Everyone had a splendid time at our June Sew Day. We each did a block of paper piecing of a palm leaf to make into a charity quilt for the Modern Quilt Guild. We have a pattern designed by our president Christine, that shows gradients for the palm leaves. The theme is color shift with a two color gradient. The quilt will be worked on by the whole Oahu Modern Quilt guild and then donated and auctioned by the Modern Quilt Guild who will donate the proceeds to two Atlanta area charities where the 2023 QuiltCon will be held.
Some of us found the paper piecing easy to do since we knew how to paper piecing. Others, like me, have since vowed to never do paper piecing again. It’s hard enough to do regular piecing, but thinking upside down and backwards!!!. After the scrumptious potluck lunch we had, ALL of us seemed to have a harder time concentrating. A lot of “Oh, I’ve got to take out the stitches and resew this one again” comments were heard.
We also showed the results of the name challenge quilt where we had to sew using only two colors representing our first and last name. Here’s one of the winners.
