QBTS April Meeting - Diana Welte

We had a wonderful presentation by one of our members for our April program.  Her name is Diana Welte and she shared a fascinating history of her career in sewing as well as pottery and bookbinding.  She shared many examples of books she had done as well as a couple done by colleagues.  The one pictured here is one of those done by a friend using a composition book as its base.

This and the following picture were of one of the books she had created  The buttons are her creation as well.

This was one of a few accordion books..  

As usual, there were lots of neo-natal quilts turned in this month.  It is amazing how prolific this club is.

The above were just a few of the quilts that were walked quickly by.  This one was probably my favorite though  Have to figure out the pattern which is pretty simple.  Think it is just a square surrounded on two sides by checkerboard but they are turned.

Dianne showing her pin cushion from Michele May's class. Below are other examples from the class.  Looks just wonderful!

I don't have the names of many of the quilters but I m getting better!  This was made for a couple who wanted a more neutral look.  A nice quilt with which I am sure they will be very happy;

Really liked this improvisational quilt.

Another randomly pieced quilt!

Beautiful art quilt by Mary Harned.
