May Update

 

 

Hello Everyone!

 We have had a couple of busy months in our guild.  Members have been working on their own projects as well as taking part in a couple of group ones.  We made three comfort quilts for fellow guild members. We also made eight quilts for the Humboldt Broncs Hockey Team comfort quilt drive. Our group projects always work out well with everyone taking part whether it be to cut, piece, press, quilt or deliver.

Round Robin

 



Lori Suss challenged us to a Round Robin earlier this year.  Six members signed up. We were each instructed to create a 12" block to be used as the centre of our quilt and bring it back to the group along with any scraps, fat quarters, etc., that co-ordinated with our block. The blocks were
 to make three rounds to different participants with each adding their own special touch.  It was an exciting day when we received our rounds back. They all turned out beautiful, ready for us to quilt and bind. I have included photos of each of the rounds.

I think you will agree that the Round Robin was a success. Now to get busy and get them quilted and brought back for their final viewing. Hmm.... sometimes the quilting is the hardest part.

Before signing off |I would like to share some more projects our members have completed....

 

 

From the Bench................

 

 

 





Karen's quilt is gorgeous! I am always amazed at her colour choices and fine workmanship.

 

 



This beauty's maker is a mystery to me. It is lovely isn't it.

 

 

 

Sherry K did a fine job of creating and quilting this quilt.

 This was her first time on the longarm.

 

 

 

 

Sylvia continues to amaze us with her talents. The photo doesn't do the quilt justice.

It is beautiful.

 

 

 

 

Sherry had finished this quilt when we did out leaf row project last year. This is an updated photo showing the borders that were carefully added by her and quilted by Lori after the original quilt had already been quilted.  It turned out amazing and will surely fit her bed better now.

 

 



 



 Debbie created this sweet little farm quilt for a lucky little fellow. 

Karen made this fun little snowman quilt.

 

 

I made this Seminole bag.  I got the pattern from Susan and

will think of her when I use it.

 

 

This is a very special wall hanging made by Bev P.  Last year a friend

of hers hatched a monarch butterfly. Bev created this little quilt from a photo

of the butterfly. It is a masterpiece! 

 

 

 

That's all for now folks, till the next time.......
