June 2011 Guild Meeting

We had several members show their work at our June meeting. 

Charlie made 4 flag wall hangings for her kids who have retired and returned from military service.

And Pat showed her pretty pieced patriotic quilt, just perfect for displaying for the Fourth of July!

Lisa Burmann showed her Victorian Garden wallhanging…

Here are a few more quick photos of quilts made by

Suzanne Moynet, our June speaker.

  

Remember, if you show something at our meeting, please fill out the Show and Tell form so your quilts can be displayed here on our blog, too!

2011 Challenge Quilt

Are you up for the challenge? 
*  Due at the November meeting.
*  Must be a completed (quilted and bound) 25" square quilt including a quilt label.
*  You can only use a total of 2 fabrics - the fat quarter given and an additional fabric of your  choosing.
*  You can have it quilted by another quilter if you'd like.  You must give credit on the quilt label for the quilter.
*  You are welcome to embellish the piece.  You can use ribbons, beads, buttons, decorative threads, etc.  Ribbons may not be used as a third fabric though.
*  You can make your piece using any method of quilting you like.  Applique, piecing, foundation piecing, fussy cutting, etc.
*  We will have a vote at the October meeting for the guild favorite.  Places and prizes are yet to be determined - but they will be good ones!!
 
Here is an example of a quilt that followed these rules:

Yes, all the color you see on the front of this quilt came from

one single fat quarter, fussy cut!
