November 2022 Meeting show and tell!

 We all met on November 14 at the hall once again.  Our meeting agenda was moved around a little bit as we were doing a 'make and take' item for our program that Heather O organized for us! 

I think most would agree that it was a fun time!

We made these gnomes - sorry mine is the only one that I have a photo of!

DIY Gnome Tassel Ornaments – Kay Christine Blog

Heather also showed us some other cute ideas for Christmas decor!

This is just one way to make the cathedral window ornament:

Then she showed us this folded Christmas tree napkin:

Thanks Heather for the fun!

Our show and tell was great once again! (I need some better adjectives ha)


Diane S made this great pot holder/glove!


Amal made these from her scraps from her quilt - she's not sure how she will use them yet - except to admire them!



Amal's quilt from a charm pack - its a sweet quilt and the border was quite a hit as well!

This is Amal's project from a Sherida Giddings class!


I wish my photos were a bit closer - but this quilt was designed by Elaines Granddaughter- she decided what would be on the quilt.  It turned out so good!



Heather made this little basket to hold tools - to keep it standing - use a rock! 

Gorgeous Tea Time placement from our class with Sheridan Giddings!  Heather followed the suggested quilting and it is perfect!

Pam's first scrappy quilt! There's alot of flying geese on this one!
Pam also quilted this using 'big stitch' - by drawing swirly on the blocks and stitched them by hand.  Shes not sure she'll do that again haha
She didnt think that the back was 'much' but we sure did! you could see those stitches and the pieced backing (a giant flying goose) was a nice touch!



another shot of that one!

Pam also created this one - she's not sure if it will be table topper or a wall hanging.

She didn't have a pattern and had to figure it out on her own! Good job Pam!


Jodi made a couple of projects that Andrea had showed us at the October meeting - she said that they were pretty quick to come together! One is a project bag and the other a sort of 'makeup bag' - I'm sure there is another name for them!


 Sweet panel quilt made by Gisele for her nieces first baby!  she is going to make a pink ring to circle the number.  also it's hard to see but the baby's name is embroidered in the middle.



Gisele whipped up this advent calendar from a panel as well!
Gisele made a project bag - again from a kit that Andrea had at the last meeting  -then she made another using some dollar store finds (the vinyl and zipper).  Nice Gisele! Way to be creative!
A couple of placements from Debbi Delong! She made them with one block wonder setting in mind.  The turned out great!





Andrea showed us this quilt - it was meant to be bigger however the blocks were teeny tiny and many many pieces so now - it is what it is!


Sorry I have a terrible photo! the white strips are a panel cut into these sections - you cannot see it but it's a tree - sorry Andrea! 
A sweet scrap quilt made from the scraps of a larger red and white quilt!
A charm square quilt made by Andrea! very sweet!
the next few photos are wreaths (or table toppers) made by Melanie - they are a free pattern found here:

Christmas Wreath Mini Quilt & Tilda Cottage | A Free Pattern! • Wife-made

Melanies match her receivers decor! They turned out awesome!





Carlinda has had this musical fabric to make aprons for Harvest Jazz and Blues - she combined her love of that with the 3 yard quilt patterns! I did not get a shot of the back but she used the same fabric on the back - it was great! 
Another '3-yard' quilt pattern and that same fabric! Good job Carlinda!


Carlinda made these for her dads neighbors who have been checking in on him.  So kind!  The placemats are made from a panel! Very nice! 



Linda made this table runner - such a simple design - but lovely!

Hockey pillow case!

These place mat/table runners are really sweet in person and a great use of some of that directional fabric! Great job Linda!


Thanks everyone for bringing your show and tell :) As always it truly is the highlight of my night!

KR Quilters Quilt Show! Quilt around the clock! Oh what a thrill!

 Didn't we have a tremendous time at the Quilt Show?

I have a few photos to share with you here- if you missed it - it was so much fun!

In case it wasn't obvious -  we had a 50's theme!  Quilt around the clock - a play on the words 'Rock around the clock!'

From the Elvis Quilt hanging in the entry to the blue and white checkered floor the ladies out did themselves!  *wink* *wink*

We had help from a number of committee members as well as some spouses!

Look at the jukebox created for us by Susan Fearon! That girl has talent!  It played music all show long!


The winner of our quilt was Berylann Mccullough - what a beautiful quilt she now owns!
Some of the details were so fun!

Did you get yourself a snack? We had ice cream floats, sundaes and cookies! thank you Debby Delong for your work in the kitchen!

Our bed turning was a great success!!! A few times during the show we would do a presentation of the quilts on the bed - they were stacked high and each had its own story to tell!  Which was your favorite?

Our guild always presents a challenge for our quilt show - something for the members to work on.  This time it was 'stripe mania' - I love how everyone interpreted differently!


Our members market really was a feast for the eyes as well! Here is a fraction of what we had displayed!











Here is a couple of photos - of the layout of the room! all the beautiful quilts!



We also toted an 'interactive' quilt show! The ladies came up with this great idea!  They arranged a number of quilting articles together with a song in mind - wherever you found this flyer you would find a '45' record with the answer on it.  (Sorry i am not explaining this very well!)  but if you were there did you have a favorite?   I think I liked 'blueberry hill' the best!


Phewf the ladies did an excellent job once again!  We heard many many compliments and we were so excited to have so many people come out to visit us!! 

I may get my hands slapped for showing this one - but this is some of the ladies taking a little break on Thursday evening  :)     Marilyn Calhoun - I hope that that GREEN cashbox didn't stay there the whole show? :0


GREAT WORK LADIES!


PS: The quilts voted 'favorites' will have their own blog post coming up in the next few days!!! Keep an eye out!


thanks for looking!!!
