First Meeting of 2014

First of all I want to shout, " WELCOME BACK" to Celeste Benefield  We missed you!

Well our first meeting for 2014 was a great meeting, we usually don't have our first meeting in February but last month we had a snow day on our meeting day so no meeting. I was glad because I was out of town and hated to miss a meeting.

Sue won the door prize. And it was of course fabric.

The person hiding behind this quilt is a master quilter. She does not like her picture taken but we know who you are.

Don't have much to write........  Chuck and I went to a very nice little quilt shop in Trenton Kentucky.  It's only about 7 miles from  Clarksville off exit 1 from route 24.  Wonderful batiks, many patterns and samples made up......Kathy.

Love this quilt. 

So beautiful.

Like, love, this quilt.

Pat made her t shirt. She did a great job.

Denise does marvelous applique. Isn't this beautiful ?

More applique from Pauline. This is going to be a beautiful quilt also.

Oh don't you just love love this messenger bag Kimmy made from a pair of bib overalls.

The guild made this quilt the year I joined and I won it. I just thought I would bring it so it can visit with the guild again.

This is a fabric bouquet that we give to members that have been sick or in hospital. 

Judith And Glenn at The Quilt Show in Arizona

From Judith Putnam:

I had a good excuse for missing the February Guild meeting.  I was in Phoenix, Arizona at the AQS Quilt Show.   My husband and I visited Pat Palmer at her “winter home”.  She and Gayle Saville, who also winters there, and Glenn and I all went to the show together and enjoyed all the quilts, vendors and even took a class.  My quilt “Gee’s Ocean” hung at the show.  We did lots of sightseeing and Pat took us to sixteen quilt shops, eight in one day.   We had a great time and hope to visit again.  Check out these photos:

December 2013 Guild Meeting and Party

Yeah! I (Doreen) won the door prize.  And I love the beautiful 5 fat quarters that I won.

This is candid picture of Kimmy.

This pattern was part of a mystery quilt challenge that we had.
The following photos show all the different quilts. What a difference
the fabrics make.

We all had so much fun with this challenge.

I think I only had to rip mine apart 2 time. 

Delicious food on the table.

Different versions of the same pattern.

I loved all of the quilts. Can't wait to get mine quilted.

I really loved this one that Kathy D made. 

I love this one, I can't tell you who made it I don't remember. But I know it is someone's
Christmas blocks. I recognize that block with the brown star, is the block I made.

It is interesting how the simplest pattern can be so beautiful.

Marion G made this beauty with civil war era fabrics.

I love the colors and the design. Perfectly on point.

This is the back of Marion's quilt

We were all delighted when Helen B showed all the Christmas stockings she made for her family
She also said that she was going to hang them from a line in the living room. What a great idea.

Kathy D showed the most beautiful miniature quilts she created

some more of Helen's family stockings

Each stocking is unique. She hand embroidered each one.

Yep that is Kathy D behind that miniature quilt. Beautiful isn't it?

Kimmy crocheted some hats. They are so nice. 

These are item donated by the members for our white elephant auction. We had a blast with this.
The rule is, no one gets to leave without buying one item. 

The canned items happened to be the best sellers.

Kathy G has created some beautiful quilts.

We all agreed that Kathy G should teach this technique at one of the meetings.
I will definitely like that 

Sue A made this delicious coconut pie. 

Catherine D made this beauty

We elected new officers for the next 2 years. And we are all looking forward to an interesting learning experience.
We would also like to wish you all a Happy New Year. 2014
