I worked on this scrap buster at our recent Retreat. My goal was to use what I had, and also I wanted to do QAYG better. There is not one stitching seam visible on the front. It's there but almost invisible. Also, no lumps at the corners. Below is the back.Most of the project was completed at the Retreat. One of the guild liked it and asked me to teach the technique NEXT YEAR (!!!). Gotta hand it to her planning ability!
Velma was making these cute shirts at our Retreat. Her family heritage is from ??? I forgot! and each shirt is made from unique fabric from that country.
Our Retreat tablemate, "C", was using an old, dilapitated Teddy Bear as a pin cushion. Despite that was none of our business, several of us Retreaters were having difficulty seeing the poor thing with all thos pins in his head. "C" left the area for several hours and her tablemates took advantage of her absense and gave poor teddy bear oxygen, and a few bandages, and an arm cast made of coffee stirers, hoping he'd come back to a better state of life. Then, of course, he had to have a quilt, which was gladly produced instantly. Someone else wrote up Doctor's Order and made a "QUIET" warning. We were a little concerned if "C" would appreciate the level of care we had risen to, but when she returned, she let out a good laugh. You'd think we were all 12 years old!
This year I volunteered to assist with Guild Block of the Month presentation. I did the sewing of samples and a co-worker did the technical computer and EQ work for the handouts. Members frequently say, "I wish we could see what the BOM blocks look like in a quilt" so we decided to have a finished quilt made from each of the BOM blocks.
