Harriet brought three tops that were pieced together with Chinese Coin craziness. They are bright and quite suitable for young men--which could help with our Youth Forum needs this spring. We need to discuss how best to finish these up.
Mary, who has been busy at the QFC pharmacy, brought her quilt-as-you-go project. She commented that working on small squares makes for a lot more work with the long pieces (sashing?) that pull it all together.
Janet let us know that she is caught up with a long-standing, hand-quilted project at home. It is all one huge piece of white (beige?) fabric that is finished with just hand stitching. Hopefully she will bring it to our next meeting to show us her progress.
Miriam, our oldest quilter, brought a fluffy and fun baby quilt for a Plymouth baby. We learned that Miriam likes to get up early in the morning and quilt for about three hours, often by hand, before she gets started on her day. Tremendously prolific, Miriam admits that she was born with a sewing machine in her arms.
Patricia showed progress on her YF quilt that is made with bold pieces of South African fabric. So far she has finished freestyle quilting half of that quilt-as-you-go piece. On the side she has been making a "quilted afghan" for her living room. Composed of graphic squares of green, gold and brown fabric, Patricia showed strips of piecing ready to sew into the final top.
