Round Robin

I'm showing my Round Robin from a winter Sew Whatever group project. The theme was animals. I appliqued and embroidered the center, Georgann appliqued the inner border and Janet P. pieced the outer.

Let's see if anyone else got theirs finished!

Old Blocks, New Quilt

Deb Rowden is finishing off this quilt this week. She had some pale, rather subdued 9-patch blocks from about 1940 and set them with an eye-catching strip sashing. Perfect for the show's theme of quilting over the generations.

Oldie but Goodie

I recently hung this wonderful old quilt in my bedroom. Kathe

Terry's New Pattern

Terry shows her Strawberry Sundae reproduction. She copied an antique quilt from about 1850 for a new pattern for her Peace Creek Patterns. Pam Mayfield appliqued and quilted the model for her.

Look for the pattern next month and look for the quilt at the quilt show.

Binding Obligations 2

Kathe is doing friend Nan a favor by binding her President's Quilt.

Nan asked for blocks featuring homes.

See it at the show on Saturday and Sunday.

Binding Obligations

The whole of eastern Kansas is busy this week binding their quilts for the Kaw Valley Quilters guild show.
Janet and Georgann are finishing Janet's wonky log cabin in the back room at Sarah's Fabrics.

Janet and Nicki show it off.

Another Birds mini quilt

Another one for the mini quilt auction. It features a center made by Linda Frost (with birds!). Georgann Eglinski, the all-time queen of mini quilts, added the rest. Please note Georgann's beautiful matching sweater in the background (I didn't want to totally crop it out). isn't it wonderful!

Back to the Bird Theme

Chirp.

I was looking for a paisley project

and thought of a tiny piece Linda Frost had done.

Mine is now bound and ready for the quilt show.

Thanks for the idea, Linda.

Group Project: Sew Whatever

The small group the Sew Whatevers is meeting this weekend at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City for a retreat. The group project is a Four-Patch based on this fabric from Kaffe Fassett. It's a little purpler than the photo and has yellows, carmel browns, salmons and turquoise in it.

Wendy's start for a strip set

Participants made four patches based on the color palette and exchanged them.

Sarah's start for an alternating block set

Everybody brought fabric and a plan to set them.

Georgann's start for a zig-zag strip set with added 9-patches

They are still up there sewing. I had to come home.

Sarah is filling in with dark purple x's

Let's hope to see some finished tops at the next show and tell at guild.
