Show and Tell - July 2004

Yet again, we can only be awed and inspired by the wonderful talent our guild has. Here is this months show and tell. Please note we are still processing the photos and show and tell slips for the web site. The pictures will be up shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Fire Drill by Dan Mills

Dan did not make it for our show and tell session. He was visiting family in Missouri, and was driving back as fast as he could to try and make it to show and tell, but alas did not. And our normally mild mannered Dan, jumped up at the end of the meeting, to ask to show his quilt that he was driving back so fast to show off. Fire Drill is a lone star quilt that Dan made in a work shop by visiting guest speaker, Jan Krentz. The novelty fabric is fire engines.

Thursday Thimblers - Community Service Quilts

Chi Omega T-Shirt Quilt by Tina Connolly

Tina writes "I was hired to make this T-shirt quilt by a lady that I work out with. The Chi Omega colors are cardinal and straw. Richard is going to quilt it."

Starry Night by Lynne Fritsche

Lynne writes "The large star blocks were won in the August 2000 BOM drawing. They sat in a pizza box until February of this year, when I won the small blocks in the BOM drawing. I guess if you wait long enough, an opportunity will present itself!"
