Show and Tell
Many folks were showing off
their take on Melinda’s demonstration in July.
Melinda thanks so much for inspiring us.Laurel experimented with patterns on paper (including a four color version).
Lorraine created some beautiful blocks with batiks. Figuring out to arrange these creations is the next challenge.
Jody found a perfect border fabric to go with her yellow and gray mini masterpiece.
Melinda went to Quilt Camp (see upcoming dates below) and made these wonderful quilts -BQ3, Convergence Quilt, Pop of Color. The BQ3 showcased some beautiful Aboriginal inspired fabric.
Laurel, your applique blocks are beautiful. Each block brings a different challenge while appliquing.
The pattern calls for the blocks to look like this when put together:
Most likely Laurel won't be calling attention away from the flowers with the triangle frames.
Demonstration
Lorraine, thanks so much for
showing us how to use Deb Tucker’s ruler to make the Rapid Fire Hunter Star
using chain piecing techniques. The ruler is really brilliant and your demonstration fabulous. WOW! You have inspired us.
The ruler comes with super directions and lots of ways to arrange these stellar blocks.

Great write up Kathleen! I loved all the quilt projects shown this month. Lorraine you did a great job on the Hunter's Star demonstration. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteGood job Kathleen! It looks so professional and covered so much. Who was taking all those photos? This is going to be a fun way to keep tabs.
