From our February Guild Show and Share

We had a great show and share last night (as usual). Here are just two of the ones that brought oohs and ahhs from the members. Hope more of you post as my pics came out too dark in my camera. Look forward to seeing them and learning more about them!

This one is Jeri's Batik Charm exchange. Love the background fabric - makes those square pop!

Second one is Bonnie's. Just lovely!

This blog is a terrific idea. Thank you, Angie!!! There's always at least one fantastic quilt every month that I wish I could remember!! I can't wait to see more. I'll post one soon.

Pineapple Star Paper piece


This is my first attempt at paper piecing, and so far it has been my last.
When I finished this quilt I then realized that I had no where to display it. So I sold it to a friend of mine who wanted it.
I was able to learn a new technique, and use colors that I really don't have a use for in my home and be with ladies of like minds and get money back in the end.
Sounds like a win win situation to me. It was all good.

Baby Quilt for Ethan

Hi, I'm off to a baby shower this afternoon and wanted to share the baby quilt I made for Ethan since I won't be able to show it on the 16th. This is a six hour quilt made using one block (Gentleman's Fancy) as the design - I just made the sections 6" with 3 " borders. It comes out to 36" square. This time I used a timer and found that yes, it was under six hours (just barely) to make it. I personalized the middle square with writing. Hope you are staying warm and dry during this much needed rain.
