Show & Tell - Applique, Coins & Jelly Roll Race

Tweet

These are some pictures from my last 2 meetings with the Dhahran Oasis Quilt Guild in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

 BRENDA MADE THIS AWESOME STAGGERED COIN QUILT TOP.

 BRENDA IS REALLY INTO APPLIQUE.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY OF THESE 3 PATTERNS, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT BELOW.  IF YOU ARE A NO-REPLY BLOGGER, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN YOUR COMMENT.  IF I DON'T SEND THE PATTERN(S) RIGHT AWAY, PLEASE GIVE ME A FEW DAYS AS I MIGHT BE BUSY.

 THIS WAS A RANDOM SIZED COIN QUILT TOP IN THE WORKS.  TAKE A CHARM PACK AND CUT INTO THESE SIZES BEFORE RANDOMLY PIECING TOGETHER:

 THESE 4 HARVEST PICTURES WERE A JELLY ROLL RACE QUILT TOP THAT BRENDA DID.  IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A JELLY ROLL RACE IS, VIEW THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BELOW COURTESY OF MISSOURI STAR QUILT COMPANY.

 THESE ARE STAGGERED COIN BLOCKS UNPIECED ON THE DESIGN WALL.  I AM DIGGIN' THIS DESIGN AND THE COLORS.

THIS WAS A MYSTERY QUILT THAT THE GROUP WAS WORKING ON.

This is another very well known publication that my friend Brenda Sanders was published in.  I met her while being a member of the Dhahran Oasis Quilt Guild in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.  Brenda is a totally cool person and has her hands into all sorts of projects at any given time.  She has a great love for applique and if I remember correctly she has been quilting for only like 3 or so years!  She is truly inspiring!

She created a very cute block for the Fat Quarterly publication titled "Woodland Tails Crown".

 HER CUTE BLOCK.  I THINK SHE CHOSE GREAT FABRICS.

CHECK OUT BRENDA'S FLICKR PAGE.  I'M SURE SHE WOULD BE EXCITED TO HEAR FROM OTHER FELLOW QUILTERS THAT THINK HER WORK IS COOL TOO!

Quilts Taking Over! - but Who's Complaining?

One day 3 of us ladies from the Dhahran Oasis Quilt Guild in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia got together for a day of sewing, basicly a simple version of a Sewing Retreat.  We talked, drank some tea in the garden, did some sewing, adored the cats, grabbed some lunch, etc.  It was a really fun day.  When I walked into Brenda's home I was happily surprised to see the house taken over by quilts and sewing areas/rooms.  I always have my camera with me so I had to take pictures to share with yall.
