August 2022 - Virtual Meeting

 I have a lot of pictures for you today. I know you are going to enjoy these.

Anita has been watching videos from Karen Brown of Just Get It Done Quilts.  Her YouTube channel can be found here:

Anita's first quilt was inspired by one of the Just Get It Done Videos. Anita calls it her Picnic Blanket.

Anita has also been busy making table runners and placemats.

Carole Kennedy sends a quilt that she made to remind her of family vacations in Maine.

Janice Pound made this quilt for her niece's first baby due any day now. The quilt is called Sea Sampler by Stacy Iest Hsu. It was quilted by Krista.

Janice also made 2 quilties for the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

Kathy O'Hagen finished a mystery quilt from "years past". It is a Border Creek Pattern by Sherri Hisey. The quilt was quilted by Krista. Kathy will be giving it to her Brother and his wife.

Margaret Duncan sent along this finish (she had a couple more, which we hope to have pictures for next month).

MaryAnn McLaughlin's project over the last while has been Eye Spy quilts for two of the grandchildren. She is now in the process of quilting them.

MaryAnn says: "I'm using a variation on quilt as you go. Both front and back are pieced. The front is 3.5" strips and 6.5" strips and the back is 6.5" strips. I sew one side on to the batting, then flip and sew the other side."

These are process pictures.

Nancy has finished a project she has been working on for awhile. The pattern is called Perpetually Hexies by Katia Marek. Nancy says the hexies took forever and so she calls hers Horrendous Hexies. It was quilted by Krista.

Pat Nyenhuis has finished another quilt top. 

Wow, that is a great collection of pictures. I'm so happy to see all of these gorgeous projects, both in progress and finished. 

Next Month, our Show and Tell will be September 12. Let's see if Back to School sees us Back to Sewing. If we start getting lots of pictures, I may go back to twice a month!

Remember, I can take your pictures any time. You don't need to wait for the invitation.
