September Quilt Guild Meeting

Our September guild meeting was a time for all of us to relax and enjoy time together after all the hard work of the quilt show. Nayna thanked everyone for all the hard work and then Marla told the story of the raffle quilt and the person that won it. Beautiful quilt Marla. 

Ilene show the new disappearing five patch and it sure does make a pretty block. 

Judy brought her block made from the ugly fabric game that we played last month. Way to follow through Judy. 

Mariel started show and tell with this colorful quilt. The back of the quilt is the real gem.

 Mariel is perfecting her machine quilting skills and did a different design on each block. Each one was beautiful and Mariel really did an amazing job. She will be ready to hire out soon. 

Marla showed this original quilt that she designed with her sister. It is a very unique quilt and everyone loved it. 

Alana showed her darling little stuffed animals and blankets that will be donated to the hospital. Good work Alana. 

Nayna was the mystery quilter for this month and she shared many of her treasure quilts. This is one of the first quilts she made. It was for a family reunion.

 This wall hanging was made for her bedroom many years ago.

 This quilt is indeed a treasure to Nayna because it was made by her Mother and sister in memory of her precious daughter.

 Cute Halloween wall hangings.

 This wall hanging was her first time working with wool. It won viewer's choice at the quilt show last year. Beautiful.

 The next two wall hangings were round robin projects.

 This beauty was ten years in the making and is hand quilted. Amazing work Nayna.

We finished the meeting with a delicious pot luck lunch, visited and thoroughly enjoyed each others company.

Western Legends Quilt Show

The Western Legends Quilt Show was a huge success!!!

Guild members rounded up their beautiful quilts and they were displayed attractively. Hundreds of people were in awe as they studied the quilts and many commented that the hardest thing they had to do was decide which two to vote on.

Enjoy a sample of the show. 

This display honors Alana Robinson as the fiber arts artist of the year. The arts council presented the award  to Alana and we are all very proud of her.

This display was dedicated to the memory of our dear friend Ellie Reese. She made beautiful quilts for her family and we all have sweet memories of her and we miss her very much.

The following display is from the Raising Kane Quilt Guild and shows the charity quilts made for the skilled nursing center. Also, the stuffed animals and blankets for the hospital to give to children that come through the hospital.

This display shows samples of Canyon Country Quilt Guild's many project made this year. It also showed many of the quilt tops that have been made for the Veteran's Home in Ivans. 

The wall hanging viewer's choice quilt winner was made by Nanelle Robinson.

View's choice winner was this butterfly quilt made by Alana Robinson.

Winners from last year.

Fred Chappel went above and beyond the duties of a quilter's husband by his willingness to make new stands for the quilts and also with the set up and take down of the show. Thank you Fred!

This is just a small sample of the many, many gorgeous quilts in the show this year. Thanks to everyone involved for all the effort and hard work.
