January Quilt Guild

Our January Quilt Guild was really fun.  We were learning about round robins.  This quilt is Debbie's quilt that she did at the Ruby's retreat last year.  It is darling.  I am sorry the photo is not that great.

We are doing a round robin this year in our guild.  The theme for our quilt is fall.  It can include Thanksgiving but not Halloween.  We have had a great response and will have many participants.  We will get a fabric pack in March and then have until August to make our blocks.  We make as many blocks as we have participants, all of the blocks the same.  Then we will exchange them in August.

This is a closer look at some of the round robin Christmas quilt.  The longer blocks are the filler blocks.  Those that participated in this one had to make like 16 regular blocks and 16 filler blocks.  These turned out so cute.  I wish my photo were better.

 

This is Claudia's Route 66 Round Robin block for this years Ruby's retreat in February.  It is so fun.  I have seen several of the others and I think it will be darling.

Mary did this cute table runner.

This is beautiful.  I would say stunning.  This is also Mary's.

This is Cheri's quilt.  Isn't it cute?  She does such a beautiful job with the embroidery.  

This is also Cheri's.  This is a hexie flower.  Below is the back.

This is Cheri's table runner and look at the back.  I think it could be reversible it is so pretty.

This is Sandy's quilt.  The quilting is so pretty.  If you look closely they are flowers not bubbles.

I believe this is also Sandy's

This is Claudia's quilt.  It was a mystery quilt.  It is so nice.  I think brave too.  I would have a hard time not being able to know what I am making.

Jan made this one.  She does a great job.  If you haven't checked out her blog it is quiltwalktalk@blogspot.com

Jerilu made this car seat cover.  

This quilt was so amazing.  Its blocks were generations old.  Guen put these blocks together that her Grandmother had made.  It was breath taking.  She said it was a signature quilt.

Crystal is making these pillow covers.  Her pillow has ruffles on the edges but she makes the covers to go over the middle.  They are so nice.

Becky made this Halloween quilt and the cowboy quilt.  The cowboy quilt she will be selling in her shop, Cowboy Collectibles in Panguitch.  I am fairly certain that she quilted these on her own too.  She is amazing.

This is also Becky's quilt.  The flowers are raw edge so they will fluff up when the quilt is washed.  It looks better than the picture.

Quiltique In Henderson, NV

This was the first time I had gone to Quiltique.  I had heard some really nice comments about this store and thought that the next time I went to visit my friend, Cami, I would make an effort to go see this shop. I really had a wonderful time there. Check them out at www.quiltique.com.

The shop has loads of windows and loads of fabric.  The displays are really cute too.

The people that work there were great.  When I got home I decided I wanted to get some more grab bags and they let me buy it over the phone and they sent it here to Panguitch.  That is great service.

Look at that woven table runner.  It is really neat.

I love the colors of this one.  The pattern is cute too.

This is a table runner.  Each of the flowers are whipped together.

Quiltique has a sale room.  They have all sorts of deals there.  I got a fabulous deal on an accu-quilter die.  I got it for 60% off.  They also had kits for great deals and a bunch of fabrics too.  They even had notions in there too.

You just have to love the sale sections.  I always love a deal.

I thought this kit was really cute.

These are the sale fabrics, at least some of them.  They had quite a bit more.

I have a fabulous friend that made me one of these.  I love it.  Thanks Becky.

This is cool.  It lays on the arm rest.  You can take the pin cushion off too.  It has velcro on the bottom of the pin cushion.

Becky has made one of these bargello quilts.  They look amazing.

Look.  The turtle is swimming right off the quilt.

The dish towels are darling.

This is crocheted fabric.  They had it as a rug and as a front of a pillow.  It really looks fun.

I still love this pattern.  I will one day make it.

This is a happy quilt.

I really loved that little skirt.  It is so cute.  The other clothes were cute too but I loved the skirt.

This is a perfect spring decorative pillow.  I love it.

This looks like chalk board but feels smoother.  The writing doesn't rub off either.  I didn't ask but I am sure any of the employees could tell you about it.

Quiltique is also a Bernina dealer.  The Bernina sewing machines are really nice.  They have some that do embroidery and these quilts are done with those types of machines.

This quilt was done in sections.  They are done in a quilt as you go method.  It is really an amazing quilt.  If you look on the photo below you can see the sections or blocks.  The back seams were covered in bias tape.

This quilt is one I am considering making during the Quilt Walk.  We have someone coming to teach this pattern.  I just picked up my fabrics from Quiltique to make it. 

There is a class room at this store too.  I didn't take pictures of it because they had a class going on and I didn't want to disturb them.  It looks really nice with technology built right into the room.  You may want to try one of their classes.

They only have a small section of wools at this shop.  They are beautiful but if you really are into wools I would recommend going over to the Christmas Goose, they have a larger selection. The pieces here are small so if you only need little pieces they have really fun colors here.
