KATHY AT IT AGAIN

I can barely quilt the tops fast enough for this woman. She is doing an amazing job of finishing up some of her quilt tops. I believe she made this one as a special gift for a friend of her's that requested a pink quilt. As always - great job Kathy. Are you going to have any left to work on for UFO month?

ALISON - WOW A GREAT QUILT

Here is Alison's first ever charity quilt. I think it might also be the first quilt she's done with our group. She did a greally great job taking simple 4in squares and making them into a really pretty quilt. The colors are really pretty together and her piecing was nicely done. She's a great addition to our group. Can't wait to see what else she comes up with. If I remember correctly she has a Sand Castle in the works.

KATHY'S GOING STRONG THIS MONTH

You've seen Kathy's lion quilt but she's been a busy lady. This is a Simple Simon pattern and she did a really good job of picking colors. The contrast was really good. Kathy you've come a long way - great job.

RUTH'S MAGIC TILE

Here is another quilt ready to go. Ruth made her husband and sister each a Magic Tile in bright primary colors with black grouting. Ed's has black grouting with small colored dots. These came out simply stunning and she did an amazing job of putting everything together. The back was done in card pattern farbic as Ed loves to play poker. Great job Ruth.

KATHY'S LION QUILT

Wow we have gone from no new pictures to an abundance of them. The ladies have certainly been busy. Here is one Kathy just finished. It certainly made the rounds. I cut the squares a couple of years ago and never did anything with them and they passed to a previous group member. She started sashing one or two blocks and didn't finish so it was passed along to Kathy who finished sashing the blocks, added some really nice border fabric and put everything together. It's now with the charity quilts for future use. She did an excellent job finishing this up.

JUNE WORKSHOP

June workshop was the pattern called Hole in One. This month we had Kathy & Ruth and both were able to get quite a bit done. I believe they each went home with all their blocks completed. Now all they have to do is piece all the blocks together and their new quilt top is ready. Here's a picture of the ladies sewing away.

July is UFO day so maybe a few more things will get finished. I have one quilted and will post the pictures as soon as I get the binding on. ANd I just quilted 2 for Kathy so we'll post those when the binding is done.

FINALLY A PICTURE

Well we finally have one done completely so I can post a picture. Here is Ruth's first charity quilt for 2010. In fact, I think it's the second quilt she started. She just joined our group about 2 months ago and has already made 3 or 4 quilts. She made 2 magic tiles which were simply stunning, a couple of baby quilts and this. I'll post those pictures here as soon as she's finished all the binding. Nicely done Ruth. We look forward to more in the future.
