Applique Bee – A Richmond Modern Quilt Guild Event
Posted By drsao on January 8, 2012
Today was the beginning of a six-month applique bee at Susan Emory’s house. We are meeting once a month to work on our DON’T LOOK NOW applique patterns.
Here are the beginnings of our six projects!
This one is Debbie’s future pillow!
This is Ann’s Quilt
Cheryl is also making a quilt….
Catherine’s LITTLE MONSTER QUILT will actually be a LITTLE SCOTTY QUILT…..
This is mine – sao’s RAINBOW LOLLIPOPS Quilt…..
….and by our QUEEN BEE, Susan, we have a tree pillow……
AND…..after only a few short hours – look what our Queen Bee has made! I just LOVE the colors!
Debbie’s pillow top in progress is beautiful! Her applique is on white linen. ELEGANT!
We really had fun today – we helped each other – we ate – we admired the furry guests
All in all, we had a rip roaring time…….and speaking of RIP…..someone (who shall remain nameless) caught her pants on a buffet knob and ripped her pants. I am really too “ELEGANT” to stoop so low as to take a picture – but somehow it got on my camera……
Yes, I named my Featherweight “Peggy Sue” after my grandmother who taught me to sew on her old black Singer. What a great gift!!!! And what a great friend!!!!!
What a fun group you have and quite a few ambitious projects. I believe you will really like the Rainbow Lollipops, your type of fun. Only Catherine’s could turn Monsters into Scotties – her talent is enormous and always thinking outside the box. Do you have a local resource for the ‘Don’t Look Now’ patterns? I have been looking for the one Susan is making, Memories. I thought it would be a wonderful logo wall hanging for my blog. What a wonderful gift to receive the treadle machine – Eleanor has a loving home. Warmest wishes from Judy C
