Kelly @kellyspell bought this vintage #bowtiequilt top at an estate sale for $10 😲 She backed it using fabric she already had on hand, and she quilted it with a large tulip motif. Kelly guesstimates the top was made in the 1930s or 40s, what do you think? Have you ever seen one arranged this way? #chattmqg #noogamade #vintagequilt #antiquequilt

Give a warm welcome to new guild member Pat Barber 🤗 She brought this quilt and a table runner top to our last meeting, aren’t they gorgeous? 😍 #chattmqg #noogamade

Finished with everything except the binding? Join us next Saturday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. as we examine an array of binding and finishing techniques for modern quilts.
.
Karen @kmdowner will show us how to speed up an old standby—the single fold—and we’ll look at two ways to face a quilt. Karen will also demonstrate how to ‘birth’ a quilt, how to frame one with fabric, and how to add faux piping to a binding.
.
During the program, we’ll discuss binding fabric, proper presser feet, and how to select the best finishing technique for a quilt. If you have quilts with non-traditional bindings, please bring them to share with the group. See you soon! #chattmqg #noogagram #showusyourmqg
