Girl Gang Quilts - September 2018

It was so much fun to get back together after taking the summer off.  We missed you if you weren't here but send our love.  Our special love and prayers to Val who has been in and out of the hospital and having chemo for leukemia.  We love you Val and wish you the very best.

Brittany is always inspiring us with her amazing artsy quilts.

Improv Log Cabin.  Brittany did this play on a log cabin block.  It is so wonderful!

A close-up of the intricate quilting. 

Brittany has been busy using up scraps for this Improv Squares quilt.  The rich colors are so inspiring.

These 1/2 inch finished strips are put together
for the border.  

This striking Halloween block is one of nine out of Tula Pink fabric called DeLaLuna.
We can't wait to see the other blocks!

Liz's projects:

This cute flamingo is one of two for a baby quilt for a new granddaughter
due next month.

Liz has finished the Amish Grace quilt.  Norma's bold pattern.

And still working on blocks for Solstice Dream.  

Lorraine brought the most darling projects:

This is a Butternut Basin pattern and Lorraine's choice of wools and fabrics is perfect.

This nutcracker needlepoint is very fine work and so lovely.

This stitched wool egg is the second in
a set of three that Lorraine is doing.

Such a cute piece that Lorraine has made and had framed for her granddaughter.

Jennifer had been working on a super cute lap quilt for her sister-in-law:

Dogs in Sweaters is an Elizabeth Hartman pattern that is going to a sister-in-law
who loves dachshunds (had to look that spelling up!)

This cute doggie with the glasses will be made into a pillow
to go with the quilt.

Julie brought her sister Linda with her who we haven't seen for a while.  Great to have you back Linda.  They worked on these charming bunny quilts together.

Don't you love the difference in colors?  Each one has it's unique personality.
This pattern is called Run, Rabbit, Run by Heart to Hand.

Norma is not teaching classes on Wednesday and so it is also great to have her with us again.

Autumn is Norma's latest pattern.  The spunky squirrel in her back yard can be found on this quilt.

This is also a recent pattern - Birds of a Feather - in rich autumn colors.

Leslie shared her stunning Dear Jane quilt.  It is finished!

It took Leslie three months to hand quilt this lovely quilt.  It is a show stopper!

Every block is different.  Each amazing.

Notice the number of pieces in this quilt!  

Leslie continues to work on the Star-A-Day quilt.  The stars are small and each one is hand pieced.

Leslie said that each star takes one hour.  So, now you know!  

Leslie found the fabrics ready to go for this in a box that she had prepped
a long time ago.  It is the Calli Lou Sunflower quilt by Kay England. 
Notice the one yellow block out of a different fabric adds charm to this quilt.

We also welcomed back Beth Greenwood (not sure on the last name, sorry Beth)

Beth spends a lot of relaxing time crocheting
baby blankets like this beautiful white one.

Beth has made this sweet basket quilt and is hand quilting it.

Kathy Muir has finished her incredible Delilah quilt.  The pattern is by Jen Kingwell.

The colors in this quilt are bright and happy.  Each block is beautiful and interesting.
It is a beautiful quilt Kathy.  

Kathy put this custom label on the back of the quilt.
She used scissor fabric on the back because each block was cut by
hand with scissors.  No rotary cutting on this quilt.  It is fabulous!
