OCTOBER 2021

 We have had both of our October meetings, so I should get busy and post this before I get months behind!

Not a whole lot of show and tell, but some of the group has been producing!

This first picture is of Velmas's Christmas hotpads.  They are gorgeous, and would be a addition to a Christmas dining table.


This next quilt is Velma's also I think -  a Christmas masterpiece! All those pineapple blocks - doesn't this just make you drool!?



These next two quilts are Debbie's. They were shown last month, but they have now been quilted, and both will be gifted to some very lucky people.



 
This last quit is Karen's.  It is one of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts, from last year I believe. and I think it is called "Grass Creek". This photo (my fault) does not do it justice. It is a real work of art.

There we have it for another month.

SEPTEMBER 2021

 Well, here we are, it's been a year and a half since our last meeting!  And although Covid is still with us, we are all trying to put some normalcy (is that a word?) back into our lives.

We had a lovely meeting, it was so nice to see everyone "in person" again.   Our meeting portion was mainly focused on where we left off in March 2020 and figure out how to move forward again.  So I will leave that to Gail to email the minutes to everyone.

After such a long pause, we had quite a lot of beautiful quilts to share, so here goes

All of these beautiful quilts were made by Debbie, my understanding is that they all will be, or have been gifted to some very lucky family members and friends. I guess we all know what kept her busy over the past eighteen months!












I can't see who is hiding behind this lovely quilt, so I can't remember who this belongs to, but it is stunning. The colours all work so well together - just lovely.

                                  

These creations were made by Sherri B., who says she had made other quilts too, but had already given them away.  Aren't quilters a generous bunch!?  These are beautiful Sherri!




I believe this quilt was made by Bonnie.  I think this is called "Quarter Sections" and is one of the Highway Ten patterns.  Gorgeous!



Again, my memory fails me, and I can't see who is hiding behind this "underwater treasure".  It really is lovely, the colours are so soft and soothing.

Karen has been busy also during our months of Covid, this lovely baby quilt is just so cute! Some lucky little person is going to love this.

I made this "Storm at Sea" quilt at a workshop in Dauphin a couple of years ago, and chose to use colours from my stash, rather than purchasing a kit.  This pattern is a lot of fun to do, and there are so many variations to do, that make the designs look so different that you would never know it is the same pattern - the secret is in the colour placement!  A big thankyou to Karen from the Fabric Addict in Lethbridge!

This is another one of Bonnie's (I think) quilts.  I think this is the Bento Box pattern.
 

And these last few quilts were made by Sherry K. aren't they beautiful? I think she told us that she was trying to reduce her "gray" stash, and just chose to add one other colour to add some interest.  I'm not sure how much she reduced her stash, but she certainly created some lovely work - Sherry's quilts are always so beautiful.





I think that brings us to the end of our Show and Tell - hope you enjoyed it! And hopefully we can keep doing this every couple of weeks now.  So see you then.
