August GreatFul Threads re-cap in pictures

Jackie was vending at the First Annual Ringgold Quilt Show, Brenda was in charge of the program on landscapes.

 Karen Sperry made kits for everyone.

Brenda is demonstrating how to put a simplified appliqued landscape quilt together.

Margaret working hard.

The same fabrics were in each kit but members brought their own blue background, this is Kim's.

Karen Young was doing some heavy thinking before assembling.

 June adding water and then stepping back. She is already getting great dimension in her features.

 Catherine fused her fabrics before beginning. Love the huge side bolder.

 Laura's mountains have an Alp shape. Brenda encouraged us to walk around and check out each other's ideas.

New member Jessie jumped right in without hesitation.

Margaret used a gradated fabric for her mountains in the distance, what a great color.

Vista is always methodical and has made several landscape quilts. See her show ' tell pics below.

Brenda has a wall of rocks. She can conduct the meeting, be in charge of the program and make her landscape. In other words she can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan!

.

Miriam has added three tall tree trunks to the right and cascading rocks, what a great look.

 New member, Jessie with a flannel quilt made with fabric she bought on a trip to Montana.

Margaret has been beading with buttons. Great color.

Denise's small mini swap quilt for the Modern guild.

One of Vista's landscape quilts complete with real seashells. 

 Another of Vista's landscape quilts with shells and beading.

 Miriam flowers have great depth, they pop off her background.

Brenda's vase quilt from a previous program. She gave it to her sister but had to borrow it back for show 'n tell! The beading and hand work is fabulous. 

 Karen's landscape quilt. She explained that the quilting is what made this landscape quilt have the depth and dimension that she was looking for.

Next month the program is on using window screening to make a vest. Members should be looking for a vest pattern to use and purchase screening. A supply list will be sent out. Denise has a screen tote that she will bring along with a pattern to share. Let's see what else we can come up with to use screening with!
