"Mystic Leaves" Challenge on Display!

 

The entries in the "Mystic Leaves" (the name of the fabric) were put on display in the gallery room at the Richmond Memorial Library last Saturday, and will be available for viewing during library hours for the month of February. 
(Please call ahead if you're driving very far to make sure there are no meetings/ classes in the gallery before your visit)
Here- in no particular order, since Blogger arranges things however it pleases- are the entries.  Information for each one is either included in the picture, or just below each entry. ( I missed a couple labels, so I'll add those later as well.)

All visitors are encouraged to vote for the "Viewer's Choice" award. 
  Members- PLEASE try to visit to make your choices for the awards using the member ballots. These awards will be announced at the march meeting.
 Separate awards will be given by Patty Cline of Chestnut Bay Quilting on February 10th. These will be added to the post after that date.

Challenge Sneak Peek!

 Martha has been waiting for nearly a year to see how people used her choice of fabric for the 2026 challenge, and the members who participated did not disappoint!!

But first, some members were working on quilts for other purposes.

Gwen Carlson Made this sweet quilt for a new grandbaby using a kit she found at Chestnut Bay>  The bears are colored with crayons.


Elaine Ross found this beautiful panel at Chestnut Bay as well, and made this gorgeous wall hanging.

 
                Elaine Moodie tried Laura Heine's techniques to make this flag quilt.


                             Pat Gardner is getting back to her machine with this bag from a kit.


Liz Scott had to get busy when she discovered her stash of baby quilts had been depleted. This one is for a great nephew.
                                                And this is for the baby after that....

                                         And this is for the baby after that!
                                                                     All are made from panels.
