Our Guild hasn’t been meeting since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But our members have been busy sewing at home. This is a Show and Tell of with photos sent in by PBQ members so that we can share what we’ve been doing since we were last together. Comments are usually not allowed on our posts, but for this post, you may post comments if you’d like to. Enjoy!

Far left is the top of the quilt, middle left is the back. I took two blocks of the month from the Herring Run Guild and liked so much that I made a whole quilt. The backing fabrics a favorite Kaffe Fassett.
Middle right is was a mystery quilt from Kathryn Leblanc of Dragonfly’s Quilting Design Studio. Claire did this mystery with a small group of quilting friends.
Far right: A quilt design by our own Marcia Kennedy!

Elaine M. : “Mary’s Quilt”. Block design is from “The New Quick and Easy Block Tool Book”.

Suzanne K. : Two matching on-point quilts made for my grandsons. Suzanne used charm packs and cut them to 2 1/2 inch squares, twenty across in 40 rows ….800 in total! The boys are thrilled with their new quilts!

I started this quilt with the idea of letting the light into dark during COVID.
My art group created a challenge to make art inspired by other’s work. This was inspired by Nancy Marks’ paintings of abstract urban landscapes.
This curvy improv took forever to finish—-years!! I have no quilt piecing experience and the quilt has many darts and hand sewn overlays.

Beach quilt from a panel that was cut up.
Three yard quilt pattern called “Attraction” from Fabric Café® , using Tula’s True Colors fabric line from Free Spirit
“Post-Cuts”, a queen size quilt made from scraps left over from making face masks. A nice memory of the stash that was!

Patty W. Left to right:

This piece includes applique and FMQ. It measures approximately 40"x46". It is a baby gift for a little girl to be born any day now.
In this wall quilt, measuring 24"x16," I used all scrap material and then FMQed the entire piece. I finished it with facing rather than binding.
This piece was inspired by listening to my three year old grandson sing "You Are My Sunshine." It is 32.5 inches square. The background is traditionally pieced, the letters and center orange are raw edge, and then I FMQed the entire piece.

Patricia M. :

My first quilt ever!! Basket weave that I made for my sister’s beach house!
My second quilt. I made this for my granddaughter. I inadvertently brought her with me to the fabric store and she fell in love with a certain material that to her looked like dragon skin. Perhaps a future quilter???

Janet H. Left to right :

Grammy Janet’s perky, peachy, classic nine patch blocks are paired with teal for my first granddaughter’s quilt, August 2020. I did the fun daisy quilting pattern myself renting a long-arm machine at Bits ‘n Pieces in Pelham, NH.
