For the Grandchildren
Name of Maker: GmaLou
For the Grandchildren - Helen McCarthy gave a class on Seminole strips at Asheville Cotton Company and had us do a table runner. For inspiration for fabric buying, I chose Halloween themed fabrics. Two of my grandchildren loved to do scary decorations at Halloween. These children were getting older, perhaps to feel decorating wasn't so cool. After the class, I finished the table runner. The grandchildren have used it each Halloween since to decorate the trick or treat entrance. They are now old enough to be able to decorate outside again and still be cool. Helen's class was fun and incorporating diverse fabrics in an attractive way was so fun.

Here We Go Round In Circles
Name of Maker: Shirlee Carter
Here We Go Round In Circles - I loved using Lisa Moore's unique method for "no pins" curved piecing. I took some scraps from my stash to Lisa's class, just to learn the technique. Those scraps were so cute that I bought more fabric to complete the quilt. Fun quilt to work on.

Asterisk Mosaic
Name of Maker: Joyce Triezenberg
Asterisk Mosaic - This quilt is based on the "Asterisk Quilt" which appeared in a 2010 "Quiltmaker Magazine" article. I deviated from the quilt shown in “Quiltmaker Magazine” by adding a 1/2 inch dark brown print sashing. The inserts are all 1/2 inch, too, so this creates a sort of mosaic effect. I changed the borders as well, using a narrow inner batik border and a floral mitered outer border instead of the pieced border found in the original magazine article. You can find all my posts about making this quilt at http://quiltsbyjoyce.wordpress.com/category/quilting/asterisk-quilt/ .
