Show-n-Tell at Modern Quilters, February 2014

Not very many people brought show-n-tell, but those that did brought several.

We were working on our raffle quilt.

The proceeds from the raffle go to the Trappe Volunteer Fire Company where we meet.

The quilt we be raffled off at the Trappe Fair this Summer.

Lightning quilt

Storm At Sea

This Storm At Sea was made be the 7-Sisters Quilt Guild.

It will be raffled off in June to benefit the Trappe Volunteer Fire Company.

I thought it would be neat for the quilting to feel flowing like water.

The quilting was very simple but I think it has the effect I was going for.

Summer Breeze

7-Sisters is raffling off this quilt. I love how it looked blowing in the Summer Breeze.

Raffle Quilt

This quilt was made by the 7-Sisters Quilt Guild. It is for a raffle.

I love the colors and fabrics in this quilt.

The quilting shows up nicely on the back. The back is actually dark brown but it does not look like it with the lighting.

7 Sisters Raffle Quilt

Every year 7 Sisters makes a quilt to be raffled off to benefit the Trappe Fire Company. I quilted it yesterday.

7 Sisters Top Finished

This week I did not get as much quilting done as I would have liked because I had to work on tax stuff. Yes, it is that dreaded time of year.

Yesterday the Bayside Quilters 300 Birthday Bee had a meeting. Easton, Maryland is 300 years old this year and we are making a commemorative quilt for the occasion. The opening ceremony is the parade on April 24th. We hope to have the quilt ready to unveil then. I am so tempted to post a picture of our progress but I will try to wait until it is complete. The top is assembled and all of the blocks are complete. We are now working on the borders, lettering and the label. I will have the pleasure of quilting it.

Finally, last evening the 7 Sisters Quilt Guild got to meet again. The first time since all of the snow. It was great to be back. We meet weekly at the firehouse so, each year we make a quilt to be raffled to benefit the Fire Company. The winner is chosen each year at the summer carnival. Anyway last night we completed the top. I hope to get it quilted this coming week.
