I know this is quite a while ago, but here are some pictures from our quilt day in November.First is a picture of my mom and Carol. My mom is working on the Abraham Lincoln quilt she is making for my dad (Christmas present). She is using Civil War reproduction fabric and making it "nap" size (long enough for my dad to nap under). :)
Carol was playing around with some fussy-cut centered log cabins for a table runner that she was making from scraps - they really went together nicely. I thought I had taken a picture of her final product, but I can't seem to find it. The colors were brown and green.
Maria worked on her red and white quilt blocks that will be for her daughter's bed when she gets married. The picture really doesn't do justice to the colors - it is vibrant and the squares are so precise.
Lastly, the project that I (Carrie) worked on were placemats for a Christmas present for someone at work. I found the free pattern at sew4home.com and it went together really nicely and used up batting scraps. :) I had made cloth napkins (using a rolled hem foot) for the same lady last year with the fabric that is in the middle of the placemats. I used the last little bit of the middle fabric that I had left over for a bread basket napkin. The backing is the same poinsettia fabric that is on the outside. I did stitch in the ditch down the middle and top-stitching around the edges with gold thread - it turned out nicer than I was expecting. :)Our next "quilt day" is scheduled for February 26th, I'll try to post pictures right away after that one. :)
