Sew Night!

Helen brought this quilt she had made from a class Claudia  taught at the Quilt Walk a few years ago.  It is a unique block I had to get up close to figure it out.
Pretty cool, I think.

This was a doily she had used for the basket.  Too cute.


 We learned how to do these blocks  it is called tube quilting. Marylou really went to town and had 13 blocks done she is almost ready to sew it together. I saw the video on these blocks here. Go to summer in the park using jelly rolls . She made these using the avairy line of fabric.  What a pretty quilt this is going to be.

LaVee brought her quilt all sewn together and ready to cut apart to make the twisty quilt.  (what is the name of that one?)  She and Lana are ready to cut.


Helen even brought a book and a magazine to see if anyone wanted them. 


I had to leave for a meeting after I took these pictures so there may have been even more ladies come to sew.  Sorry If I missed you. 

Enjoy!

Yea! Sew night and a Sneak Peek at a Quilt Walk Festival Class.

Claudia made this Apron.  Is that Pocket too cute. She said she has 6 more to make.
Carolyn brought this Afghann to work on.  Crocheting is really coming back.  I loved doing these in the 70's and now they are cool again.  I hesitate because you know my record for finishes.  They would be out of style and maybe back in before I got them done. 


Wendy brought this hexagon guilt her mother had made because there was no binding on the quilt.  I think they are still talking about the kind of binding it needs.  Isn't it beautiful.  Those colors make a feast for my eyes.  Love lots of color.

Claudia and Nan went to Brigham City to take some classes from the Nickle quilt lady. (sorry I can't remember her name.) Nickle quilts because she uses 5" squares for each block.   Claudia taught us some of the techniques they learned and will be showing us more the next time we meet.   She also showed us a trick with using "cheap" shelf liner, just a small piece, under the rulers when we cut with the rotary cutters so the rulers don't slip. She said use cheap because the good stuff is thicker and holds the rulers to high off the fabric.

Shannon brought this cute fabric to show us.  I think she is still working on building her stash but I can't wait to see what she does with this.

Debbie said she is going to get her advent calendars ready for next year so she is starting early...no not late.
This is the background.  The colors are so pretty in this and she will attach the pieces with buttons.  


Here are the pieces she will attach to the panel.  She has three in the works but with grandkids who knows she may need more by next year.

Jerilu brought this bag to show us.  It is to carry and protect the fiberglass top we use attach to  our sewing machines to make the sewing area bigger.  I know she had a name for it.  I hope you know what I mean.


I had people ask me about the pattern for Dianne's quilt from the post last week.  Here is the pattern company for it.

Kenda has started one of the wall hangings like Shannons.  It is going to be beautiful.

Shannon brought peanut brittle to share.  Yummm


Ok all, this is the sneak peak.  This is a sample of the class Claudia will be teaching at the Quilt Walk Festival. 

Look how gorgeous that star is.  Classes will be up the first of February.  Keep you eyes open for it.


I love how the nine patch fits into the star within a star. 

Enjoy!

More great pictures from sew night. No the pictures are not great but the subject of them are.

Here is a quilt I am finally getting the binding on.  It is from Quilt Walk Festival 2004.  I can't remember the name and am hunting frantically for the pattern.  Anyway almost a finish.


John 'ALee brought her blocks from her mystery BOM that she is working on.
They are really cute.  I wish they showed up as good here as IRL.  The first one is finished.
This one is a work in progress. 


John ALee also had a bag Marla had made for her.  It has some bling on the top white band. 

Next Wednesday is our guild meeting.  I can't wait to see what everyone has been working on.

Enjoy!
