2017 Scrap Club Summer Reveals

 Greetings Quilters!

Welcome to the

2017 Summer Scrap Club

Final Reveal

held

October 26, 2017

St. Paul Old KC Hall, St. Paul, Missouri.

For those of you who may not be going to the

International Quilt Festival in Houston this week,

here is an opportunity for you to see some wonderful

works of art.

Scrap Club hosted by Kevin the Quilter

had it's final reveal of our Summer Session

projects, and what a reveal it was!

The participation level was enormous as you will 

soon see.  I can't express how humbled and

overwhelmed with joy I am with this group

of area artists.

To think they want to come spend time

with Lil' ole me where we all learn and grow

together, all while working on some scrappy quilting

projects makes my heart literally sing!

I will provide some commentary throughout the

following photos.  For fear of misspelling or mixing up names

I am going to leave them out this time.

Go get your favorite beverage and a snack and 

enjoy the show!

(Disclaimer:  My long time photography

friend, Mike, agreed to photograph

this event for me gratis.  I think he did a great job.

Although not all of each quilt is displayed in some of the

photos, I am so thankful to have a friend willing to

help me out like this.) 

 A beautiful Fall display was arranged by our 

hostess with the mostest, Roxann.

Thanks to Sue who arranged for us to use

this wonderful facility in order to gather and show our work!

Thanks to all of the quilters who provided

a delicious array of cookies.

 Quilting friends (and former neighbors) reunite!

  Visiting before the reveal starts.

The "Grim RIPPER"

made an appearance!

YIKES!!!!!!!

Very clever costume Jeanne!

 To start our evening off,

I had to thank those who helped throughout this session

of Scrap Club for their time and efforts.

Dar, Linda, Sue, and Roxann received little

tokens of my appreciation in the form of 

tiny little 16 patch quilts.

OK, OK, OK, they can be used as a potholder too! LOL

 Voting on our next Scrap Club projects.

 And then it was time to show our works.

For this session of Scrap Club, along side the

Sapphire Stars Mystery Quilt,

we made 16 patch "make-a-long" projects

to help us use up those scraps!

Since we were in a time crunch to get

the mystery complete, no quilting was

mandatory on any of the projects,

but, completed tops were.

Here are the

SMALL 16 PATCH

PROJECTS

These were projects smaller than a crib quilt.

In order to qualify for the prize drawing

you had to have your completed 16 patch top

project present at this reveal,

then your name was placed in the drawing

for the prize.

I love seeing how creative these quilters are!

 My wall hanging is a true testament to

working with leaders and enders.

All blocks made for this project were constructed

while piecing my mystery quilt.

I was excluded from the prize drawing of course.

I want to lead by example!

 This is thinking outside the "bag!"

 Tiny 16 patches in the 3 flower centers!

 Rectangle 16 patches!

So cool!

 I am holding up for a Scrap Club member not present.

And the winner for the drawing of a 

small prize bundle courtesy of

O'SewPersonal

was.....

  Sue!

Congrats Sue!

Next are the

LARGE 16 PATCH

PROJECTS

These were projects larger

than a crib quilt.

In order to qualify for the prize drawing

you had to have your completed 16 patch top

large project present at this reveal,

then your name was placed in the drawing

for the prize.

Get ready to be inspired!

And the winner for the drawing of a 

large prize bundle courtesy of

our very own Scrap Club participant

Pam was.....

 The Grim Ripper.......aka Jeanne!

Here are Pam and I with the happy winner.

Thanks so much Pam for your generosity in

donating this prize package!

And now, here are the 

Sapphire Stars Mystery Quilts!

I was simply blown away by

all of the variations made by

these talented people!

Each quilter that participated in this

mystery should be so proud of their work!

I know I am proud of them! 

In order to qualify for the prize

drawing for this category, quilters

had to bring their completed quilt top

that was constructed as designed.

Color variations were welcome, however,

the top had to be made per the instructions.

Again, these drawings were for those

quilters in the O'Fallon, Missouri

Scrap Club hosted by Kevin the Quilter.

(Disclaimer:  Not all of the following quilts

qualified for the prize drawing.)

 And the winner for the drawing of 

the Sapphire Stars Mystery Quilt top,

 winning a Moda prize package

courtesy of me was.....

 Lillie!

Many congrats to you Lillie! 

I hope you enjoy your goodies!

Everyone wanted to see what was in the

Moda bundle, so I opened up

the bag and spread it out on the floor.

Look at Lillie going through her winnings! LOL

Layer cakes, jelly rolls, fat quarter bundles and more!

What a fun time was had by all!
