From the Sew Fine Quilters

Here are three shots of the group quilt. The pattern is Cobblestones, its great for a group, as the block is quite simple. If you want more project description:
This was planned by the Sew Fine Quilters, as a ‘Thank-You’ fund raiser for the Church where we regularly meet. Everyone agreed to make about six blocks, to combine. Some of the fun that ensued: One participant thought there was a specification for all blue blocks, another ‘remembered’ that they should be monochromatic. Everyone brought at least six, blocks; some as many as 12, so the double size became king size. Everyone assisted with arranging the block placement. The arranging was completed, and sewing partially completed at one meeting, with several members taking the rest home to complete. The backing was donated. An expert long-arm quilter in Fairbanks, Carol Mc Conahy of Icy Swan Quilting, agreed to donate the quilting, with the Sew Fines bearing only cost of the batting and postage. The quilting pattern is overall feathers. The quilt was auctioned, and raised a very significant donation for the church.

April 16 Day group

At this meeting Irene Stewart (shown here) gave a Power Point presentation of the Small Quilts from the 2008 Small Quilt Auction. Irene is still Chairperson for the Small Quilts, our main source of funds for our Famous Teachers that we bring up every year. We try to have at least 60 quilts for auction each September at our annual Quilt Show, & Irene is trying to get us excited about it now! This little dog quilt is what she just finished.

For Show & Tell, Ruthe Rasmusssen, Marge Seidler, Kay Baehr, & Winnie LaVare all got together & made table runners.
Of course Ruthe had to make hers reversible, & matching napkins!

Robin Maas made this Ginger Applique'.

Lynne Wince showed us a baby quit top that she pieced & will maybe add some applique' to.

Here is a sneak peek at this year's ALCQ Raffle Quilt. It was pieced by Louise Bremner, & quilted by Maria Schell. When the binding is done they will let me get a full picture!
