october 09 meeting








show and tell
Shannon’s awesome husband sent chocolate for us to share. She is working on blue and white squares for a YF quilt. Plus a frayed-style quilt sample for Sarah's store.

Nothing is stopping Ingrid and her new Bernina! She brought a quilt top she whipped up and her daughter's Spirit of Halloween dress in progress.

Janet has finished the embroidery on her incredible embroidered red-work quilt and showed us some backing fabric choices.

Sarah’s hip fabric store, Fabric Crush, is now open in Magnolia Village, just off the main drag: 2313 Viewmont Way West. Hours: Tue- Fri 10 to 5, Sat 11 to 5, Sun 1 to 5, Mon closed

Miriam showed us another of her fabulous jean quilts that she made for the upcoming Lakeside School auction.

So far two years in the making, Maurine is working on a remarkable gold and maroon quilt for her son and daughter-in-law. She also shared two piles of fabric to inspire us.

What a lucky five-year old grand nephew will get a cosy quilt from Harriet! The quilt is covered with horses, front and back.

Pris finished her bodacious quilt for Plymouth House of Healing. On the back it is decorated with all sorts of fun appliques that will delight the recipient.

Flora is going crazy with layering fabric. She has a vision for adding tulle and special stitching to her wonderful labyrinth quilt after hearing a fiber artist speak at her CA quilting group.

Patricia talked about using Ruth McDowell's book, Piecing Workshop, to make her curved Genesis square.

Diane wowed us with a t-shirt quilt like no other. It is for a conference room at N-Sid-Sen—using camp t-shirts from over the years. The thimbleberry shape she used for the appliqued shirts is delightful. Diane also made a striking quilt with fabrics from last year's Oregon Coast Quilt Run that intertwines two shapes together dramatically.
