Visitors from California
The four photos above are representatives from the Quilts of Honor group visiting from California. The Marine Corp Museum was closed and Mt. Vernon graciously opened their doors to this group so they could display and present their quilts to America's heros. This group of women came to the Variety Store to shop and Dianne Tippins invited them to our meeting.
Regular Show & Tell
Lynn Miller - Glads on the Rail Fence - Based on a pattern in Sandy Turner's Big Pink Quilts book
Lynn Miller - Big Bang - Pattern - Turkey Foot - I call this "Big Bang" because it has bright stars and black holes. It is quilted every 1/4 inch. The block pattern was used in a quilting magazine to demonstrate methods of machine applique.

Libby Dudley - Strings and Things - for the Use It Up challenge MVQU 2012-2013. Was finished in time for the September reveal but was out of town.
Libby Dudley - Lapis Mosaic in Blue - Collected all my scrappy blue strips, mostly narrower than 2 inches and went to town. Still have plenty! Reminds me of an ancient stone floor. The daisy border is from a dear relatives stash. So happy to find a good home for it.
T Carter - Stained Glass - Turning Twenty 5, Simply Sashed by Tricia Cribbs - I pieced this quilt top for St. John's Lutheran Church, Alexandria, VA. The women of the Creative Ministry (Donna, Cathy, Norma, Darleen, Barbara and T) quilted it by hand. We will raffle Stained Glass at our annual craft fair on Saturday, November 9, 2013. Hope to see you there! The fabric selections: I co-mingled a variety of batiks, hand-dyes, mottles and prints. The black fabric is a Kona solid by Robert Kaufman. The back is Stonehenge by Northcott.
