Delicate Stitchers of Moab

At the museum in town, each spring our guild is challenged with a theme to create wall hanging size quilts for display.  This year the challenge was "Flower Power".  The quilts are displayed in an earlier post.  Patrons were encouraged to vote for their favorites, and some added comments.  These are samples of what patrons thought of our quilts.   "All the quilts are amazing! Thanks" "Beautiful quilts😀 Made me smile.  June 17th, 2023 What a wonderful surprise!  Thank you all for sharing  your talents.  Dee Small, Groveland, Ca." So much detail and care put into all of these quilts! "These quilts look COLORFUL and CREATIVE!   Kayla"  

Glenda made a special gift/wall hanging for Shauna.  It is a recreation of a Christmas card Shauna had sent her.  The card had a hand painted figure and a hand written message:  "Sending  you a Christmas Star to guide you in the new year." Glenda appliqued the figure and the star with really cute little socks and presented the gift to Shauna during show and tell.  So Cute!  Thank  you, Glenda, it is on my Studio wall already.  (close up pic below)  Close up picture of  recreation of a Christmas card "Glenda's wall hanging for me taken from the Christmas card I sent her."  So clever.   Glenda's 'Hexie" creations.  These are done with English paper piecing which is a fun technique to play with.  It is mostly done by hand and can end up with many different configurations.  Really cute, Glenda!! This is a cute, pieced tote made by Winn.  She's hiding behind it because she wants us to see only her art work....

  On July ll, 2023, our guild had a party/picnic celebrating 25 years of our quilt guild.  Invitations went out to any and all, past and present members to come celebrate with us.  It is my understanding, I may be wrong, that there were 20 original members of the guild.  These first 4 pictures are of the  original members who were there with us that night, holding up the gift they were given by the current president.   Marian Eason, always very active in the guild, past president, secretary, historian, chairman of the yearly museum challenge and numerous times a committee member for our guild quilt show, usually held every other year in the spring.  You could count on her carefully crafted quilt winning first place in the annual Museum show.   Lou Gostlin, a member of the original guild, she has always been an active participant, past president and vice president, program director, member of many committees, especially the guild show hel...
