Betsey W created a quilt with dahlia flowers.  She sews Monday at the local library.  The librarian helped Betsey choose dahlia colors, as inspired by the bouquet of dahlias that were on display at the library.

Betsey's dahlia quilt


Betsey create this piece using ruler work.  Jenny P showed her how to create this design.  The class is offered at Shoreline Sewing Machines in Stonington CT

A group project by three members

Pattern by Barbara C - from the workshop she provided for our guild.  Members learned to use repeated shapes in a quilt design

These two quilts are made with strips and were made for grandchildren.  They came together quickly because the quilt is created by sewing strips together.  One is a firefighter theme because the child's father is a fireman.
Didn't Pat F do a great job?!?


Bev O created this quilt with many pieces from a Bonnie Hunter pattern.

Jane C shared her quilt from our Barbara Chojnacki workshop.  The pattern is called, "Random Acts of Happiness."

A quilt created by our Community Outreach - to be donated

If you look closely, you can see the quilting is kites and tails
