Super Moon, Possum Town Quilters, and Nell’s Quilts

Life …

… as a Quilter

The Possum Town Quilters are a great inspiration to me. Here are a few quilts shown at our last meeting.

We had a guest speaker, Nell Oliver, who came and showed us a few of her quilts.

I thought this top was finished and ready to be quilted. But no, Nell is adding another round of beautiful applique to make it a bed size quilt.

Our Possum Town quilters are eagerly learning her techniques for hand applique.

We welcomed a new grandchild on my birthday, June 30. Joel and Sheila are glad to have Delta Joy join their family with Georgi and Talya. She only weighed 4 lbs. and 15 oz..

Some of us ladies with the Possum Town Quilters went to Jackson to the Ag Museum to …

… to honor these 2014 Outstanding Mississippi Quilters.

We could have spent more time at the museum.

Lawana S. from our guild was one of the ten. She had this log cabin quilt and …

this quilt displayed in the museum along with the other quilts of the honorees.

My “nine patch” is still a work in progress. I have 12 blocks yet to go.

Possum Town Quilters

Here are a few pictures from our “Show and Tell” time at our meeting on Saturday.

Life and Possum Town Quilters

Life …

Kirby graduated from kindergarten.

Miss Kendra made dresses for the girls in the class.

And then more and more children wanted their picture taken.

Fun on the seesaws.

For teaching school for 3 years, our sewing circle gave Miss Renee a quilt, Raspberry Cactus. She is second from the right.

Oh, if only I were old enough to play Prisoner’s Base.

More fun on the playground.

Katie, a new quilter, makes wee quilts for stillborn babies. One to wrap the baby in for burial and the other for the grieving parents.

Sue’s “2 for 1 Hula” blocks, Hawaiian style from the Stacy Michell class I took with her in Paducah.

Another quilt by Sue.

 

Diane’s Christmas Medallion

Barb’s medallion quilt.

One block and 2 completely different quilts.

Possum Town Quilters

We had lots of inspiration at our recent meeting of our local quilt guild.

Judy and Lauren pieced this quilt top to be hand quilted in this next year for the Columbus Welcome Center.

Judy showed us her Bonnie Hunter’s “Easy Street” from last year’s mystery quilt.

Some of the ladies finished their “Silos” (and a dead tree) from the class I taught several weeks ago.

Barb’s “Airplanes” will make a great quilt for a flying enthusiast grandchild.

Tonya, our ‘over achiever’ finished her 2013 Block of the Month quilt.

Terri is about to finish this quilt for her nephew.

Patti made a small quilt to improve her hand quilting.
