Mesa Quilting Bee February 2011

Aunt Sally was the first to finish her reunion Quilt! It look fabulous, it is quilted and  ready to bind.
She made it with 9- 9 patches with white in the center and 5 inch sashing and borders.

Aunt Sydney brought the quilt Donna sent her as a Thank You for housing   her family for the reunion.  Sydney was thrilled with this Red and White quilt.  We all loved it also.

Callie (with the help of her mom) shows off her cute cute DNP * Disappearing Nine Patch.
We are so excited the young girls are excited about sewing.

Jamie and Jackie display Jamie's DNP made with two "Giddy" charm packs and borders.

Aunt Sydney shows Chandler and Lynn's DNP out of "Giddy" Fabric also.
I think the Arnett Family bought out the Scrapbook store of "Giddy" fabric. Everyone loves it.

Heather brought this adorable skirt and headband daughter Jessica made.  We were so sorry Brooke didn't feel well and we hope she can come to our next BEE.

Aunt Sally made this skirt out of a "Jelly Roll " Fabric
for a Granddaughter,
 So Cute

Kim is excited about this strip quilt inspired by Tara's quilt made from a "Jelly Roll"
We helped her trim up the sides and she is now ready for borders.  

This is the group at the kitchen table and this is
not even half of the group.
Jacque
welcomed us into her home and we had lots of room for all of us.
Jamie, Kim,  Abby, and Julie, Calli and Paige.

Heather is pressing her blocks.
This is one of the things we talked about was pressing.
It is a must.  Press as you go.

Betsey and Aly are working on nine patches.  

Jackie, Annie and Brooke working on projects.

Joy, Peg, Sally and Sydney

Joy show this quilt she has finished made from "Layer Cakes" It is a stack and whack .  You put 5 fabric in a stack and  after cut you shuffle the stack so you have a mixture in each block .  So Great.  Made with "Recipe For Friendship" fabric

And This is Joy's DNP made with "Giddy" Fabric.  It is so amazing how each quilt turns out so different  when you use the same fabric with different borders.

Annie finished this all by herself.  It is so great.
  Annie is the one that saved her own money and bought her own sewing machine (a really nice one I might say).
Annie this is just a start! You Go Girl!

Fun Fun night. We are ready to see what the Utah and Cali group has to show.
