June Guild

Hello from the Kennel Girls!

Although we were not able to tour RaeAnn’s sewing room this month the wonderful collections in her home did not leave us disappointed.

She welcomed us in and we had a wonderful meeting.

Her kitchen and family room held such vintage eye candy. . .

Some she has collected and others were family heirlooms.

So many fun things !

After I finished snapping we started the meeting.

Many of the members had their basket blocks completed for our charity quilt.

In attendance was Amanda, RaeAnn, Cindy, Rita, Susann, Lynda, and Jill.

Rita amazed us again with her fabulous show and tell.

Isn’t this quilt fun for the Lego lover?

Is this not gorgeous?

I was almost embarrassed to follow with this little quilt.  But must admit. . .I have had the fabric for years so I am happy to have it finished!  Notice it isn’t bound yet?

Afterwards I snapped a few of the quilts RaeAnn had on display in her home.

We had a fun time!   Lynda explained how to make her pillow bundle rolls and some of the members stayed and sewed for a couple hours.

A lot of pictures, but I hope you enjoyed seeing  what the Kennel Girls are up to.

Happy Quilting,

Sewing Room Tour #2 and April Guild Meeting. . .

Our second sewing room tour took place at the home of our wonderful President,  Amanda.

I was out of town and so sad that I missed it!  Thanks to RaeAnn and Rita for taking these photos.

The Kennel girls received a bit of ‘love’ from this birdhouse at the entrance of Amanda’s home.

And this cute umbrella filled with blooms couldn’t help but bring a ray of sunshine!

Her talent is evident by the many handmade pillows and quilts she had on display.
