August Show and Tell

We had a very small turn out for our August meeting.

 

 Only Linda had new projects to share with the group.  

She made a number of totes for the Habitat for Humanity Buy It Now Booth at fall's silent auction.

All the bags had jeans pockets on the back side.

Linda also made a denim apron with a cute squirrel applique. 

July Show and Tell

 There was no topic for July.  Members shared projects they have been working on.

Tam made this colorful scrap quilt for the Habitat for Humanity Auction this fall.   Tam drew up the pattern after seeing another quilt with similar log cabin blocks.

Mary made this tote bag a niece who is a hospice nurse.

Mary made this wall quilt for a new great niece.  The quilt was designed to coordinate with a flower of the month cross stitch made by the baby's great grandmother.  The flowers are grandmother's garden pattern, and the fabrics are reproduction 30's fabric.

Mary made the following hot pads for the Habitat for Humanity Buy It Now Booth. 

These are the African fabric scraps Kathy is using on a paper pieced quilt.

This is Kathy's colorful quilt in progress.

He had some technical help from Grandma.

June Show and Tell

 Sue brought a number of projects to share with the group.  Sue used donated blocks to make this table runner.  It was her first experience working with a flange binding.

Sue hand embroidered the blocks in this table runner and used crayons to color the pictures.  The designs are Sue's creation. 

This is Sue's May Challenge fabric.

She used the fabric in this framed picture of flowers and bees.

Nancy used paste paper to make this box and the book inside.

Below are some photos of other paper paste projects that Nancy has created.

Tam used a strip set to make "Be your own Kind of Beautiful".  It was based on a book by Ricky Tims.

Tam brought in some of her father's drawings.  He used them for engraving firearms.
