November 2024 Show & Tell



Carole Allen

These first two photos are of a baby quilt Carol Allen made for a friend’s grandchild.




Kathy Z -- front and back of a table runner


Helen has begun cutting out and piecing the center of her quilt.



Veronica Abrams --  machine embroidery for a tree skirt


The photo does not do justice to the amazing quilt Lynn Miller made. I think she called it Georgetown. Hand-pieced. Of course. Stunning.





Rickie showed us a kimono probably from the late 19th century, worn by a young Japanese woman to celebrate her 21st birthday.



Libby Dudley


This is a charity quilt made by Kathy Z. A really cute way to use a theme fabric.

Deb VanLaere.


This adorable quilt was made by Sharon McAuliffe using fabrics that Barbara Zygiel had given her.


Maureen Helvey made or acquired these blocks. Lynn Miller turned them into a Triple Irish Chain and gave the top to Ginny Mayes who turned the top into two quilts, this being one of them.





This is one of the quilts pieces by Ruth Swinehart whose daughter-in-law Elise donated her UFOs to MVQU.






Kathy Sheppard?



Ginny Mayes



Kathy Sheppard had a stunning backing fabric on one of her two Confetti quilts.
