December Meeting

Here's What CAMQG Has Been Up To! What's Coming up? Meeting: Holiday Gathering

Tuesday, December 21, 2021

Sew and Share

Janet made a quilt based on a Weeks Ringle pattern and did her own free motion quilting. 

 

Kristen showed her holiday wall-hangings for fall and winter. 

Gay and her daughter April had a fun time with a new pattern "Rocky Candy" by Jay Bird Quilts. The Sidekick ruler makes quick work of making the pieces. 

These are the same fabrics but with a different background. 

Amazing how much impact one change can make.

Challenge Quilts!

Cordell had challenged the members to make something that showed at least three of the principals of modern quilting.... 

Cordell and her modern placemats

Debbie used a vintage dresden plate and negative space to make a wallhanging.

April used modern fabrics to update the traditional hexagon block.

Gay also used modern fabric and geometric design.

Kyla  made a kimono out of quilt she made. This was her first time using a clothing fabric. Love her enthusiasm to try something she has never done!
