Carolyn and her granddaughter, Avery brought in this top yesterday to coose border fabrics. The work is beautiful. No, that's not yellow check fabric in the corners - it's pieced one inch squares.
This is the take and teach project we will do for this year's Christmas Open House on December 7. Every year we have a day to demonstrate easy Christmas projects and put Christmas fabrics on sale. We also do a little workshop. This year there will be two sessions - one at two p.m. and one at 6 p.m. There is a minimal charge for the workshop or you can bring some non-perishable food items for the needy. We need to have you pre register so we'll know how many kits to make.
Shar finished this sample in less than a day - the whole center is a cheater! She made this one queen sized, but imagine how quickly a throw could be made. Black and white quilts are really popular. It's also good to add a touch of red or lime green.
When we were at Quilt Market I found these great Chevy fabrics. Charlie and I love old cars (even though we're more Ford people) so I couldn't resist. Bet you know someone who would like a quilt (or at least a pillowcase) from one of these.
Mary brought in another of her Four Stack Posies quilts. This time she used the Laurel Burch Secret Jungle panel. It made an unbelievable quilt. A four Stack Posy is made by stacking four repeats of a fabric (in this case four panels), cutting it into squares then picking up a stack of four squares that are identical ~ these four squares are then stitched into a block. Of course some fabrics worka lot better than others ~ this one was fantastic! All these different blocks came from the panel above.
