Students' Show and Tell
Mariner`s Compass Table Runner
This charming table runner was made by Victoria Jones of Vancouver, WA. I love the setting Victoria used to feature her three Canada blocks. Would not this be perfect to display on your table? |
This Did Not Make A Dent in My Scraps!
How fun is that title? Vicki Guerra of the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild in Texas made this labor of love using all the blocks in the 300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Block books. Vicki worked with her friend Susan as they each made their quilt. I had the pleasure of meeting both Vicki and Susan when I was at their guild teaching. |
Intro To Paper Piecing Quilt
This charming quilt was made by Mindy Williams of Delaware. She used the FREE Intro to Paper Piecing block available in the Free Patterns section. I give permission to use this block in order to teach paper piecing. Mindy is going to share the joy of paper piecing in a class and made this quilt in anticipation of her class. Thanks for sharing your quilt and paper piecing. |
Summer Solstice
This very pretty quilt was made by Tina P. Mann of East Winthrop, ME Tina started this quilt at the Maine Quilts 2010 Show class. Great use of color Tina! |
Vermont Star Beauty
This beauty was made by Joan Ballard Midland, MI Joan wrote in her email: "Carol, I love the Vermont Star and the wonderful lattice work you get when you combine several stars. I have also always wanted to do a more traditional Amish solid color quilt. So I combined the two and added a ribbon border and created my own paper pieced outside lattice from the Vermont Star but omitted the star. This was the final product! I hope you like it." I not only like it...I love it. |

Awesome Quilt Featuring Mariner`s Compass Stars
Marie Glenwright from York, PA shared her quilt that has been accepted in the AQS Lancaster show. Marie wrote the following description: It's 54"by 54", hand pieced, appliqued, quilted and embroidered. The block in the middle is the Switzerland block, outer middle is the China block then around the outside is 4 Germany blocks with 4 applique that I made from a stencil ( that I enlarged ). I purchased at a home improvement store. After finishing the quilting I thought I'd do a "little" embroidery on the front and back. Good luck Marie and thanks for sharing your spectacular quilt. |
