Pauline's Quilts



 Pauline calls this one "Fall Appointment".  The photo doesn't do the pretty colors justice. 
She calls this one "Summer's Promise". 

Sheila's T-shirt Quilt

 Sheila made this for her son, Peter. 


Phyllis's Quilts

 Phyllis always uses soft, restful color palettes. 

Camp Stitchee Gume - Winter 2013

 
We had a wonderfully large turn-out at our family's semi-annual quilt get-together!
And with all of the little ones, you would be justified in wondering how we accomplished anything at all.  But most of the time, the ratio was 9 women to 3 babies - so we prevailed! 
 

 If you look closely at the following photos, you'll find that they all contain the white and gold chevron fabric.  It was chosen by our youngest inductee and is a little outside most of our comfort zones.  Never-the-less, we each incorporated it into "something stitched" using a technique we had never done before.

This was another group project.  They are wall quilts inspired by Carol Taylor's "Arcitexture" class. 

JoAnn's Yellow Brick Road

 

 JoAnn's fabric choices led to a pinecone pantograph with red and green thread.  Sounds Christmassy - but it isn't!  It will be a great year-round sofa throw. 

Jean's Crossing Paths

This would make a good wall quilt.  My eyes love to follow the pattern. 

Linda's Snowballs and Roses

 Linda made this pretty quilt for her mom. 

Lynne's Cirlce Quilt

 The photos don't do justice to the beautiful fabrics Lynne chose for her quilt.

Liz's Quilts

 Liz loves simple Asian inspired fabrics and patterns. 
 

 
Liz makes several Quilts of Valor each year.  This one is simple and striking. 
 

Cindy's Scrap Quilt

Don't even ask how many different fabrics are in this quilt!
