May meeting and Spot Light

May meeting minutes


Our member spotlight this month was Cindy Todoroff.

Cindy started quilting 10 years ago. Her passion is landscape quilts. She enjoys creating pictures and all her quilted wall hangings are hung throughout her house. She has used books and even took a class in Italy to inspire her designs.

Here are some of the quilts she shared with us.


          

          

          

The next 4 quilts were created by Cindy and can be found hanging in her church. The scenes are from the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg.

She also made this stunning jacket from a Vogue pattern. She does all her own fabric designs.














Cindy made this  great Clydebank Tote from Sew Sweetness by Sara Lawson. The pattern is free and can be found online. She also made this colorful quilt using various cottons. She used the "quilt as you go" technique to put the blocks together. The pattern is Marvelous Mosaic from the book Walking Foot Quilting by Leah Day.
