November Meeting

During the year some of the member participated in Cater Corner Quilt Along. Each month we received a small part of the quilt along. In November we were to bring back a finished top. Here a few of them. 

Dawn made extra pieces and made a large top. So pretty!!

Kathleen finished the center of the top. Such fun colors!!

Gaylene made extra pieces also. Such a cool arrangement!!

Here is Shannon's top. 

Shelia is making blocks for a quilt. So for the fussy dino.

Sheryl is working on a Civil War quilt that has MANY pieces. She keeps us up to date on her progress. Here are some of her blocks.

This quilt block made by Gaylene hung in a hospital for years in Rexburg Idaho. How impressive!!

October Meeting

So many great rows. I can't wait to show you!!

But until then here is a quilt that our youngest member, Hali, has finished. She embroidered each monkey face into each center. She then did all the piecing. Hali and a cousin did the tying. Then her mom did the binding. It is so large and fluffy!! Great job Hali!!

Rula made this quilt with some of her Halloween fabric. She loves Halloween!!

What a fun zig zag quilt!!

September Meeting

A bunch of fun show and tells this month. 

Karyli made this block. It is part of a quilt she is making for a friend.

What a cute baby blanket!!

Rula's son was on a mission for our church. He kept sending her boxes of ties. So she made this great quilt using some of those ties. You can see how she added to the middle a circle that shows where he served.

Sheryl made a quilt for her brother. He loves boats. He even owns one. She made this quilt with only blue and white.

I hope you can see the quilting. She drew starfish in the open spaces and the rope on the edge. She then used her home machine to quilt it. Her first time. She is now hooked.

June Meeting

We swapped 5 inch squares this month. Each member bought two fabrics 1 yard cut each. Then the fabric was cut into 5 inch squares then swapped around until each member had the same number of squares. What a great variety of colors. 

After doing quilts for Hope House the group has decided to do more donating. Over the early summer there were many opportunities to make and donate a quilt to fund raisers. A few of the members got together and came up with this easy fun pattern. Here is a close up of one of the quilts.

Here are a few of us posing with the quilt. 

A few show and tells. A fun table runner.

A very scrappy quilt top!

May Meeting

Karyli finished a quilt that she made by collecting blocks made for her from a block swap online. She had all the other blocks made with the same center fabric and then used it in the sashing. 

What a fun member show and tell.

Rula made the following three Christmas quilts. All using the same focus fabrics.

A, B, C's!!

Here is a cute quilt made a person checking out the group. Great job.

March Meeting

Glenda is becoming a great quilter. With help from us and classes that she has been taking she is doing great!!

Our youngest member made a shoulder bag.

2013 January

A new year and a new start. We have decided as a group this year we are going to work on row quilts. Here is an example of a row quilt. We will have each member make a row of 42 inches wide by any height. We will each have to follow a theme and use a fabric or more from the box plus add 1/4 of a yard of fabric that we used in our own row. That way as the rows are added there is similar fabrics being used. We hold off on showing the rows until the end of the year then each person will get their own post.

Here a few member quilt show and tells.

This one is from Dawn.

Look at her quilting, first try at stippling on her home machine. Great job.

Great colors.

Great lay out!

Gaylene finished her top from last year. She even has borders on it. 

Hope House

I thought I would add a few pictures of the quilts that PQA and our church took to the Hope House. We were able to take over 100 quilts and pillow cases. The kids treated us to a wonderful concert. We are all so blessed to be a part of it. 

December Meeting

During this month we were all given our boxes back with all of our blocks. Some of us were able to lay out the blocks to see what our quilts might look like when sewn together.
