Susan Proctor displayed two carseat covers and a “Christmas Tree Skirt “. The skirt is made from gold fabric with a strip bias and ricrac to join the holly trim.

“Goin’ Truckin” carseat cover has a brown background with the backing and trucks from different fabrics. Susan designed this especially because the Daddy drives truck.

“Goin’ Flying” carseat cover has a background that is dark blue with little white dots like clouds. The propellers are yellow on the helicopters. This baby’s Daddy is a pilot.

Sylvia Kent presented “Herd from Farm to Fair”, an original design for the Utah State Fair Quilt Challenge. The fabric was farm animal faces; the theme was ‘Animal Party’, and the size was to be 24” x 36” or smaller. She made a pieced, embroidered, and appliquéd row quilt showing animals in different parts of the fair. Her quilt won 1^st place in Best Original Design and Best of Show overall! Way to go!!

Sylvia also presented “Fruit of the Spirit”, an adaptation of Words to the Wise in BH&G Quilt Sampler, Spring/Summer, 2007. This quilt is done in reds, greens, and golds with pieced squares, and wool and cotton appliqué similar to Pennsylvania Dutch samplers.

Machelle Preston presented a “Quilt of Valor, 2011”. Of course, it is red/white/blue and has a lovely blue toile in the border.

Wanda Sump showed three quilts. She made a “Halloween Quilt” out of fun Halloween colors that is all appliquéd except for the candy corn, which she cut with her cricut! She did all the blanket stitching while attending education week!

Wanda also made a “Halloween Wallhanging” out of the ‘leftovers’ from the quilt.

Her “Floral Applique Quilt” was cut from a jelly roll. It has needle-turned appliqué in spring colors. Wanda incorporated the ‘ugly’ jelly roll pieces on the back of the quilt!

Annie Thayne showed two memory quilts made by her sister’s granddaughter for her parent’s 50^th anniversary. One has photos of their six children; the other has all the grandchildren’s names incorporated into the quilt.

Brenda Sommers displayed “Crab Man” that she made for her son for Christmas (he’s known to be a little crabby at times)! The Going Costal fabric and the pattern in a medallion design are from Crazy Old Ladies. The back is yummy, light blue minkee.
