PTA in May

My wonderful Asheville group had our monthly gathering last week. Show and Tell is a favorite part. I thought I would share some items.

 Linda made this improvisational "modern Quilt". I especially like the black lines that she stitched.

 Judy showed this wonderful piece. She has a really nice method of applying the floral motifs, which is featured on her blog "Windy Hill Happenings". The feather quilting is especially nice.

 Gen made this really appealing mixed media piece. The small flowers in the center of each block are made from paper.

 Connie was featured in the Asheville Newspaper a few weeks ago. The students at the school where she works part time made this laminated poster for her.

 Here is Connie in a fun apron made from a vintage tablecloth given to her. In her hand is a small box with bees. Connie is an active bee keeper.

This is a close up of the bee box. There are 2 bees and a potential queen inside. When the queen is ready, she will be introduced to a hive.

 Janice has been making pieces from photographs printed on fabric. I really like the combination of the trees in winter with the tree fully leafed out.

 This is a really nice idea she has for labeling her pieces.

 Unfortunately, this piece is rotated 90 degrees. The tree with all the white blossoms gives a wonderful 3D puffy feel to the piece.

 Dort made a baby quilt and I really likes the animal motifs she quilted along the borders. This one is an elongated cat.

 This teddy bear was on another border edge.
