In addition to quilting my own projects, I am a member of the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club Stitch and Chat interest group. We meet monthly and are working on quilts for Alzheimer’s patients here in the Monument area. This talented bunch of ladies is working hard to amass quilts prior to the opening of memory care facilities here in the local area by the fall. Thought I would share some of our efforts to date in a photo show of finished and almost-finished quilts! I also wanted to give a shout-out to this talented group. Thank-you Vicki Davis, Kay Ford, Michele Hanley, Becky Hassler, Marki Morison-Gille, Deb Munsell, Kathy Murphy, Bonnie Nasser, Sandra Sciadini, Ann Sentman and Sheila Walker. Awesome work indeed!

Well, it turned out we had another beautiful quilt top already finished so my bordered diamonds quilt was not needed for the TLWC’s 2015 Pine Forest Show & Sale.  I think I might just finish this quilt and save it for next year’s show. Or maybe not.  Here is the completed top from a high level view with me standing on the chair looking down. This quilt is bigger than I thought it would be. Here’s a closer look ... And even closer still...  this was a FUN pattern to piece together! Now it is time to think about what the quilt back might look like and get that part of the project underway. Happy quilting! Susan

My quilt for the Tri Lakes Women's Club (TLWC) 2015 Pine Forest Show and Sale is well underway. Keeping with the springtime theme, the fabrics are a cheerful mix of Rowan floral fabrics with Martha Negley tree rings and sticks for the borders. This is a fun Kaffe pattern called "Bordered Diamonds", a great way to show off the large floral prints. Hope to see you at the show in Monument, Colorado, on the first weekend in May. Perhaps if you purchase a raffle ticket, you might win this springtime quilt pieced by Susan and quilted by Jennet at IcePurplePenguin. All monies raised go to the TLWC charitable grants program and right back into our local community. Happy quilting! Susan
