May 15th Quilt's Theme

Chosen by Rita--MYSTERY!  Announcing early, to accommodate some who are attending a quilting workshop and might want to base their workshop quilt on the May theme.

More 12 X 12s

I also participated in our guild's 12 X 12 challenge along with fellow MM Andrea.  It was a great experience and so much fun I took the bait and joined MMs!!

Here are my renditions of the themes.

Be My Valentine, Hardware

Shoes, Letters

Travel, Beach

Nature, Food

Fan, Positive-Negative

Prescription, Photo

Twelve 12 x 12's done!

Material Maven member Nedra & I co-chaired a twelve month, 12 x 12 challenge for our small ( 50 member ) guild which ended last week with a display of the quilts. Unfortunately, we didn't inspire many to participate, but those who did, really enjoyed the process. Above are the photos of my quilts.

Here's are the themes for the 12 quilts:

[Incidentally, the first photo should have been the last one!]
