Fall certainly arrived in a hurry. I found myself putting the fall bedding on the bed that other day, when I am sure I was in shorts just a couple of days before.
We found this nest tucked into our firewood pile, and it is a quilters delight. The maker used the covers from tennis balls, wood fiber, dog hair, some plastic from a grocery bag, and cloth from the dog's t-shirt tug. I think that counts as mixed media.
Just a small number of projects this month.
Christine Welsh made this quilt for a wedding she attended in the UK in August. She found the weather very hot, and missed our Ottawa air conditioning! The quilt was partially custom quilted by Krista.
Helen Anderson sends us a selection of the charity quilts she made over the summer. She made a total of 28.
With the cooler weather, Helen has started some holiday sewing.
MaryAnn McLaughlin has finished the I Spy quilts she was making for her two younger grandchildren. She thanks Pat Nyenhuis for teaching her about these quilts and for the fabric donations from Doreen and Kate.
This is the two quilts together. They are identical except for the names on them.
This is the front.
And this is the back.
Pat Nyenhuis says that this is the last quilt she is able to do by herself. She says "I want to say good bye to the Poole Creek Quilters and thank you all for your friendship and support over the last number of years. Wonderful friends! My energy is very limited now but quilting is still close to my heart."
She calls this quilt "My Garden".
Our next Show and Tell will be November 7.
