UFO day

 At the August meeting, many of the items presented for "Show and Tell" were old UFOs.  I envy them being able to finally finish some of theirs!!

Kathi Everett made this gorgeous quilt for her granddaughter.  Fellow member Mary Lowe quilted it.


Tracy Jachimowicz finished her least favorite UFO- possibly beecause of how big the pieces are.  It was quilted by our August speaker from Town and Country quilt shop.  Now that it's finished, it will be a gift for her aunt.  

Halli Lavner discovered you can rent time on the long arm machine at the Quilt Farm.  She enjoyed doing the quilting on this  piece featuring fabric she got on a trip to California after they got her started!


Chris Kuehl bought the kit for this at one of our Christmas auctions.  

This piece was made in a thread painting class with Caren Betlinski in 2010.  Chris enjoyed it so much, she went right ahead with some coneflowers.  
She finally finished this little wall hanging and a pillow (that I couldn't get a picture of- sorry!)


Sue Chiddy was happy to show off the piece she made in the straight line quilting class with Connie and Jen.


Nancy Bow made this disappearing 4 patch- which she says she did wrong- which is a community service donation


Carol Mc Nally made this quilt with other members of the East Aurora Fire department auxiliary to be raffled as a fund-raiser .



 Connie has been finishing UFOs.  The bindings weren't quite done, but she might not have them next month.
                                               This Halloween runner will be donated

This was made with a charm pack

This quilt was pieced in 2020, made largely with scraps purchased from Ann Renica.

                        This is a "potato chip" block quilt.  It will be a gift for a friend

This is from one of those "Villa Rosa" postcard patterns.  It will be a gift for a friend as well.  

                                      Another "Villa Rosa" pattern, and another gift for a very lucky friend.  


Jennifer Grimsley has been making things to use up the "sashiko" panels she embroiders.  These two pictures are coasters.  


                                          With larger panels, Jen made tote bags.



Ann Renica has been using up some of her "I Spy" stash to make quilts for the critical care unit at Highland Hospital.  (3 below)




I was unable to stay for the program, so didn't get pictures from our speaker this month.  Apologies in advance that there will be no blog post in September, as I am unable to attend.  (unless someone wants to do it for me. Contact me if interested)

In September, several of our members will be showing off their work (and I have to miss it.  :-( )
