Jaxson's Quilt

I finished the quilt on time for Sunday baby shower though I dropped it off (and got to hold the baby) on my way to work.  The footballs, logo and helmet are all done with "trapunto" to give them a thicker, puffier look than the rest of the quilt.  I had to add the field grid lines after the quilting so green quilting lines did not go over the white "yard" lines.  I think this was the fastest I have ever finished a baby quilt!

October Show and Tell

Here is a small recap of the program and Show and Tell from our October Meeting. Sherry K. demonstrated string quilting.  She had a lot of beautiful examples and lots of good tips and hints for all of us.

Reneta has been busy digging into her stash.  She has made 18 placemats like this one, and all she bought was the binding to tie them all together.

And Reneta's Quarter Sections - Christmas version which came entirely from her stash!

Brenda's Mahjonng  quilt.

And one of three spectacular Halloween quilts Brenda is making from the Happy Haunting pattern.  The details are beyond amazing!  Brenda does caution anyone against making three of the same pattern - she thought would be easier if she did them all at once - she is now thinking this is more of a one time only kind of pattern....

And this really cute quilt as you go baby quilt.

Cindy is making this Blue Bomber quilt for a baby arriving soon, she brought the partially completed top as it would be sent away before our next meeting.

This scrappy diamond was shown by Dawn but belongs to her mom Eleanor.
