show and tell
Miriam made us all cloth grocery pages in wonderful fabric with trim details. We each seemed to find one that matched our personalities. Miriam also showed us a YF quilt project made with the pattern that Maurine shared with us in June. She is about to head off to Norway for a birthday party. What a jet setter!
Maurine had just completed two quilts for Plymouth Healing Communities as well as the two family quilts made of her deceased nephew's Hawaiian rayon shirts. They were deluxe with extra soft velour backings—see photo. Maurine also shared some of her hand-dyed threads with us.
Janet created a remarkable piece of jewelry that she presented to Maurine as a Thank You for being such a generous soul. The silver pendant framed an American stamp of a Gee's Bend quilt, with a fun drop-bead detail. Check out that attached photo for the look on Maurine's face when she opened her gift.
Pat, our newest member, showed us project after project. A remarkable hand stitcher, her most impressive project was a Crazy Quilt made with gorgeous velvets. She also had some unfinished projects that others adopted for potential YF quilts.
Patricia showed an unfinished YF quilt with central pieces made by Maurine in a Nancy Crow workshop. She is hand quilting it together . She is also working on a simple table topper made from hand dyed fabric bought from Elin Noble at Quiltfest plus a very un-babylike baby quilt.
Flora had two table toppers made with precise star piecing. And Harriet came to see all the inspired projects and join in the great conversations.
