Hello! This is a busy post, as there was a lot to do this past long weekend.
Saturday, Gwyned Trefethen was the guest at the Empire Quilters. She talked about her series of quilts and various design elements in quilting. Here are a couple of photos of her work:
And this is a fun little Witchy quilt that the woman next to me was working on (darn, didn't write her name down). Members who attended the October round table we "treated" to a kit to make this quilt.
Member show and tell:
This is a "mile a minute" quilt
There was more, but my photos were sub-par for publication.Here are the Block of the Month fashion label blocks, that I didn't win :(
Hanna and I made Krispee Treats. Traditional, and Fruity Pebble, which were sweet and good! For some reason, fall always seems the right time to make these.
On Tuesday, Hanna and I headed in to the city for a little shopping and see the Quilt Exhibit at the Williams Club, which was a beautiful East Side Brownstone. It is a private Alumni Club and a full of interesting architectural details.
It was interesting to view these quilts in all the different halls, parlors and meeting rooms at this club.
This weekend, I'm hoping to spend a little more time sewing.
fun quilts. I particularly like the mile a minute. I do so love string quilts.
ReplyDeleteLoved the quilt show :0) My favs were the applique (with the swans) and the cute basket quilt.

Lots of Show 'n Tell today. The most interesting quilt to me was the one that looks like a Snail's Trail but is pieced with those twirly parts. I don't know a better way to explain it.
