Thanks to Cindy for identifying source of Patty's pattern: H.D. Designs, Mary Lou Hallenbeck.

Photo is of original material that Patty used to make her blocks.

Patty goes to Guild Day Camp, October 2011

Patty's comments: Those are the four patch posie

blocks I made after day camp with Becca Knox last Friday. I used that

strange tropical print that I had brought to Rebels the month before. You

were trying to figure out the color scheme.

BuffY: Does anyone in blog land know who gets credit for this technique?

The Rebels Celebrate Corduroy Appreciation Day!

The Rebels challenged themselves to use this corduroy in a quilt.

Here are some of the items they made!

Buffy made Chinese Coins.

Dawn made this bag.

And it's reversible!

Roberta, perhaps the most rebellious of all, made this INSTEAD of  doing her gardening.  She calls it "Rebel in Fall."

There's the challenge fabric, hidden in the leaves she was SUPPOSED to be raking.

Cindy was on the road, so didn't get the challenge piece, but she made this from a thrift store find and a pair of her husband's jeans.

Our brand new member, Pam, got into the spirit too!

She even included a zipper!

Buffy is our fearless leader when it comes to corduroy!  She made this quilt several years ago in a class with Gwen Marston.

Another corduroy beauty by Buffy, also made in a class with Gwen some years ago.

POWER SUIT challenge

This was my Power Suit Challenge quilt.   We were given a bunch of tailor's materials, and asked to make something that conjured up POWER SUIT to us...  I took it literally, and focused on the Materials and choices you make when you get a custom suit made... Cuffs, collars, buttons, tailoring stitches, basting, measuring etc... I crammed it full of stuff... Fun challenge.. The show of quilts will be traveling to Long Beach and somewhere else... Guess I should know that huh? See ya all soon! - Victoria

Cindy is home with new vest
