february 09 meeting

show and tell
It was wonderful to have Maurine up here for a visit. She is working on a senior quilt and she described an amazing quilt that she is creating from some antique blocks.

Linda showed the beautiful red and black quilt which she was hand quilting while we visited.

Flora brought out a quilt that her aunt made for her which Flora lovingly laid out on many Hawaiian beaches (doesn't that sound nice?)

Miriam brought a beautiful crocheted patchwork afghan which she donated to the Rainier House apartment furnishing project.

Harriet has been very busy and showed us a rail fence quilt which I think is going to be a senior quilt, a gorgeous 16 patch with uneven strips, a sweet baby quilt made using the quilt as you go method and another senior quilt made from plaids. (Whew!)

Janet brought a very nice "super simple strip" quilt (59" x 74")

Pat brought a cute baby quilt made for her grandchild and a green quilt which is to be from the choir for the apartment project.

Shannon brought two quilts. Wow! The crazy blue one will be a senior quilt after she makes it a bit bigger and the green/gold one is for her sister.

Flora has been very busy cutting out quilts for anyone who wants to put them together. She showed a couple of “house” quilts that will go to the Plymouth House of Healing. She also wowed us with the beautiful quilt that she has made for her nephew to use in his truck sleeper.
