October  Quilt  Layton Guild meeting

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Can you believe it's October? I get out my acrylic

paints and paint little faces and cute scenes on mini

pumpkins for my family and neighbors! They are a blast to

give away! It's fun to see their faces light up!

The air is different this time of year... The mornings are

cooler...YIKES!! I've even had my furnace on!! My grand

children and I counted pumpkins on porches. The orange

and purples are everywhere! I've completed 2 new mini

quilts to hang on my mini wood stands. Can you tell it's

my favorite time of year!!

Didn't we have a great Quilt Fest at Layton this year?

What a fantastic quilt show they had! Some of our favorite

people entered quilts! They were truly amazing!! Several

quilting friends won ribbons, even money! Mostly sharing

those beautiful works of art is very inspiring! Looking

forward to next year!

Hope you are finding things that ZING your heart and

make you want to think beyond the walls, box, fence...

Life is truly grand and I can't think of anything nicer than

bundling up in a warm quilt or giving a quilt away! Sew

get out the creative juices and your machines and sew,

sew, sew!!

I think I want to wish to each and every one of you lots

and lots of refilled bobbins! If we say may your bobbin

never run out, then that means we may not be sewing as

much as we want!! SEW lots of refills to you!

UFO # is  10 with this being the last number it is hoped that your list of 10 is done or very close. Don't forget to report what you have done as we want you to receive credit for your accomplishment. 

Are you working on your Mystery quilt? How is yours coming along will it be finished and ready show case at our Christmas luncheon/meeting? Any questions contact Denise. 

Challenge – We have a new challenge for the rest of the year. Polka dots! A copy of the rules will be passed out at guild meeting. Get busy working on yours!


The Women’s shelter is in need of twin sized quilts for all the beds they have there. A quilt would do so much to make it a more homey and happy place to be so if you can make one to

donate that would be fantastic!

At the end of our meeting we will have a discussion about the national teacher next year. If you have any questions please stay for this discussion.  A vote will be taken at our November meeting. 

At our meeting this time the show and tell was first, allowing us to enjoy the lovely creations by guild members and to have time for guild business. Enjoy the pictures below to what we were blessed to have seen and know that the members who weren't able to attend were greatly missed. 

A Onsie dress with a bit of embellishments is the best for a new baby to ear. Helping those that love on her to enjoy it and the baby is comfortable also. 

A special day requires a special dress: this one was made by Brenda for her first grand baby Miss. Ruby. the dress was designed and made by Brenda using the resources she could find and adding what the dress needed. Ruby was an angle in white as she was Blessed in her new dress. 

It's always fun to find fun fabrics on the clearance isle, add them to a onsie and you have something special. 

Diane showed us her beautiful completed quilt. She isn't so sure of the colors but it was a hit with all that attended our meeting.  With the light shining through the window the quilt has a couple of different looks. Which one is your favorite? 

Nicky was a sweet heart to show us her lovely  wool creations and this fun Halloween quilt. She also gave the pattern of the quilt away stating she only makes things once. I like her thinking and might have to follow her example but would really like to get a hold of the pattern to make this fun Halloween quilt. She also had a great way to keep track of what year she started a projects. WOW that is impressive and something I need to learn how to do. 

Vivian has been making a lovely civil war quilt with a doll to match for her grand daughters. What a fun idea. She makes them to match one another as a set. 

Vivian shows us one of her doll quilts love the color combinations. Job well done. 

Diane make her doll into a witch what a fun idea. Mine is still in the works and some day it will be made. I love the idea of a which maybe I'll do mine as a cupid or elf. Time will tell. 

Check out this amazing work of art. I love the S shape what a fun table topper. 

Sherry took a class and learned how to take one of the card board bolts and turn it in to an iron cover. What a fun project and a fun addition to her sewing room and travel sewing stuff. 

Joan showed us this fun basket quilt from the years. Complete with signatures. If you look close do you see yours?

Michelle took a class at Annaul meeting and she made herself this fun wall hanging. 

Michelle has been busy making pillows and finishing her UFO's. I love her house pillow. What a creative way to use up the house block pattern we were given. 

This pillow made by Michelle would would be a fun addition to my house. Love the country colors and fun appliques. 

A fun quilt for a daughters bed, Michelle showed us one of her UFO projects, The back has some Japanize hand writing and some beautiful quilting. 

Michelle shared with us a beautiful quilt made by a family member,  She has been entrusted to care for it and donate it when she is done loving it. 

A fun purse for Sues grand daughter, filled with hugs and kisses. 

Sues used some fun twist and turns to make this fun withces hat. 

Nicki showed us her fun quilts with the help of Michelle, the lovely Christmas quilt is for her and the other one is for her sister as a gift.  They are both beautiful and works of work thank you for sharing.
