October guild meeting

We had lots of fun at our guild meeting in October. We enjoyed each others company and shared the things that we had been working on. From our question of the month we learned that most of the guild members have multiple sewing machines for a variety of reasons and that we all have our favorite brands. Several members have treadle machines that have been in the family for a long time.
We also enjoyed a delicious lunch together and had a very enjoyable morning.
Here are the pictures that were taken and they give you an  idea of the talent in the guild.

Our alphabet blocks for the month of October and November are X, Y and Z which will finish our year long project. The blocks are all beautiful and it really is fun to see the different color combinations that everyone has chosen. We are anxious to see the finished products.


Ellie finished her Perfectly Imperfect quilt and it is so cute. She did a great job and then had Pam quilt it for her. She also did a great job.
 Ellie wanted us to see the back of her quilt to show the quilting job.
 Mariel cut the blocks apart from a panel and made this darling Christmas quilt.
 This very beautiful Christmas quilt was a round robin project. She used trapunto to make Santa Claus stand out. Great job!
 Joan showed her finished animal and quilt for our service project. She used a block that she already had to make the little quilt. So cute and some child will love this.

 Joan also showed us this colorful Christmas block that she is going to make into a place mat for a friend.
 Micky is loving doing hand applique because of NetFlix. Very cute block.
Pam finished another gorgeous landscape picture. This one is for her daughter and is from a photo of Zion. What talent Pam has and we all loved this piece of art.
 Jeanette made this little quilt for our service project from a panel. It will be a treasure for a little child.
 Jeanette also made this very striking quilt from strips. She did a great job and learned a lot about sewing strips together and keeping them flat.
