Glenda showed  us bag with Crosstitch Chicken made by Betty Badger.   Named Beatrice the Chicken and Little Bee.   Candi showed us two tops, as yet unquilted.  The first one - Bear Paw - with panel in turquoise was made by Bonnie Stocks.            This panel of a Elk was made by Candi.  Panels are always appreciated, blocks made to match the picture in the panel. Audrey showed us her cute fabric bag - the pictures of the fabric don't show as well as they should, So cute.  The handle was made from a belt from the thrift store - a clever way to provide a strong bag handle. A placemat made by Audrey for the guild challenge for the Meals on Wheels Cathy shared her Sewing bag that was made during Sew Saturdays.  Notice the large, handy opening.  Very nice, Cathy,.

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....
