Toni – quilted one of our charity quilts. She free-motion quilted the quilt and incorporated some feathered hearts. She also shared a layer cake quilt she made and her husband named it Temecula fruit cocktail.
Jessica – made a Valentine’s Day mini quilt using 2.5” squares. She also made a quilt top for a wall hanging made from a panel kit she bought from Primitive Gatherings called “Homegrown”. She also made three Christmas table runners she made from a quick tutorial she found by searching “15-minute table runner”
Sue – Finished her Christmas quilt. She used a layer cake, some fabric with metallic gold, and Glide thread that added some sheen as well.
