May 2021 Show & Tell

Helen Shaver has two quilts to show.



She says "One of our neighbors is having girl twins any day. I found these 
panels on line and thought they were darling!  Easy gift!


 She says "Finished my Big QU mystery quilt!"


Martha Dyckes has two quilts to show.

She says "A quilt I did in a Jean Herman workshop some years ago."




She says "This is a quilt I made to remember a bike trip I took with my daughter along the Rhine River some years ago.  It shows some of the places we stopped, some where we are and some where we were just plain silly."


Cynthia Johnson has a quilt to show



She says "This is a photo of Infinity Fans, which will be in the virtual QU show. In February 2020 I attended QuiltCon and took a workshop taught by Sarah Bond. Sarah’s Infinity Fan block was inspired by a traditional Grandmother’s Fan quilt. The blocks are paper pieced. My layout of the blocks is different from the quilt that Sarah made."


This is Veronica Abrams' Dresden Quilt which will be in the QU Show.


Rickie Frost has 2 charity quilts to show.




Tina Wujick has a number of projects to show.
