Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild 2014 Exhibit

I have just one last slideshow from the Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild's 2014 Exhibit.  This one shows individual photos of each entry.  Enjoy!

Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild 2014 Exhibit - Colors of Cancer

As a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society, guild members were asked to design a small art quilt using colored fabric representing specific cancer awareness colors (such as pink for breast cancer) There were 16 quilts entered in this project, all of which were sold at $25 each, raising $400 for our local ACS!

Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild 2014 Exhibit, Challenge Category

The challenge for the Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild's exhibit this year was to make a quilt showing one, any combination, or all of the elements...Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.  I think those who entered did a great job representing the theme!

Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild's 2014 Exhibit

As promised, here is a slideshow presentation of the Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild's 2014 Exhibit.  Awards will be handed out at this evening's guild meeting to all the winners, but honestly, I think everyone who entered is a winner...all of the quilts were just beautiful this year!

We Will Never Forget

Remembering our fallen heroes on this Memorial Day.   My heartfelt thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us and ensure our freedoms.

Independence Day

Quiltmaker Shuffle

Forget that crazy zumba stuff...this is a dancercise that I could actually do!

Unfinished Stories with New Endings

I purchased the book, Unfinished Stories with New Endings, by Gyleen X. Fitzgerald last week when she visited our guild.  I knew when I first saw it that it was a nice book, but after spending a few evenings with it, I have about decided that it's my new favorite quilting book!  Vintage quilts, lovely stories, beautiful photographs, clear patterns for 10 different quilts, and lots of information...it's everything a quilting book should be! 

Carrots For Easter!

How cute are these scrappy carrots from the Missouri Star Co.?  And my next question is, why don't I have orange in my scrap basket?
