Shannon treated us to cookies from Larsens and exquisite jasmine flower tea. Eight of us gathered for a great evening of sharing quilts.
Show N Tell
Patricia told us about her work on
StashFest, a fundraiser for the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum. She is also planning to finish up her lap-sized quilt, Babbling, in time for a quilt contest.
Our hostess
Shannon showed us three quilts she’s working on. The top quilt, with machine embroidered alphabet squares, will hang in the Bernina NW store when completed. The black and white quilt will be donated to an auction at Ballard High School to raise money. And the pink and grey quilt, made from a modern quilt book, will be given as a YF quilt, once finished.
Pris brought her completed bird quilt and granddaughter
Hailey. The huge quilt is hand-stitched—both the piecing and the quilting! It is incredibly charming.
Miriam has been busy. She produced a House of Healing quilt, two comfort quilts and a comfort afghan. (All of us love the colors in her crocheted afghan—brights on a dull green-grey.)
Janet has been working too hard at home proofreading PATH documents. She needs some time to play with her quilt projects!
Harriet made pillows for her neices in Colorado that match their wonderful quilts.
Shannon’s neighbor
LeeAnn joined us for the evening. The author of the
Nifty Quilt blog, she likes to make bold, colorful quilts.
