You can pick up a Quillow Kit at

Quilt Work Patches on 3rd Street in Corvallis

Sew up the Quillow...

You can tie it or quilt it, your choice

Return the completed Quillow to

Geary at Quilt Work Patches

Creating Quillows was our very first class at HVQ

We donated 12 completed Quillows to

The Old Mill School....8 years ago

The new school year will be starting shortly and the

children will all need a Quillow for nap time.

Won't you call Geary at Quilt Work Patches

Many Thanks for sharing your heart and your hands.

Our Comfort Quilts and Raffle Quilts are created with donated Fabrics, Battings and Threads.

Linda is handstitching a binding...

This lap quilt was created in our Circle Quilt Class

Kathi enjoyed the free motion quilting on this quilt...

Linda is putting on the final touch...

a hand stitched binding.

Kathi is making more Houses...

She plans to teach the members how to make Wonky House Quilts.

This house has tea cup windows...

No pattern required...

Just cut and piece-as-you-go

Nothing to match up

The Wonkier the Better.

We are all looking forward to creating Wonky Houses for comfort quilts.

Barbara is working on a Quilt-As-You-Go...

All of the block and border sections have been quilted separately.

She is now topstitching binding over the seam allowances.

This method eliminates having to deal with entire quilt under the needle during the machine quilting process.

Barbara uses a walking foot to do the top stitching

I am starting a new Wallpaper Quilt today...

I spent the day sewing strips together...

It was so relaxing to just sit and do mindless piecing

By the end of the day I had a mound of strips behind the sewing machine.

Thelma is here visiting today...

She hand embroidered these quilt blocks

She is sewing sashing between the embroidered blocks.

That's all for this month.
