General Meeting, December 8, 2019, 

Cockeysville Public Library


Our holiday party included goodies to eat, lots of time for happy chatting, quilt-themed Charades and a fat quarter exchange. Here are the show and tell details:





Susan  Brightman shared a brief demo of making 
pillowcases with the burrito method (a stash-busting project idea). 
She uses yardage to create pillowcases for gifts and 
charity donations (House of Ruth).



Valarie McNeese shared her finished Quilt In A Box (2018) project.




Sarah Lefebvre shared her completed Hoffman Challenge 
project for QuiltCon (the background print is palm trees).





Monica Richardson showed her quarter log 
cabin with a detail of the big stitch hand quilting; 
she did say she would use  a quilting hoop the next time she does this.




Monica finished foxy baby quilts for a co-worker's twin girls.


Monica also finished a Range back pack using fabrics from Domesticity.






MJ Snyder has been making some fun holiday projects

including machine embroidered snowballs, 

a mug rug and a foundation pieced polar 

bear block from Quiltmaker Magazine.





Jane Schiemer shared two completed quilts. The top (sharp points) project was foundation pieced and took ten years to finish; the bottom quilt is an Almost Amish puss in the corner design.




Gayne Barlow-Kemper's son's girlfriend recently completed her masters degree in Library Science and Poetry; Gayne made her a book shelf quilt in commemoration.




Daniela Syed made a Thanksgiving turkey pillow 
and a cute vintage snow globes table 
runner from a design by Lori Holt.


Phyllis Cook finished the top to commemorate 
her daughter's wedding ... made from the table
 toppers she created for their reception.






Jenn Paulson made a Christmas quilt for her 
parents, partly as a challenge from her son.







Laura Baltatzis completed an online bee, added an applique turtle and finished it as a donation quilt for Head Start. She also made a third Christmas pillow for her mother in law.





Marsha Barnes made a lap quilt for her tall husband.




Kathy Palmer made a Lotties Block for a family friend's baby.




Wishing you all a happy holiday season!
Linda Schiffer
