SHOW AND TELL -
Jenifer made this charity quilt top out of the black and white blocks made for the April meeting challenge.
Phoebe made a cute iron caddy for her pal Lynn.
Phoebe also made a stunning foundation paper pieced elephant wall hanging.
Whitner took a class on sewing with knits and made this adorable t-shirt that we all wanted. Pattern is the Straight Stitch Designs Montlake Tee.
Love this cute Halloween themed pillow by Kim!
Sandy is working on a sample for a class she will be teaching next year at Camp Kanuga in North Carolina.
She also showed a variation on the same pattern.
Amy made this sweet quilt for her brother and sister-in-law for a wedding gift. She chose the colors based on the bride's bouquet.
The back of the quilt was dreamy too!
Cathy sure put a lot of hard work into this tablecloth she made for her kitchen table!
Alice made this "Letters to Santa" quilt top for her grandson, Wilson.
The back of the quilt has little envelopes and is Alice's husband's favorite part.
Alice put together this fun little Christmas tree mini from blocks she received at the JK Modern Quilt Camp swap.
Love this pink and grey strip quilt Alice made.
Lynn made this Style Arc Dimity top out of some gorgeous, flowy rayon. She made some other shirts too but I was too jealous to take any more pictures.....
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 24th. Don't forget to bring your nametags, show and tell and your scrap challenge!
