Show and Tell...
Karen W. couldn't be with us, but sent the following project photos:
Patti shared a phone photo of the commission library quilt top that she just finished. She forwarded this photo, so that we could get a better look at the cats. It measures approximately 51” x 63” and will be quilted by Suzan at Singing Stitches:
Ann:
Started a fun new baby quilt. Her first Quilt as You Go project:
Missouri Star Quilt Company has kits available which include precut batting hexis to go with the templates:
Ann has a niece and a nephew expecting baby boys this summer:
She told us about a ruler quilting class at Bernina World of Sewing...
It's offered virtually and students end up with this table runner:
Sherry:
Had questions about binding her double sized Grandmother's Fan quilt that she had finished the quilting on:
Sherry also asked if anyone had experience with any kind of portrait quilts, as her son's dog died and she would like to make him a quilt:
Joy:
Her niece's wedding quilt is done:
Joy made this pin cushion for the Show Your Stripes Blog Hop:
Her next project may be these YELLOW basket off-cuts for another new pin cushion:
Joy's most recent finish was this YELLOW table topper for this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge:
She also showed the process of making Where's Jackson in response to Sherry's pet portrait question:
Maggie:
Finished her Table Scraps runner:
Maggie also re-finished her Convergence quilt, by removing the corners and re-binding the table topper:
Kirsten stitched as the group chatted:
She is binding her entry for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge that Joy is hosting:
She also shared binding techniques used on this mini quilt:
Kirsten used another method for the binding on this quilt:
The main thing is to make sure that a seam doesn't end up landing at a corner of your quilt, as that makes it too hard to fold to the other side:
Karen V:
Loom knitting baby hats...
During this meeting and lectures at QuiltCon Together:

Just finished her first (and last) commission quilt top:
The cats were done using fusible applique:

Completed her yellow runner for Joy's challenge:
The hummingbird is paired with String blocks, just barely in view:
