May, June and July 2022

 I have missed a couple of months, so these pictures may be out of order, and some of them, I can't remember whose they are, so I am just going to post these pictures, and leave it there.

This a Bonnie Hunter quilt that Karen made, called Boxy Bowties.  She said that even with all of those scraps, her scrap pile never went down!

This is also a quilt that Karen made - isn't he cute?


This is a quilt that Karen pieced and will be gifted to one of the Ukrainian families that will be coming to Roblin.


These next few pictures, I can't remember who they belong to anymore, so just to say how lovely they all are, and what a talented group of ladies we have.

APRIL 2022


Here we are again, after missing a couple of sew days, due to our wonderful Manitoba Spring blizzards! 

This gorgeous quilt was made by Sherry K., The pattern is one of Highway 10 designs, called Quarter Sections, then Sherry added that wonderful row of appliqued leaves.  It is absolutely stunning.

>This scrappy wonder was made by Karen, and is one of Bonnie Hunter's scrap quilts.  It's just beautiful.


Eunice made this beautiful purple heart quilt.  This photo really doesn't show how pretty this is.  Lovely job.

 I made this quilt.  It was a mystery quilt that was hosted by Cindy Hamilton of the Dauphin Crocus Quilter's Guild.  Then, as it wasn't quite wide enough for a bed, I added a border all the way around.


These next three quilt tops were pieced by Velma.   I think we've created a monster, as Velma is new to the quilt world!Now look at her go!

I think this one is called "Carolina Chain".

This one is "Arkansas Crossroads"

This one is "Pinwheels"  Such a lot of 1/2 square triangles!



This last quilt was shown by Donelda.  She did not make this quilt, but is doing the quilting on it.  It is all hand stitched, and is just beautiful. This quilt will be a treasured family heirloom I'm sure.

That is it for this month.  See you in May.

MARCH 2022

 

Well, here it is, almost the end of the month again, so I better get this blog done before we start a new month.

These lovely Christmas place mats were made by Janice.  They are so bright and festive looking.


This is a Wonky Hearts  quilt, made by Sherry K.  It is absolutely gorgeous, and this photo really does not do it justice, because the colours are just so rich looking, It almost has the look of suede.



Another quilt made by Sherry K.  It is called Take 2,  Sherry has such a good eye for colour, and these fabrics really compliment each other.



These last two photos are four more placemats, for our Meals on Wheels Program. They are so bright and cheerful, I'm sure that whoever gets them will be very pleased.

FEBRUARY 2022

Well, just when I thought I knew what I was doing when writing this blog - all of a sudden I don't!  I had to buy a new laptop, and now everything is different, and I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how things work!

Anyway, here goes, and hopefully this will get easier in time - my thanks to my daughter Cheryl, who loaded these pictures for me, otherwise this would not be happening.

I believe this is a comfort quilt that Karen put together from fabric that was donated to the guild.


This is a quilt that Bonnie made, and don't you just love the colours in it?


Debbie made this beauty!  This photo really does not do it justice.

These next photos are finishes from some very talented guild members, and I have to confess that I cannot remember who made them.  My apologies.  What a great way to use up some of your stash!











What a great array of quilted items, and I am very sorry for me lack of memory, I need to do better with this blog, because it could be so much better if I could give credit where credit is due.

January 2022

 

This beautiful quilt was created by Janice, and I think she said it was a Canadian Quilters pattern. The colours in this photo do not do justice to this quilt.  It is much richer and deeper than is shown here.


This is another one of Janice's creations, from her UFO pile.  Way to go!  This top is from a guild challenge that our group did a few years ago. Every couple of weeks we were given a new leaf block to make, and just look what resulted!  hopefully we will get to see it once it's quilted.



Bonnie made this gorgeous quilt.  I don't remember the name of this pattern, but it is certainly a stunner. The colours are so vibrant.






November 2021


I have to apologize for my procrastination - I have no excuse as to why I waited so long to post these, other than I guess I'm just plain lazy!  Anyway, here goes....

These first three braided lovelies, were made by Rena.  They were Christmas gifts for some very lucky family members.  And I'm sure they were a huge hit!





This beautiful quilt is just stunning, and I can't remember whose it is, but I see Karen's feet underneath, so I'm going to guess that it is hers.


These next two belong to Joan - a gorgeous table runner done in Christmas colours, and a beautiful string quilt.  This is not the first string quilt we have seen from her, and they certainly make an eyecatching quilt.
