September 1, 2016, Program and Show and Tell

During a short program, Kate demonstrated the construction process for the Three-Seam Christmas Stocking that the Night Group makes as a service project.
In preparation for ALCQ's 2016 Great Alaska Quilt Show, Marilyn and Katy demonstrated the proper way to hang quilts on the racks. We expect to have a fantastic show on September 17-18 at the ConocoPhillips Atrium. Check the Annual Quilt show page for details.
Bonnie designed and created "Mermaid Kisses and Starfish Wishes" for a niece who is expecting. Bonnie's sister requested that the mermaid not have a head so that the child's head can fill that space.

Chris created this small wall-hanging using a block from a Teresa Ascone panel.

Chris created this reversible quilt in a class taught by Barbara Shapel. The machine stitching is done in a way that creates both a front image (above) and a back image (below). Amazing!


Darlene's visiting granddaughter made this small quilt to go with the floppy frog lying on the table.

Darlene pieced and quilted this modern table-runner.

Previously, Deb has made a quilt from her daughter's deceased friend's clothing. Using left-over fabric, Deb made this bowl for her daughter.

This Christmas wall-hanging is the result of blocks given Deb by the guild she belonged to in Michigan.

Members "oohed and aahed" over Deb's intricate quilting on this gift for her granddaughter.
