Kathy's Cornhusker Quilt

I finally got a picture of Kathy's cornhusker quilt and wanted to post it here. She made this for a soldier serving in the military with her son overseas. He was from Nebraska and what says Nebraska better than corn. Great job Kathy.

2 NEW CHARITY QUILTS

Here are my charity quilts 1 and 2 for 2011. They both also qualify for no buy quilts and UFO's finished. The orange one is one I cut up and made one sqaure about a year ago. Thisis the pattern the ladies were learning in the January meeting. Once they get finished I'll post those pictures.

The purple one looks like it has a bit of yellow but it doesn't. I took the picture in the bedroom and I think they light was shining on the camera. But it still looks pretty.

No. 2 for 2011

I'm posting this on Faithquilters because I gave it away as a gift. It's the Prism pattern in the Fons and Porter magazine. I think it came out really pretty.

MY NEWEST

I have this posted on my personal blog but I put it here as well since it's for someone else. My daughter wanted a quilt with purple and orange for her friend. I got every shade of orange I could find but I had to add some greens as well. I think it came out really nice.

PRISCILLA'S QUILT

I think I may have forgotten to post this quilt. Priscilla joins us sewing once in a while and this is a quilt she finished in December I believe. It is really pretty.

READY FOR A NEW YEAR

The ladies met in December and we had an in-house lunch and worked on UFO projects. Now we're gearing up for the new year. We'll be meeting the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. The 1st is just for anyone that wants to come sew and the 3rd will be a planned day as we've done in the past.

I'm trying to get a little more organized this year so I actually set up a schedule of projects for the year. Beginning in January we'll rotate every other month between a project and UFO days. January starts with the pattern Lucky Stars (picture attached) and then February is UFO, a project in March, etc.

I tried to be a little diverse this year and add in some smaller projects like tote bags and purses so the ladies don't get so many UFO's. I'll post their pictures as we roll along in 2011.

SEPTEMBER PICTURES

Here is a picture of my Prism top I made for the ladies sample. Also included is a picture of Kathy & Ruth sewing. Jean got away before I could get a picture.
