So Many Wonderful May Projects!
Our fellow guild members brought us lots of interesting and beautiful projects to this month's meeting. We also saw more donations of tops to the Quilts of Valour project.
First up is the May Show & Tell!
Carla F. brought her Christmas wall hanging "Keep Christmas in Your Heart". Following is a picture of her colourful backing.
Mary Anne M. showed us two recent finishes today - two lap quilts. The second one she is keeping for herself in wonderful fall colours.
Liz R. attended a workshop on paper piecing and completed this "Peace Cranes over Hiroshima"
This quilt is followed by another of Liz's completions - a scrap quilt in the "Sunshine & Shadows" pattern.
Brenda C. showed us her embroidered project - a book/toy holder that ties to the back of the front seats of the vehicle to keep little ones amused. Each dinosaur is a pocket. So nice to see Brenda back with us again.
Marge D. is expecting a new granddaughter and has her sheep all ready to keep her granddaughter warm. So cute!
Traci M. has made this beauty for donation to Quilts of Valour - in the pattern
"Trip Around the World"
Constance H. combined crumb quilt blocks with 6" square - what a great way to use up those little bits and pieces. Constance did hers in a truly scrappy style.
June G. always has many projects on the go and this month June has finished her table runner that she quilted herself as well as her stash busting "Sunshine & Shadows" quilt. Keep them coming, June.
Bertha M. is another of our very busy members and always has something new to show. This month it's her "Square in a Square" quilt.
I believe Cecile G. loves a challenge. Many years ago she got the finished flower portions of the nosegays and went on to add the green flower holders and finished the quilt, which is hand quilted. Beautiful work, Cecile.
Don C. showed us two wonderful quilts he has recently finished. Both are truly "Canadian" quilts for donation to Quilts of Valour. Someone had thought the second one was a little too American, so Don Canadian-ized it with maple leaves and Canadian flags.
The following are all donations to the Quilts of Valour. Unfortunately, I do not have a donator's name for all of them.
Made by Diane K.
Made by Anita S.
Made by Marge D.
Made by Joyce N. This started out as one large quilt and Joyce split it and made it into two.
Joyce N. also made this quilt from the leftovers of the two hexi quilts.
Pauline L. made our final quilt of the morning, using 2 1/2" strips.
