BYC SEWING/QUILTING CLUB

[baustin]

Good for you Zephyr Farms. It's good to see more and more young and older people getting into knitting and crocheting and quilting. It's relaxing and gives one a sense of satisfaction to see the results of something you've made. Welcome aboard and keep us informed as to projects working on. We like to hear about them.

The lovely ladies from the Las Colcheras Quilters in Las Cruces took some of my FQs and squares and put them into crib quilt kits and apron kits for the kids.

That's kind of them. I'm sure the kids will like that.

I'm not on the computer that much but the first thing I saw was your post about the Las Cruces ladies. They truly are lovely ladies and a great influence for your kids. Sewing skills last a lifetime. You should be very proud. Your kids will always remember you and the great times they had in your class.

Thank you, it's a great feeling watching them. Our club numbers went from about 30 to 49 yesterday due to the school accidentally putting out sign up sheets for after school activities with our club listed on it. But we won't turn them away, we'll probably just add another day to work with them.

Has anyone made any feathered star quilts? Are they as hard as they look? I want to do one (maybe a lapsize quilt) for my mom for part of her Christmas present.
I just got a new book called, Feathered Star Quilt Blocks 2 by Marsha McCloskey. It looks like it has some interesting and challenging stars in it....

Quilt people on the chicken forum.....how cool! I'm a novice (to chickens and quilting), but loooove them both! I'm so glad I've found some like-minded addicts!

Would anyone be interested in making a full size quilt using this pattern? I like it because we share the same name, lol Im a fall/winter color person. It comes from the Dear Jane quilt from 1863. I would like to barter for some or most of the cost. I will include the book of 225 patterns from the 1863 Dear Jane quilt. Very nice book!!

I am making a couple of Christmas quilts using a similar pattern, The Ohio Star as some of the blocks in the quilts. It seems to be an easy one so far.

Thought I'd share some current projects:

A zippered pouch & little wallet for a friend

A finished quilt top. Basting is my very least favorite thing, so I'm procrastinating a bit.
