Serendipity rules!

For our February meeting, we had too late thought of having the meeting in the gallery where the challenge quilts are hanging.  As luck would have it, the library reassigned us there anyway!

We enjoyed being surrounded by the creativity and it gave us a chance to share our own process and vote for our favorites!

Kathi brought along her current stitching project, which she says will probably be a bag. 

Mary Ellen is working on a new appliqué project- one she doesn't plan to have finished any time soon, but she likes having something small to bring along when the occasion allows.  

Lori has been working on some UFOs  This one is all hand done.

 And this one was to use a few scraps. 

Elaine put some of her wet cyanotype prints together with crystals to create a winter solstice!

Chris is working on a wool felt pincushion.

Chris also brought along a work in progress to get some advice.  This sweet kitten was supposed to be part of her challenge entry.

Cynda had already given this quilt to her doctor. It was made from one of her sow-dyed fabrics.  She saw sunflowers in the design, so she cut petals and hand-sewed them to the fabric.



 













Martha had finished her "Paisley zentangle fusion" from a class last October

                          Martha had also finished the last of her embellishment pieces .

Below are all three together.  Inspired by the same thing, but very different.

And that brings us up to date.

Not much to show right now.

At the January meeting, there wasn't much show and tell because most of us were still trying to get our entries for the Museum Quilt Guild challenge finished.

Mary Ellen had brought hers along.  She was inspired by her granddaughter, who was naughty when she hid her peas, but is very nice when she's with her friends.

Martha brought two of her embellishment pieces which she had finished.  All are based on a roadside weed she enjoys seeing in the summer.

Susan had done a small hexie mat, using the technique where each one has batting inside and then are whip-stitched together.

You'd think I could have made this short post on time, wouldn't you?

Falling behind- post 1 of 3

I would  have sworn I at least did a post in November, when the ladies working on the slice project revealed their work.

This is Four of the Five slices laid together. It's going to be amazing when it's finished!

 And now I can't remember whose was whose.  I think this might be Mary Ellen's.

And this might be Susan's?

 

And I completely missed getting a picture of the third one, which would be Chris', if I got the first two right.  They looked great together!  Whoever's it was had questioned the placement of one of the trees.  (the middle section)

In between admiring the slices, Lori was working on her crazy quilt, which was her embellishment project.

Martha was knitting socks...

...but had  brought along her embellishment projects to share progress. 

 We cancelled our December meeting due to chancy weather, so there's only two more meetings to get things all caught up.  See you soon.
