October Show & Tell

September must have been a busy month for our members, because we had lots of beautiful finished projects on display.

We started off with a reveal of our Challenge projects.  In January, Challenge participants were given fabric and threads and were instructed to create a stitched piece using only the provided materials.  Here are the spectacular results:

Sue P fashioned her Zodiac sign.

 

Amy P created a box insert.

 

Diana S created a life sampler.

 

Marj H designed a biscornu and brought her notes, too!

 

Pam S and Renee R also did pieces,

but I did not get photos.  Sorry, ladies!

 

For regular Show & Tell, we had:

 

A darling Halloween decoration from Anne L.

 

A finish of last month's education project

from Debbie L.  Quick and cute!

 

Another quick and cute finish of the same project by Pam S.

 

(Did I get them mixed up, ladies?)

 

 

A darling stitched piece with a quilt theme

and a lovely hardanger bookmark from Carol L.

 

Amy P showed this cute finish...

 

...and brought this stunning piece for the Guild's

exhibit at the upcoming Heritage Quilters show

in Crown Point.

 

Pat B showed several seasonal smalls.

 

Chris R had a tree theme going

with three beautiful pieces--this one...

 

...and this one...

 

...and this one.

 

Janet C showed her stunning dragonfly, now framed.

 

Elaine H brought this lovely piece.

 

Becky M did two cute Halloween kitties.

Can you spot the difference in the pieces?

 

 

Last but not least, Renee R

brought some sweet finished--and almost-finished--

pieces to sell at the upcoming

Quilters Plus Boutique--

more about that in another post.

 

Kudos to you all!
