Our WIP It Up Contest ended! All the prizes are listed here. Thank you to Pennington Quilt Works, Windham Fabrics, Cloud 9 Fabrics, and Aurifil for donating prizes, and congrats to all those who finished quilts this year!
We held the largest swap of the year, the Secret Quilter Holiday swap. 24 members participated this year! It was a blast. Here are some of the pictures from the swap - see our Instagram account, @cjmqg, or our Flickr group for more.
Yes, you saw that right - in that last picture, Jamee made Catherine an entire QUILT! Wow!!
Though it was tough to top that display, as always, we had show and tell.
Susan finished her Saturday Sampler from 2014!
Krishma shared her response to the poaching of Cecil the lion.
Lori had a lot of fun with Liberty fabrics, and it shows!
Jamee made this bright and lovely medallion-like quilt.
