SSQSG- May

I just came back home from our fun and productive meeting in this afternoon.


Starting off from Show & Tell!

Cheryl designed and pieced this farbulous quilt top. She is working on the pattern to be available some time soon. I love these "Reds" by Judie Rothermel's line...


Another finished quilt by her.


Then Christmas tree skirt and


Schnibbles quilt by Pauleen.


This one was a class piece and she machine quilted as her very first time. It doesn't show clearly, but the feather pattern looked gorgeous on the borders.


It's a huge applique quilt. Some Homespun fabrics are used and they make the whole entire block looks nice and cozy.



And here is my finished quilt tops I brought to show off ;) Lori Smith's quilt is done now.


These Dresdens are today's project taught by Christine. They are actually the miniature Dresdens! Can you tell how tiny they are?



The above is my practice one with a rotary cutter. Now you can see the size of the motives... I still have to find a center piece to cover.


A scrap piece for a blade for Dresden is sitting right next to the 5" Charm Pack.


We had a lot of fun making these tiny ones while chatting about what we all have missed since out last meeting.






While we were all working on our Dresdens, Christine was sewing these blocks with also from Judie Rothermel's line.


The above is something I made before starting my Dresden by just pieced the left over scraps from the blades to be. It's an unfinished wonky pincushion as I didn't have the stuffing with me to finish it! Just because Cheryl expressed she liked those fabrics as I was cutting, I quickly made it for her. It's called "19 Century Reds". But she has to finish it on her own. What a deal, isn't it?


And the last one, but not the least for sure is Christine's Friendship quilt's signature blocks. She had whole bunch of them already have signed by her on-line quilty friends and we did the same for her today. Lovely Jo Morton's fabrics are used for the blocks.

That's about it for today's meeting. About the next month? Well, as the summer coming by, about a half of us are leaving town for their summer vacation places during the heat time, we don't know how we would like to plan for the next few meetings yet. Hopefully we can still meet up together and share our passion...

Off to make more miniature Dresdens before the dinner time ;)
