| Carol also shared this email block of the month she has been doing through Quilter's Cupboard in Ankeny. Isn't this sweet? |
 |
| These last two bolts (left) just came in to complete this fall line from Stella Designs. The colors are even prettier in person. Come see. |
 |
| This new shop sample was made for us by Penny White. From Quilter By Night Designs, this is the smallest version, approx. 40" square. The pattern also gives direction for 62" square and 84" square. |
 |
| And while we are out front, here is a close up of our new yard art. I am not normally a fan of yard art but, I am a big fan of plates. I saw these for sale at our local museum and had to bring one home. These are plates and saucers, layered up by a local artist. |
 |
| Have you seen this? It's made with Moda Slices. These are 10" squares cut in half to make triangles. All pre-cut and packaged with this pattern. Makes it easy to do this chevron quilt. Packets are now 40% off! |
 |
| Jenny O. sent me this adorable picture. She started with a t-shirt the size her granddaughter wears and then just gathered and top stitched layers to the shirt. Isn't that adorable? I want to see a picture of it on Avery! |
 |
| Lila Bilbrey from Panora just brought in this quilt using 8 rows of the Row by Row patterns. She is the first so that makes her our winner! These rows came from shops in Omaha (2), Jolley, Lake City, Creston, Newton , Papillion, NE and Adel. |
 |
| Barb was relieved to have finished this sampler quilt.Very nice! |
 |
| Nancy is making several of these quilts, using her father in laws old Hawaiian shirts. |

 |
| Deb has been busy using up donated fabric to make comfort quilts. Above are some blocks she is testing her own comfort level bein "scrappy". Below are more scrappy strip sets. |
 |
| Deb also shared these quilts, put together at a recent community sew day she sponsored. These quilts will be donated to domestic violence shelters. |
 |
| Joyce is also getting ready for fall with a table topper above. Below is a table runner and place mats she made for a wedding gift. |
 |
| Sold to the lady in the 2nd row!! Nancy picked up a lot of fun things at an auction recently including this stamped place mat and napkins set. |
 |
| Our demo for the evening was this heart block. It may look difficult but it is really just hearts appliqued over a large pinwheel block. As always, it was a great gathering with my Quilt Circle of Friends. Thanks to Deb Semmens for taking our pictures this month. |
 |
| Carol brought this quilt to show us. It uses the house blocks she collected in our 2014 series of classes. Isn't this cool? She just made it up the setting. |
 |
| This month, our program was about patriotic quilts during the Civil War and what women of the era did to support the troops via their quilting. Marty brought this quilt to show. |
 |
| Kris brought this one she has been growing for a while. |
 |
| And this one came from Kay. |
 |
| While our speaker, Phyllis Kaldenberg, talked about the new quilt museum coming to Winterset, Quilts of Valor and the books she has written, members worked on their Patchwork of the Crosses blocks. It was a lovey morning. Thank you to all. |

Susan Body stopped in to show us this quilt. This was a kit from our shop, maybe over 10 years ago but guess what? It's done now!
|
 |
| This little boy was so "sucited" to see the tractors and waited a long time for them to come by. They did not disappoint. |
