We had a very busy meeting this month. Of course it starts with show and tell....then we moved onto sewing the community quilt kits my other group (Fiber Junkies) made using surplus fabric from my friend's stash.
Barbara wowed us with this disappearing 4-patch made from shirting fabric samples.
Linda Cantrell, well known nationally for her detailed humorous applique story quilts has been on a quilt hiatus for several years. BUT...yeah....she's back!! Here are several of the blocks she shared with us based on nursery rhymes. One needs to examine each block for a good long time to appreciate the attention to detail. For instance, Linda loves Boston Terriers.....and is a dedicated volunteer for the Boston Rescue Group.
Can you name each of the nursery rhymes these blocks depict??
Laughter, plenty of food, and beverages are always a staple at our meetings.
I brought 8 kits....patches, borders, backing, and binding all precut. Janice has a large area for us to set up 4 machines and plenty of room to arrange blocks on the floor and her design wall.
The finished quilts will be given to the Asheville Quilt Guild's Community Quilt project for disbursement.

The nursery rhyme blocks are adorable!!! Like the patchwork quilt tops too...looks like a wonderful project for giving to the community!
Great use of those extra fabrics. Charity quilts are always needed and welcomed. You belong to a couple of great groups!
Well I'm glad Linda is back- her blocks are really wonderful. I especially like Bo Peep, and think I named the others correctly. A day of piecing for donation quilts is a worthwhile effort and kitting up the fabrics must have taken quite a bit of time. Nice work!
Linda is amazing...so glad she is back making her amazing quilts
