CAMQG September Meeting Updates

The minutes from the September meeting are available here.

Our members have been busy this month!  We saw many projects in the popular Sew and Tell section of our meeting:

Pat says that this is her “standard donation quilt”. It is made from five pinks and four grays, and is quilted with a breast cancer ribbon pattern.  She also recommends checking out the teal mini-swap, which she participated in this year. Look for it on Facebook and think about participating next year!







Barb says that she really likes to embroider, and many of her quilts include embroidery. She bought this Red Riding Hood pattern a few years ago, and made a few changes including taking out some outlining, and added some embellishment.














Amy says, “I showed this partially done, but now it is actually done!”












Mary Ellen made this small art quilt when the hurricane was coming, saying that she did it to keep busy and not be worried.  She saw this pattern when she was taking a class at a quilt show, and this was a class next door.  The mosaic shapes are made from a variety of fabrics and 2-sided adhesive.  There is a tulle overlay that you quilt over the top.












Marla made this quilt for her 8-year-old grandson, with fabric ordered from Japan.  The fabric is special because it features characters from Japanese books he likes.  She thought the fabric was pretty busy, so she added gray to tone is down.









Debbie was in Alaska for three weeks this summer.  Her tradition is to pick a souvenir of either yarn or fabric. On this trip she selected these laser cut salmon and then made two table runners because two salmon came in the package.








Gay just took this Halloween quilt off the longarm.  She says that she is all ready for Halloween, she just needs a broom!
















Melanie says that she loves Atkinson Design patterns because they are so fabric efficient.
