This week was the first program for the Lincoln Quilter's Guild 2008-2009. Our guest speaker was Mary Sue Suit from Sidney, Nebraska. In the photo, Mary Sue is pictured with "Sawdust" which was juried into IQS Houston Quilt Festival in Fall 2007 and she won 1st place. Mary says when she is designing a quilt she starts in the middle of the quilt, works until her fabric runs out and then that is when she decides the quilt is done. LOL Mary works a lot with geometry and triangles. Her work is amazing.
This is Mary Sue's Nebraska quilt.

The guild is also selling raffle tickets for Habitat for Humanity. This batik quilt and two other smaller quilts will find homes to the winning tickets in October.

My friend Joann asked me to make centerpieces for her sister Sam's wedding shower. The cake centerpieces are make from 2 bath towels (base), 3 hand towels (middle), and 2 washclothes (top). I made ribbon flowers and added leaves. Sam's wedding colors are a burnt orange and brown.

Hi Rebecka, you have been busy since I've been gone. I love the wedding gift centerpieces, you have a lot of talent.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, they meant so much to me.
