This month’s guild program was by Klaudeen Hansen…
Yes, THIS one! She edits/assembles the quilts for the calenders for AQS every year. I have at least 10 yrs of these. Most are well used; I keep one in my sewing room and jot down what I’m working on and sometimes notes of what is happening with the kids or the farm or the weather. I hope they are enjoyed in years to come. She had the new 2013 ones so I am all ready for a new year. (Yes, it is OK with me to skip fall & winter if we have to be done with summer in another month.)
She shared her knowledge of Amish quilts with us and also brought along her trunk show of Amish quilts.
First a slide show. Can you believe this photo above and the one below are from the back of the dark room to the slide on the screen?! Love the camera!! The quilting on this quilt is stunning! Glad I could capture it a bit in this photo.
I’m seriously not sure how this fits in besides it is solid fabrics. But… maybe her daughter made it? I was too frantic grabbing my camera before she changed the slide, I think. 🙂 Very funny!
Above is a page of her own Amish style quilts. Click the photo to see them in a better size.
This one missed the collage page. I love the layout of the off-center log cabin.
Above — from show & tell. Some guild quilts and some are Klaudeen’s. The wonky stars (bottom left) was a good example for the class she was teaching for the guild on Tuesday.
Klaudeen showed this quilt and my friend, Patti, & I loved it!! The colors seem a bit off here… hot pink & neon green with the black!! 🙂 Patti got the pattern so we both want to make one of these. Look out show & tell! (well, give us a few months…) I have my fabrics already (I got Kona cottons) and I chose not to go with the neon look. But of course, PINK is there.
The quilting —
The fun back! —
I will miss the other guild this month so we’ll see you next month for more guild meetings!
and sew on...
