In November, we were lucky enough to have our own Helen Butler share her fabulous applique tips, she is an amazing quilter and her applique is beautiful.  She shared lots of great tips to help us with our applique.

 

Thanks, Helen!

Park City Retreat!

We had a wonderful retreat up in Park City in the month of November.  There were fabulous classes, food, company and fun! (And a little snow storm!)

 

 

We had "Secret Sisters" who left little goodies like these fabric "candies" at our sewing stations while we were not looking.  Below are some of the cute "granny square" blocks from one of the classes:

There was a pin cushion exchange and the pincushions were all adorable!!

We had a yummy chocolate night PLUS we got to wear our pajamas!

There was plenty of time to sew and visit!

The Snow!

A big thank you to the wonderful committee - headed by Lynette Rose and Marilyn Hamblin:

October Show & Tell

Darcia Pinette displayed "Child's Favorite Houses", an off-white whole cloth quilt that she quilted with the design of a carousel horse. Gorgeous!

Francine Berrett showed two quilts. "Farm House", a pattern by Edyta Sitar was made in country reds, blues & greens. "Snowball" is a scrappy quilt made with many different civil war fabrics.

Her "Farm House" quilt is on the left, and Rebecca Hansen also made "Farm House", hers is on the right, above.  Rebecca also put her leftover houses on the back and made a smaller wall hanging from the scraps.  She used batiks.  They both started their quilts at Ruby's Inn earlier this year. Way to finish!

Carol Hunt presented "Sunbonnet Sue" The blocks for this quilt were done in 2000 with her five granddaughters. The girls colored blocks with crayons which Carol then heat-set and combined into a unique quilt!

Gloria Hartley finished a "Mystery Quilt" through the Maple Mountain Guild. It features stars in blacks, golds and creams.

Thanks, ladies!

October Main Stage

For October, we had Laurie Price come from Broadbent's, she is an amazing creative, talented lady! She loves Halloween, as you can tell from her outfit, she was perfect for October!

She taught us about coloring on quilts and embroidery and even let us try it out on the fun samples she provided.  She also showed lots of beautiful embroidery:

Thanks Laurie!

October - Festival Of Trees Donations

Here are some of the beautiful Festival Of Trees Quilts that were donated by our Guild:

                                       The organizers were very grateful for our help!

October Hospitality

For the Hospitality Area, we had the Knotts Bee bring their round robin quilts:

For the Round Robin,  each quilter brought a center section and passed it around each month to all 5 or 6 other people in her group.  It was really fun to see what each member added to each quilt every month.
They also displayed another group effort - Row Quilts - Same idea, only each person added a row each month:

Thanks, Knott-y Ladies!!!

October Forum

We were privileged to have Vonda Proctor come and talk to us and teach us about "Strips and Scripts". Vonda does a great job putting words and sayings on her quilts.

She brought some beautiful quilts to show us:

She is an amazing artist!

Thanks, Vonda!!!
