress (WIP's), and unfinished objects (UFO's). She even had information on rug hooking.
