Using those precuts!!

 

Two quick things before I begin this post- 

First- Blogger is uploading pictures in random order today, so pictures that should go together might not be together.  I have learned it's pointless to fight with it.

Second  will someone please help me remember  to close the shade behind where everyone stands to show their projects?  (Thanks in advance.)

Stephanie Mott found the cutest John Deere panel  to finish up as gifts for her nephew's birthday ! The tiny ones were sort of bonus bits on the pillow panel. 

Stephanie also finished her appliqué block from the classes with Sheri Cifaldi- Morrill.  She plans to make 4 into a full sized quilt.  

Stephanie joined  teacher Barb Sage, Marsha Regan, Dianne Szczupakowski to show off the little bags they made at last month's workshop.

Julie Gruendike finished her "Picnic Petals" quilt from the class with Sheri Cifaldi-Morrill last year.  

Someone or other gave Liz Scott a bunch of fabric and half-finished projects from a mother's (I think) stash.  Liz finished this from that donation for community service.

This very pink quilt- also from that donation is also for community service.

Jenn Grimsley also finished her "Picnic Petals" quilt. No, it doesn't have a crazy background- what you're seeing is the ladybugs on the back since the shades weren't closed (so remind me, ok!?)

Jen and Connie shared some "economy block" quilts recently finished in the community service stash.  

Our March speaker, Karen Roll, is now a member.  She brought back the masterpiece quilt she had shared during her program to share now that it is finished!

Apologies to Elaine Ross for how poorly this photo shows off her beautiful quilt.  A challenge for Elaine, since the pattern asked her to make blocks and then cut them up!

Bonnie Dedo is happy this UFO is now finished. She said it is not a Christmas quilt; it's a summer forest!  (see her happy smile peeking out from behind the quilt?)

Carolyn Stegman likes t pick things up from the free and sale tables she passes.  These two are for community service (above and below)

This little placemat is also something Carolyn found on a free table.  

Eula Serrino made this for the family reunion raffle- but is not sure she really wants to give it  up (it's SOO cute!)

This one is a gift for Eula's grand niece's graduation.  

Tracy Jachimowicz got the kit for this from one of our program presenters last year and is happy to have it finished just in time!

Long time friend of the guild, Linda Hunter, stopped in today to give us some great ideas for using up those pre-cuts we all love: jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm squares.  (Be honest- you have some in your stash, don't you?)

This one uses 5 inch squares.  It's a free pattern at Pat Sloan's website!

This was made from jelly rolls!

Linda didn't make this one, but she reverse engineered it to use 5 inch squares!

Missed the meeting? Linda provided handouts!  Ask a friend for a copy of theirs!

(PS- I miss the stage for getting nice pictures!  Any suggestions for improving show and tell visibility that does NOT require members to stand on chairs while holding the quilts??)

Next month is our annual picnic at Dewitt Park in Batavia!  See your newsletter for details!
