Gay made this beautiful stain glass window quilt that she adapted from the pattern Stain Glass Windows from Quilty Love. She has it hanging in her kitchen. She also provided some close ups of the beautiful quilting.

                           

Gay also made this quilt top from the recent Modern Quilt Guild Journal titled, Porfee.

December Meeting

Our final meeting of 2020, we met over Zoom and many of us are getting better at sharing our screens. I am always amazed at the many talented people that are in our group. Here's bit of what they've been sewing.

December Meeting Minutes

Here's Donna's quilt from our IMPROV workshop. 

Debbie L designed this quilt top.

Debbie and Donna created these mug rugs for family and friends this holiday season.

Gay created these quilts with a holiday theme from Laundry Basket Quilt Fabric using fabric from her stash.

           

And this one is a gift. It's from the Missouri Star Quilt Company using a half hexi chain pattern.  The fabric is Baltimore Blues by Barbara Brackman for Moda.

Cordell enjoys using her stash to create her quilts. These quilts are heading to grandnieces  as gifts. She used fabric from her stash, church banners, exchange fabric from CAMQG and even kitchen curtains.

                                           

This quilt is titled, "Time of Our Lives". Cordell created this quilt for the Cornerstone Coffee Shop in Camp Hill where our guild will be displaying some quilts.

Debby M. created these two quilts for her grandchildren this month.

Wishing you a safe holiday and a peaceful and healthy new year!
