April Meeting Recap

It was great to see you all at our April meeting - many thanks to Rebecca for hosting us at her lovely home. We know many of you made out well at the fabric swap and we can't wait to see what you do with your new scraps and fat quarters! We got a great preview of our quilt show (Gather Here, THIS WEEKEND) since submissions were due. So here's a sneak peek if you missed the meeting!

T's sooo fetch Mean Girls inspired mini.

Stephanie's drunkard's path modernized into a pretty flower

Rebecca's vibrant new take on the old 9 patch

and Noodlehead tote bag (her advice, skip the front pocket!)

Carolyn's bursting mini Mariner's Compass urges us to just keep going!

and her lovely kiss quilt, quilted on a domestic!

Hildy's wonky disappearing 9 patch, made AFTER her machine died at retreat!

Hildy's Camp Erin contribution, a pleasing mix of stripe width and direction

Hildy made this and the following red hot quilts for her neighbor's lucky grandchildren!

Rebecca's two-tone Mariner's Compass is inspiring a set of placemats!

Lots of ohs and ahs for this blue wonder of Rebecca's designed with three sizes of log cabins.
Do you see the seahorse made out of seahorse fabric at the bottom?

We saw this colorful top of Rebecca's a few meetings ago,
 but now it's been beautifully hand quilted by her mother!

Chris's clever drunkard's path owl, complete with drunkard's path branches!

Julie's Moral Compass mini

Julie's "This One's for the Lawyers" quilt, inspired by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Dissent Collar.

Sue's seasonally-spot-on drunkard's path tulip with interesting background repeats.

Kathy's mini-mariner's compass, with beautiful feather-like spikes. 

We were mesmerized by the two-tone fabric that blurred
the lines on Kim's flying geese.

Kim's black and white scrap quilt made from the scraps of a different project!

Christine's modern take on flying geese played with fun colors and fabrics.

Mary's new take on the 9 patch that perfectly coordinates with her hair

Jared's clever creation, where there is just one rainbow per log cabin piece.

And note the hand embroidered flowers on his sweatshirt as you'll likely see more over the coming months!

Heather's mini with the color contrasts, size variation and creative quilting hitting all the right spots!

Lovely color and quilting choices on Jordan's flying geese.

Jane playing with drunkard's path, we were in awe of her circular quilting - she credits a Christa Watson tutorial.

Charlotte's lively mariner's compass included itty-bitty mermaid tails!

This is Melissa's cool and hand quilted log cabin

Joanne's wonky log cabin

Come see them all in person this weekend as part of Cambridge Open Studios. If you can't make it, we'll see you all at the end of the month back at Gather Here. Get quilting!
