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.


Inside the cover.
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.


This is a Quilt of Valor which will be a workshop that Miranda Dungan will be leading in May (I won't be here for this unfortunately).


 A very large flower quilt -- gorgeous!!



This is a beautiful applique quilt by Ann Millard.
