Herring Run Quilters' Guild

A special highlight of every meeting is when our guild members show us their latest creations. Show & Tell in school was never this much fun. It continues to inspire us all! Please check out some of the pictures to see our latest creations.

CONGRATULATIONS!

To our joy, HRQG members are prolific sewers. It is great to see our members winning awards for their quilting as well as for their other skills.

Slice quilts!!! “Arena Farms” was at “The Gathering” in New Hampshire. Did you see it? What a wonderful way to make a group quilt. Two Herring Run quilters, Penny Myles and Janet Dignan made slices of this amazing quilt. Also “Boston’s Fenway Park” was at the 2009 Houston Quilt Festival where it was awarded a 3^rd place rosette. Penny Myles and Anne Marcin (our guilds’ biggest Red Sox fan) each made a slice. These Herring Run quilters created these slice quilts as members of the Coastal Quilt Artists. The slice quilts are featured in a three page spread in the December/January 2010 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter on pages 38-40. Congratulations to all the Coastal Quilt Artists!!  For a close-up view of the “Boston Fenway Park” quilt go to ttp://www.bobbiesullivan.com/cqa_fenway.htm.

Guild member Kathy Rich had two quilts hanging at “The Gathering” in New Hampshire called “Stars over Mendon” and “Fresh Bouquet”. Both quilts are just wonderful and have plenty of quilting. Kathy has become a very good machine quilter and her work is “perfection”. I enjoyed the quilt show and the hunt to f

ind both of her quilts. Congratulations Kathy!
