August Sewing Day



Summer is beginning to fade, the weather is changing and the nights are becoming darker and cooler - a great time to quilt! These photos are from our late August sewing day. 

This first photo is my quilt 'Bali Sunset' which I made from a jelly roll of batiks; the colours start off golden and progress to a very dark green and dark blue. After this photo was taken, I added a 2 1/2 inch border of the same light blue batik so that the quilt appears to float. (Judy is helping to hold the quilt!) 


These are some of Faye 2's beautiful Blocks of the Month from Daric's Tilted Quilt - very meticulous! 

 




This is one of the 3 placemats that Carole was making for 3 special little ones - the other placemats are a duck and 'something else', maybe a kitty! Adorable!!



This is Jane's 'Jacob's Ladder' from the Missouri Star Company's Block magazine. Jennie Doan has such fantastic patterns and tutorials and her quilts are always beautiful!  



Jane and Cheryl are discussing the layout - narrower and longer or wider and shorter? 


This is one of Myrtle's blocks from the Block of the Month - beautiful colour combination - it will be great to see all the different colour arrangements when everyone is done! 



This is a quilt top that Cheryl had made to donate - some lucky person will love this colourful quilt!



This is Judy's latest project - she is using a quilt pattern from the Quilt Patch in Moose Jaw, very nice!



 Another quilt of Carole's - very colourful!



 And two pillowcases that Carole made for 2  little visitors!

Faye 1 is working very hard to piece together her Block of the Month quilt ...
 


...it's looking great!


That's all for now, may your bobbin always be full!
