February Guild. . .

 

 

Here I am again playing catch up.

 

It seems like the New Year came and before I knew it was almost spring.  :)

 

Our February guild was a work meeting.  It's what we call a Doggy Treat day.

 

We had a great turn out!

After business was discussed we had our show and tell.

 

Laurie has been busy makin amazing wool projects.

 

 

 

Sue is ready for spring with this cute quilt.

 

 

She makes the sweetest things with her scraps.  What little girl wouldn't love this darling blankie for their doll?

 

And let's not forget Valentines. 

I found some fun Kewpie blocks at an estate sale and decided to stitch them and turn them into a Valentines runner.

Janey's showing a little love as well.  :)

 

Cheryl is getting a jump on things for fall.  Love these whimsical wool projects!

 

A sweet Valentines topper by Jill.

 

It's not too late to display snowment in February.  Isn't he so fun?

 

Another cute winter project by Lynda.

 

Our wonderful President, Nancy is sharing a bit of love herself.

 

I love the colors on this fun runner.

 

 

 

This year Nancy is having us bring a special quilt to share each month.  February's theme was a quilt that tells your story.

 

I will be updating this post when I get the info to share about

 each quilt.

 

 

 

I was a convert to the LDS chruch at age 11.  This quilt is the Joseph Smith quilt and was designed by two members of our guild,  Nancy and Joylyn.  Joseph Smith restored the gospel and was the first President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Even as a young girl, I knew in my heart that the story of Joseph Smith seeing God the father and his son, Jesus Christ to be true.

 

Joylyn's is a Union Jack quilt called "Victory Garden" with the British Flag.  It reminds her of her ancestors from the British Isles who made great sacrifices that enrich her life and the lives of her family.  It has a collection of flowered fabics that celebrate her love of gardening, which the "Victory Garden" name also celebrates.

 

Happy quilting,
