Q Meeting in September


I know Halloween's a few weeks away, but thought I'd start our September Quilt Group pics with Nancy's appliqued cat. She moved a while back, but came to visit our group and brought a few things with her. The photo below is the back of her Halloween Quilt...

and in this one you can see how the cats run around the border on the front....

We brought pinwheel blocks for Janet who requested reds and whites...

It reminded me of an old quilt I bought years ago and I thought Janet might like seeing it...Red pinwheels set with rows in between. It's in terrible condition, tied in only a few places to a sheet backing and with no batting! But I used to bunch it up around the base of our Christmas tree, and it worked perfectly for that.



Kareena, who hosted us this month with a delicious lunch, shared this sock monkey quilt she'd made a while back.

Love that backing fabric!


Nancy also shared her doll quilts-a mini log cabin...

Pinwheels...
And here is a photo with a pen to give you an idea of the scale...






This looks like a circle quilt by Helen, but it's actually a whole cloth-with-borders quilt.



Remember the Christmas Present blocks? Helen has hers all finished!




This one is a circle quilt by Nan. Love all of the "random" fabrics, and how really scrappy works so beautifully in this.





Nan also made this iron cozy for transporting a hot iron home from a sew day without damaging your car. Clever!

Ardith brought her Valentine Quilt all quilted and bound and ready for that special day in February...



Barbara has sewn together the blocks she requested a few months ago. She was deciding on whether or not to add a border. I think we voted no, but she doesn't have to listen to us!

She's also made a present quilt, but with all the same size blocks, sashed in a plaid and bordered with a retro-looking Christmas Shoppers fabric. Such fun packages!

Barbara found this unique quilt top at an antique store. The pieced sections are appliqued and even though it's roughly crafted, I couldn't help but love the sunny yellow....

... and all the old scrappy fabrics ...


Claudia brought a quilt she'd made years ago but hadn't quilted. The buttery yellow and subdued colors allowed her beautiful long arm quilting to shine...



Make it a Wonderful Day!

  1. I'll say it again...you have a very talented group of quilters there! I especially love the whole cloth with borders quilt and the circle quilt. Do y'all meet at each others' homes or at a quilt shop?
