Showing quilts at guild meeting
 
About two weeks ago, I asked for advice about showing four quilts at our guild meeting during Show and Tell. I was concerned that I would be "hogging the floor." Many of you encouraged me to show them, saying Show and Tell was your favorite part.

Well, our guild meeting was last night and I did show all four. I was quick and didn't take more than my share of time, but I felt really good about it. Thanks so much for encouraging me. All four quilts were new ones I had made and three will be heading to victims of tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Thanks again.

Part of the instructions are missing, but I was able to figure it out. I am a semi-advanced beginner, and if anyone can figure it out, I can.

Hot Rod, the cat, is showing off one called well, phooey, I have forgotten what it is called. I think it is Bright Lite Log Cabin. Here is the site. http://www.quiltershomemag.com/patte...html?idx=13608

The yellow and black one is a rail fence.

Thanks for admiring them!

Dina 07-02-2013 12:19 PM

Okay, I looked harder and the pattern is called First Light Log Cabin. I added the borders, as it is shown without any.

They are beautiful, and I love, love, that last one. If I belonged to a quild, I know the show and tell would be my favorite part. When I have not been on this forum for a while, I can't wait to head to the picture section to see what everyone has been doing.

ManiacQuilter2 07-02-2013 12:58 PM

Your color variegation on the thrid quilt was excellent. I have two quilts I am also sending to OK. I need to get the larger of the medium size priority box and the mailman left the skinny one. Both quilts won't fit in THAT ONE!!

serenitybygrace 07-02-2013 01:01 PM

Every one has its own beautiful personality (quiltality??) You did wonderful work on all of them.

Podunk Princess 07-02-2013 01:12 PM

They are all beautiful. I especially like the yellow one.

Dina 07-02-2013 02:05 PM

Thank you all for the nice comments on my quilts.

Nice quilts - looks like the quilt inspector put a paw of approval on one of them. :-)

lynnie 07-02-2013 02:26 PM

seems your fur baby and I love the same one

EdieClay 07-02-2013 03:55 PM

I love the kitty quilt ... is the kitty required by the pattern or just a bonus at your house ... lol. Beautiful quilts, appreciate your sharing your work with us.

So glad you did show all 4 quilts at your guild meeting. At our guild all quilts are enjoyed! This morning my granddaughter showed her apron and a bag she made. I showed my carpet bag and some crocheted receiving blankets. I always like to hear a little story about each quilt also. Thanks for sharing your pictures. They are great quilts.

Very nice quilts! Great inspector too!

Great quilts! I'm glad you showed them at guild - if I were in your guild, I would have wanted to see them.

JustAbitCrazy 07-02-2013 05:23 PM

So glad you showed them all! They are definitely all show worthy. Great job, and thanks for sharing with us. :thumbup:

Cybrarian 07-02-2013 07:26 PM

All are gorgeous, but it looks like your Quilt Inspector was reluctant to let his/her favorite go!

coopah 07-03-2013 04:29 AM

Those quilts are just the cat's meow! Oh, I see the cat has already meowed approval. How sweet your quilt inspector looks on that quilt! It's my fav out of the four , too!

tessagin 07-03-2013 04:31 AM

Photos before you send, PLEASE!

duckydo 07-03-2013 04:31 AM

cpcarolyn 07-03-2013 05:33 AM

Beautiful quilts.

MargeD 07-03-2013 06:15 AM

Great job. It's nice to show off our hard work and especially since 3 of them will be heading to victims of tornadoes in Oklahoma. I'm sure they will be much appreciated.

shasta5718 07-03-2013 06:27 AM

Very nice, glad you showed them. Some of the ladies in my guild show 10-12 and it,s just fun to see all the creative talents.

Daleen 07-03-2013 11:48 AM

Great quilts. This is the best part of a quilt guild meeting -- seeing the quilts!!

The instructions for the log cabin quilt are extremely brief. Glad I've made them before. The printed part of the instructions tells you how many of each block coloration to make. That's a beautiful quilt. I am considering making it in orange,green and brown batiks.
