Wow! May’s Show and Tell was amazing. There were so many very large quilts this month. My apologies to their owners for the photos of their quilts. In our current space it’s almost impossible to show a queen size quilt as there is no open, flat, elevated space to allow the quilts to hang straight when they are held up. As a result, the big quilts were folding down on the floor. So, not quite all in their much-deserved glory, but the best that could be done in the circumstances. They are really all fabulous quilts!

Show and Tell, October 27, 2021
Despite a windy and rainy October Nor’Easter we had a good turn out for our meeting. This is Show and Tell from Covid Lock-down for members whose last names start with the letters L-Z.
Show and Tell - October 13, 2021 Members with Last Names G- K
Another great meeting with the second round of Show and Tell quilts sewn by our members during lock down due to the Covid 19 epidemic. So many beautiful quilts!
Show and Tell, September 22, Members with Last Names A-F
On September 22, 2021, we had our first quilt guild meeting since January 2020. Members with last names starting with A through F were invited to show quilts they had sewn since our last meeting. Show and Tells for the rest of the alphabet will be done at our next two meetings.
The light in the room was behind the quilts, so the colors in the quilts are duller than in real life. My apologies. Will see if we can find a better location to take the photos next meeting.
Virtual Show and Tell - October 2020
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!
Claire C. : Left to Right:
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!
Mary H. : Left to right
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.
Judy T. Left to right:
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.
Baby quilt made in December 2019 using the hounds tooth block of the PBQ month from June 2018.
Jane C. “Forty Shades of Green” made for our 40th Anniversary in August.
Marcia K. All these quilts are charity quilts to be donated to PBQ. Left to right:
Black Dot Multicolor Weave. Original design. Love the challenge of making sure the stripes all weave in and out.
Green wheelchair. Original design. Made specifically to give to Kace when she requested quilts for people in wheelchairs.
Rainbow Star. Original design. Crib/nap quilt.
Nancy D. Left to right:
Hand printed flowers from my garden, with commercial fabrics.
Goin’ to the City lap quilt.
Scrappy lap quilt.
Kathy A. : “Wild Animals”. The center is a panel and the rest is pieced and appliquéd. It’s a gift for my granddaughter’s nanny who is expecting a son in January. I pieced and appliquéd the quilt. It was quilted by Cindy LeBaron.
Sr. Clare : A Three Dudes Quilt from a tutorial by Jenny Doan and Rob Appell. This quilt was made to drape over the arm chair of a priest-friend of mine. 36 x 68 inches.
Pat K. : Left to right. All these quilts were quilted by Rhonda Deering, South Dartmouth, MA.
Scraps from my quilt table…no pattern. 38 x 44 inches
Merry Christmas Cait. Pattern is “Sweet Love”. 51 x 61 inches.
Baby Girl. Pattern is “Slide Show” by Arkinson Design. 53 x 68 inches.
Anne F. : “Starry Starry Night”, completed entirely from my mother-in-law’s stash for a baby due to arrive in the world in November!

We had a Show and Tell at our end of the year June dinner. Included were the floral quilts and quilt tops from the 2018-2019 Mystery Quilt project hosted by Marcia Kennedy, as well as other quilts members have been working on. The Minimalist Modern Round Robin group shared their quilt tops too (hopefully to be shown at a later date when they are finished), making for a diverse and fun Show and Tell.

Show and Tell - May 23, 2018
May's Show and Tell was full of beautiful and creative quilts. It was so much fun to see all these quilts!
See if you can find the red work that got a facelift! Carleen brought a quilt made with the block of the month "from years ago" with the great name "Crackers and Cheese." The quilt that Batoul's little boy made with all his favorite things is super awesome!! Janet's spectacular snowball quilt is going to a charity in Connecticut in the fall and we have high hopes for Eileen's amazing quilt.

A fun April Show and Tell! Even the quilts are showing signs of Spring and Summer!
Show and Tell - February 14, 2018
We had a great Show and Tell. It was the focus of the Valentine's Day meeting. Here are some, but not all, of the quilts.
There were quite a few folks who worked on the 2018 Merry Mayhem's New Year's Day Mystery quilt. This wasn't a PBQ Guild project, but it is an annual tradition for some of our members. Here are just a few of those quilts.
