Quilts

This is a peek at my skeletons and lace quilt that is coming along.

I spent last night on the couch un-gathering lace so I can use it in the borders. I also did a little crocheting.
Kathryn Butterworth's quilts are on display this month. I have to take pictures of them to post. This is a quilt top she's finished that we got to see today.
It's all red polka dot fabric and lots of shirtings! What fun!
Priscilla Willard was by to get border fabrics for these two baby quilts she has to finish. The one on the left has fabric I used about twelve years ago at least to make a couple of baby quilts. I should find pictures of them. I loved that fabric!

The next tablerunner that Willie will be teaching is this one from Bits & Pieces on March 5th.

This beautiful quilt was made by Midge Concannon. I love blue and white quilts! I keep saying that I'm going to make one.
Pat Mulkeen is working on this batik quilt. It's coming along great!
This quilt top was made by Nicole Baguley. It's a design by Evelyn Sloppy called Honeyberries.
Here's a closer look!

Thursday morning Studio Club

Thursday mornings there's always a lot of variety of things to look at! First up we have Micki with a Halloween quilt to show us. Notice she matches her quilt!

Micki is also wearing a necklace she made with pieces of vegetables. Really.
Vi has a vegetable necklace on that she made, too. She combined the vegetables with regular beads. They've made some cool jewelry out of vegetables on Thursdays!
Nancy has on a hat that she knitted, felted, and embellished. It's really cute!
Here's Pat happily doing something, and Jessica happily knitting.
Pat is appliqueing away on her quilt!

Misc. Jo Morton

Michael and Kailey came in today with Michael's Mom, Marie, and Kaieley's Mom and Grandma to pick out fabric for a quilt! The 1st grade in St. Pius X School in Yarmouth is making a quilt for the Spring Auction on April 29th. They picked out some awesome colors!

The rest of today's pictures are all of fabric.
All of this Jo Morton fabric came in yesterday!

I think it's easier to see in these pictures of fat quarters.
So, enjoy!

Mary Wheatley's Quilts

Mary Wheatley brought in a few of her latest projects. She has finished this wallhanging that she paper pieced ala George Siciliano. Such teeny tiny pointy little pieces!

This is another one!
This one is still in two pieces that will probably be sewn together like this.
Just for fun she brought these in to show me; she knows I like embroidery. She embroidered these many years ago for her daughter who was attending MIT at the time.
Here's the back. She used pearl cotton because she finds the color stays bright. These have been worn and washed repeatedly and the embroidery looks as bright as when she first did it!

Mary always brings fun things for us to see!

Wednesday Afternoon with Debbie.

Patty Williams was practicing her machine quilting.
Evie Gauthier is behind this Jo Morton Wallhanging. I love the border fabrics she chose!

Ann-Marie Gavin was working on a tee shirt quilt with her brothers tee shirts.
Toni Ricciardi was busy making lavendar stars.

Quilts

Rhiannon made this quilt as a shower gift and stopped in to show it to us first!

Customers use our fabric for all different things! Ellen Temkin did "chicken scratch" embroidery on this gingham fabric. The heart design is her entry in a challenge for the National Pomegranate Guild.
The Spring design was from the Embroiders Guild.

Vi Olsen showed us her Ricky Timms wallhanging. Very colorful!
Cheryl Leveque made this king size quilt for her daughter, who just got married!
JoAnne finished this top made with 30's fabrics!

Bobbie stopped by and showed us some of the things she has been working on lately!

She made these two quilts using bali pops (plus some extra fabric from her stash)!
She also has been challenging herself by doing a postcard-a-day for the month of February.
She journals about the day and why she chose that design on the back of each postcard.
She also makes a "stamp" out of fabric! What a fun project!!
