Displaying her
"favorite quilt of all time" is our charming program presenter Dawn Cornell.
Dawn has operated The Quilt Shoppe in Anderson for nine years now. Her program was full of charm and inspiration on how to wisely turn our scraps into a truly useful resource. |
|
Dawn suggested that
simply pressing your scraps and cutting them into standard sizes makes it
easy to find and to use them creatively later. Dawn's Challenge: She suggested to take a weekend as a starting point to get the main mountain of scraps pared down and after that: 1. Start by pressing your "laundry basket" of accumulated scraps. 2. Then spend just 15 minutes a day cutting the pressed scraps and sorting them by size into suitable containers. This process actually provides you free cinnabuns, jelly rolls, and charms from fabric that otherwise was useless.

This king size beauty is an excellent sampler quilt of many types and kinds of quilt blocks. The log cabin and court house steps portions are particularly attractive. |
 |
These are some of the BOTM blocks returned. They should be enough to make a couple of quilts for our Riley project. |
| Here are two items already made from the Folk Art House block; one with the addition of appliqued trees and the other on a darker background. Also, this is the quilt rack donated to be raffled along with our raffle quilt this year. |

| These quilts are part of a memory project to help loved ones remember a recently departed loved one. | |

This will be the most handsome carry on soon on a flight to the Carolinas. It was made because normal carry on luggage is so heavy, and this lightweight and flexible bag is both practical and beautiful. |

| These quilts are memories preserved by our resident tee shirt quilt expert. | |

This quilt started out as a drawing left behind by a visiting grandchild. After looking at it for a while, its use for a quilt design became apparent and resulted in this charming and festive piece. Some grandchild will have a real keepsake. |

This interesting graphic design was developed by Judy from scraps she saw on the floor. |

Thanks to Judy Parks and Eleanor Hickman for the nice refreshments and the "breath of spring" table decorations. |
