Miniature Quilts

 

At our January meeting of the Keswick Ridge Quilters we welcomed Joyce Newman.  She shared her miniatures with us and informed us about what a true miniature quilt is.  Joyce began making miniatures so she could test out new techniques.  Joyce designs her own patterns and she will be sharing her expertise at our February Super Saturday on the 23rd. Here are a few photos of her miniatures and a YouTube video of all the quilts we were lucky to have had a chance to view at our meeting.

Highlights from Our Show

Our "Harvest of Quilts" show was a success even though it was damp and rainy outside.  485+ people attended and many folks commented that they loved the displays.  It was sad to see all the quilts folded up on the pews and ready to be taken home at 3:30 yesterday.  Thanks to everyone who worked on the committee, made cakes, organized the rooms, volunteered on the Friday and Saturday  and especially those who allowed their work to be shown.  AND THAT PRETTY MUCH INCLUDES EVERYONE IN OUR QUILTING GROUP!!  A special thank you to all the non-members (our husbands and friends) who helped us as well, we couldn't have done it without you. 
Here are some pictures that highlight our show:

This Friday and Saturday

Hope to see you all at our show!!!!!

Colour Play

The Colour Wheel

At our October meeting, Brenda Dunsmore spoke to us about choosing colour.  She reviewed the colour wheel and how we can use it to pick complimentary colours or split complimentary colours.  She showed us lots of examples of quilts that were examples of using complimentary colours.  She also showed examples of quilts that contained a focus fabric and the other colours in the quilt were taken from the focus fabric.
