How do you tie together an eclectic collections of quilts made over the years? Judy Vore and her mother showed us many examples they dubbed The Lonely Quilt Club so they could share their quilts that didn’t necessarily fit a “theme” but were beautiful just the same.

June 2021 Meeting
June 2021 Meeting
Nitetime Needlers held a traditional in-person meeting on June 10. The program presented by Kelly Ashton on Fussy and Fabulous—Let the Fabric Work for You was WONDERFUL! She showed many examples of how centering isolated motifs and matching stripes and patterns can take simple blocks to the next level. Her specialty is working with diamonds, triangles and hexagons, but even the square blocks were striking.
Right: Elements of print fabric are enhanced when centered in hexagons, also creating a more unified design.
Kelly Ashton opened the program showing a quilt her grandmother made before she was born. The carefully cut flower petals inspired her body of work.
Matching stripes carefully on triangles set into squares creates a visually stunning quilt.
Show and Tell: Mary Ann Heston shows us her latest quilt made from tiny hexagons, paper pieced and quilted by hand.

Our May meeting featured a substitute speaker, but there was nothing substitute about Jackie Keirnan-Hale’s body of artwork. Our guild president artfully combines printed fabrics, colored pencil strokes, hand embroidery and embellishments into wonderful landscapes and nature themed art. There is a reason her beautifully colored and textured work is accepted at many shows. If you missed this, visit her website at https://jackiekeirnanhale.com
