This month’s meeting included a member’s very first quilt (yay!), a couple of entries in our found objects challenge, and more. Take a look!
Jan’s creative entry was made by bleaching and printing shells, as well as coffee-dying cheesecloth
Sharon was inspired by the recent balloon spying (or whatever it was!) to create her own balloons here. Ask her to tell you more about it!
The first quilt made by new quilter Renée. Well done!!
And her second qulit, also lovely! Both were quilted by our LQS, Straight Stitch Quilts.
Lori created these charming bird houses!
This is the latest creation by Linda, sparked by a class she’s been taking. Linda designed and paper pieced it, and the teacher will be including it in her new book!!
When your neighbors are having babies – two twins and a singleton, all boys – what else can you do but make a quilt? This is one of three that Linda has made this month for the new arrivals.
Reminder about our found objects challenge: Bring something to the meeting, whether it’s fabric or an object, that you will use in the challenge. It could be an old key, an interesting rock, a piece of twine, old earrings, or anything else that inspires you to create! Inspiration for this challenge comes from a book by Jane Davila. (The library owns her Art Quilt Workbook.) Check her out on Facebook at Jane Davila and on Instagram at @JaneDavila. Here’s an example of her work:
Mark your calendars for next month’s meeting, on April 13th. Bring your found objects wall quilts and anything else you’re working on!
