Sew and Tell

Drawing names for door prizes

Our Zinger Quilt top finished thanks to Margo.  Quilt will
go to the Holiday Quilts for quilting and auction.

What a fun quilt Margo, using Kaffe Fasset fabrics

And a cute dresser scarf with the scraps

Linda's lovely Hexi project in process, started out to be a queen size,
moved on to lap quilt and decided a nice table topper.  We all
understand that outcome with hand work

Mary Beth's cute Easter table runner finished up

Crystal told us the story of this lovely quilt several generations
and years in completing.  

Kathy showed us this sweet shop hop quilt started when she
lived in Washington and finally finished.  Very cute.


Teri's pretty blue churn dash

And another pretty finish from Teri; a "cozy" quilt for
her husband

Jennifer's cute Caterpillar quilt celebrating 50 years for
this "very fun children's book"

A manly quilt for a prospective Grandson-in-law from Anita

Jeanette's mini-shamrock topper from blocks made
by guild members during a block challenge

Jeanette's been canning vegetables and fruit, so cute

 








Different types of Quilt Backing

Suzanne discussed different ways of backing your quilts.  With this first one she showed, it had a plain white backing fabric which shows off your quilting.

The front of this pretty red quilt

And here is the back, using leftover scraps to piece into
the back.

A fun modern quilt front

And here's the back, just as fun as the front
