The Guild met for its regular monthly meeting November 18 at the Senior Adult Center in Benton. Pat Wade presented the last blocks for the 5:30 workshop and gave a few extra tips. She explained how to enlarge or reduce an applique pattern. (If I need something figured out that requires math I ask Pat!)
There were several who brought completed blocks from the 5:30 workshop but I didn't get pictures of them all. Here are the few I did get of Linda, Paulette and Beulah.
After the 5:30 workshop and the business meeting Cely Slover presented the program on her "Quilt Journey." She got interested in quilting when she saw her mother-in-law working on piecing some quilts. Most of what she has learned is self-taught. For several years she taught children with special needs and incorporated quilting into some of her classes. Her students loved this and she had several quilts that were made with blocks that they had created. Most, if not all of her quilts are hand quilted.
This is the front and back of a Halloween-themed table runner.
This is an Advent quilt with pockets.
This quilt was made from a pattern that Pat taught several years ago in a 5:30 workshop.
This is the "Snowbound" quilt that was taught by JoAnn in a 5:30 workshop.
After Cely's program we had show and tell. Sidney likes to make quilts with tiny squares. This one is called "Country Lanes."
Ann Ferguson made a quilted shawl.
Ann Prince made a reversible baby rail fence.
Cely had completed two more quilts for charity.
Cheri Johnson finished a quilt except for the binding and wanted to share it with us
because it is going to be a gift.
Betty Watterson finished a Razorback quilt.
What a talented group of quilters we have. I only wish my photography could convey that!
Until next time~~~Gwen
