SHOW & TELL
Lindsay Connor sent an online challenge to sew NICU smocks. The response was overwhelming with over 150 submitted and more coming in! Thank you Lindsay! She was also able to receive donated Holiday fabrics from Blend Fabrics.
Sharon Hels shared her Storm at Sea quilt using her hand dyed fabrics using low water emersion dye. Beautiful shades of green, gold, grey and blue!
Stephanie Williams shared her quilt top, Short Cake Quilt by Cluck Cluck Sew. What Stephanie loves about this pattern is that it only uses one jelly roll and one yard of fabric. She made this using Gypsy Girl fabric.
Christine Copenhaver shared a vintage kimonos quilt top (grey background). She is wanting suggestions and advise for quilting the negative space. Her book, Necktie Quilts, is in stores now. When asked about the development process, Christine it took approximately two years in development and an additional year to edit and publish.
Jennifer Haston shared her work in progress LOVE quilt. On the back, she has the family's house with family members in various windows and includes a picket fence! Soon to be a treasured heirloom!
Debby Lee shared two of her quilt projects. One is a pixelated heart quilt top in blues with grey background. Just needs the binding to be complete! Great colors in her triangles quilt using grey, yellow, orange and aqua.
Jayne Willis shared her wonky quilt with shades of grey and pink. Love the arrangement.
