Lish Croes presented three projects.  The first, her quilt, entitled “Evening Star,” was quilted by Monta Horner.  The Evening Star was the project she did in the class taught by Debbie Maddy on August 3, 2007.  The only fabric purchased was the cream background fabric. 

Lish Croes second project was a quilt that was made when Bee Charitable had a class on Stack N Whack and One Block Wonders. 

Lish Croes third project was the wall hanging she made in the Carol Taylor class on October 5, 2007, which she called “Circles.”  She used her African fabrics for this wall hanging.

Mary Jane Wilson presented three projects.  The first, a jacket, was the result of an ugly fabric challenge for the American Sewing Guild, Sewing Friends group.  Each person had to use the ½ yard of ugly fabric where it showed.  Being a quilter, she knew she could eat up half of that in the seams.  She was so efficient that she had to go buy extra fabric for the binding.   The jacket was made on a sweatshirt.  Pictured above and below

Mary Jane Wilson second and third projects were reversible table runners using the Cotton Theory “with a few” changes.  The one in the book was too narrow, so she turned the place mats sideways and added a triangle to each end.  The first table runner’s fabric are for October / November and the second table runner’s fabrics are for February / December.  Pictures above and below

Mary Taylor presented three of the quilts she made for her grandchildren for Christmas 2007.  The first, called “Taylor’s Red Raiders” was made for her grandson, Taylor Knight, a first year student at Texas Tech University who loves everything about Texas Tech. 

The second quilt by Mary Taylor, called “Butterflies for Ashlee” was made for her granddaughter, Ashlee Taylor, a senior at Dallas Baptist University, who will graduate in December 2008.  Ashlee’s personality reminds her of butterflies because she “flutters all the time.” 

The third quilt by Mary Taylor, called “Apples and ipods” was made for her grandson, Coley Taylor, a senior at Kingwood High School.  She described Coley as a techie electronics geek who loves his Apple computers and ipods.  The quilt contains his family’s and friends’ pictures on ipods and MacBook screen savers.  All three quilts were quilted by Stephanie Sumpter.
