She also made her EQ7 quilt...

and this awesome bag!  Way to go, lady!

Lynn made a beautiful hat as a Christmas gift, and showcases a lot of lovely handmade presents her family received from loved ones.  Such a nice looking holiday!

Becky has a lovely quilt-top finished!  I love these adorable houses. 

And Ronit shows us a sneak-peek of an amazing interlockinig stars quilt.  Can't wait to see the whole thing!

 Happy New Year, gang!  And to those of you attending the retreat - have a blast!  Wish I could join you guys.

Weekly Round-Up

Hello everybody!  Let's take a look at what everyone's been crafting this past week...

Emily has a beautiful quilt-top basted and ready to quilt... 

and her afghan is coming along nicely!

Debbie made this fabulous Triangle Maze quilt for giveaway week.  Love the color combinations, and the idea of using different colors of thread for the vertical and horizontal quilting lines!

Brenda wrote up a very helpful review of EQ7.  If you're thinking about purchasing the software, it is definitely worth the read.   She's working on a quilt she designed using the program!  Can't wait to see.

Speaking of Brenda, Lynn made a quilt called "Brenda's Stars" and now Brenda is selling a bundle of fabric that you can buy to re-create Lynn's beautiful quilt.  Very cool!

Lynn also is working on quilting this amazing blanket featuring 3-inch liberated stars.   I'm so inspired by her quilting design and her incredible precision!

Kathy is making these glorious roses, and reading her post about trouble-shooting a problematic design was fascinating!

I have been cranking out these "quilted" ornaments...

and I made this reverse-appliqued table runner.

Becky has made herself some cute pillowcases! 

and Ronit is working on this really awesome October do Good Stitches bee quilt.  I love this block!

Probably there will not be a round-up next weekend, what with all of the festivities.   Happy holidays!

Weekly Round-Up

Here is our weekly (woops - bi-weekly) round-up covering the last two weeks in crafts for our quilt guilders!

Brenda made this fabulous quilt.  I love the fabric choices!

and check out this pillow she made for a swap!  I'm totally nuts for it!

Lynn has more teal and orange stars from her bee buddies! 

Debbie found another color option of her Shadow Boxes quilt... (it has an awesome pieced back - check it out):

and she showed us her ornament and Kathy's, which were made for our swap.  So cute!!

I made two more Swoon pillows - this time in shades of green and for me to keep : )

Ummm... have you seen this adorable house ornament Emily made?  I can assure you it was the envy of all guild members at the ornament swap. So. Cute.

Meeting Minutes from 11/30/11

We had a wonderful meeting Wednesday night at MakerWorks.

Important Dates:

• Next Sew-In: Sunday, Dec 11th - 12pm - 4pm at Maker Works
• Next Meeting: Wednesday, Dec 28th - 6:30pm Meeting at Maker Works

What to bring for the next meeting:  If you want to participate in another "Yankee Swap," bring three fat quarters of fabric.

Old Business:

• The Quilting Retreat is fast approaching!  If you are interested in going but haven't told Brenda yet, please do.  Please also pay her the $50 deposit.  And if you are interested in car-pooling, please also let Brenda know. 
• Guild Membership cards were distributed.  With these cards you can get discounts at many quilting and fabric supply stores.
• Our charity quilts will be completed after the new year and distributed to Safe House and Mott's Children's Hospital.

New Business:

• If you are interested in teaching a sewing class (like a "make and take") or a knitting/crocheting class at Maker Works, contact Thea. 
• There is a new fabric store opening this weekend (Dec 3) on State Circle.  
• Things to ponder: Are we interested in actively pursuing new members?  Are you as excited as I am about silk-screening some A2MQG t-shirts?  What about re-electing officers next month?

We then did show-and-tell and the ornament swap.

Just a note: there will be no Sew-In for January, due to the retreat. 

Till next time!
