Finding renewed enthusiasm!

At the November meeting, there was a nice discussion of why we meet and what  the focus of the group will be moving forward.  After show and tell, of course. 


 Kathi's love of all things vintage played a big part in the creation of this lovely little piece.


 At the quilt show in October, Kathi had to have the layer cake of Tula Pink fabrics, and has been making hexies with it!

Martha cut up a quilt she made several years ago and created the bag above, and the "Catzilla" below with the parts she saved. 



Chris made a fleece throw as a gift using a technique she found online.


This picture will serve as a visual record of the order for our next group project (Martha should be between Kathi and Lori. We'll be passing things around in the same order for a while, and need to remember.  :-)

The group has committed to inspiring one another, teaching one another and respecting each other's suggestions and ideas.  We may not have a lot to show for a while, but we will be working together and having fun!

The slice quilt is finished!

The slice quilt was finished in time to hang at the Museum Quilt Guild show in October.  The quilt, made by (left to right) Susan Rathbun, Kathi Everett, Mary Ellen Casey, Mary Kozub and Chris Kuehl, won the award for the best group quilt. 
The president of the New York State Quilters Consortium also selected it as her Award of Excellence winner.  All of the quilts selected at member shows across the state will be part of a special display at the next Consortium quilt show ( I think).


Congratulations, Ladies!!!
