BLOCK OF THE MONTH
Callie shared her block of the month pattern, a very precisely sewn weave pattern. The pattern emphasizes beginning techniques such as rotary cutting and seam matching.
SHOW & TELL
This is Callie's chevron quilt made from jelly roll strips. Small two-color blocks are sewn together on the diagonal. It's brilliant.
Here's a link to the free pattern.
Here's an improvised quilt by Jayne that reminds her of a big hot cup of cocoa. The striped fabrics are by Kaffe Fassett.
Jayne told us that she'd like to design quilts. We unanimously agreed that this would be a big seller if she made and sold a pattern for it.
Linda, fairly new to quilting and to the guild, wowed us all with one of her first quilt tops. She's making this fun quilt for her 3-year old who is already putting to good used the coordinating pillow case.
You're probably wondering where you can get these amazing prints, right? Well, you're going to have to jump into your time machine and head back to the 70s. That's when Christine bought the fabric and made the quilt. She's very busy working on her soon-to-be published quilt book and although she showed us one of her beautiful current projects, we can't post a picture of it. You'll have to buy her book when it comes out if you want to see it!
