  Deb created this special design for a class.  She finished it for a class on basic quilting techniques.  I love this pattern, all original. Cathy created this cute quilt for a nephew.    The second quilt is the alphabet, So charming.   The top quilt is the "back" for when the child is older so he can play with his Hot Wheels cars on it. Paula  made this beautiful, subtle blues and lavender sampler quilt, lap size, She also showed us her practice doodling, quilting designs taught by Peggy Kim  made this gloriously colored quilt that reminds us of a sunset.   She also made the variegated quilt made as "quilt as you go".  She finished it on a long arm machine.  Love the fabric's arrangement.

  Peggy introduced her lesson on quilting on your domestic machine using an assortment of rulers, straight and curvy.  Here she is showing examples of her quilts  using her rulers.  She showed a book she recommended. Peggy showed an unusual T-Shirt quilt she created where she cut the T-shirt close to the logo, then fit these pieces together, as in a puzzle.  She quilted it using the "quilt as you go" method, as trying to quilt the entire quilt would have been too heavy  to move on her domestic machine.   Vonda showed a baby size quilt where she practiced making flying geese pattern and also free motion quilting on her domestic machine.  Charming little quilt. Susan Shenton, showed her "Mexican Star" wall hanging.  Such beautiful colors on a wonderful pattern.    Chyrrel showed these three examples of her work,  The top picture is of a pillow, she made several for Christmas on her long arm machine.  The second example ...
