Dottiann Chevalier created this quilt at a retreat this past June. The pattern, A Walk in the Park, was designed by Michelle Renee Hiatt specifically for the retreat. The main body of the quilt showcases a range of purples and pinks, and the border fabric helps to pull out the greens and balances the composition. Dottiann also did the quilting!

This quilt by Hildy Curran features four versions of a disappearing 9-patch. This quilt was made for her nephew. Love the colors! Follow Hildy on @HildrethColor
Do you like to have fun with the back of your quilts? Hildy used up some bold fabric on the back of this quilt to add interest.
Diane Foos was the lucky winner of the lottery blocks from last month in the Shooting Star pattern. She used four of them to make this cute table-topper. She's saving her other blocks for other projects.

What a perfect quilt to kick off our July Show-and-Tell! This Colonial Flag quilt was made by Brenda Scolero to hang on her front door. The quilt was made as part of a fundraiser for a local Eagle Scout project. The fabric is called Portsmouth, designed by Amy Smart. To see more of Brenda's work, follow her Instagram account - @FrendasBoutique.
This quilt top by Hildreth Curran features fabrics from her stash that she dyed using the Japanese Shibori method. Everyone in the Guild is looking forward to learning more about her process! She pieced these based on her own design. To see more of Hildreth's work follower her on Instagram - @HildrethColor.
This vibrant and creative quilt made by Patti Sullivan is interesting for many reasons. The method for piecing this involved using narrow green strips to attach the pink fabrics to the backing. The green and pink colors really are reminiscent of a juicy watermelon! The quilt was made in January 2024 and took about a month. Longarm quilting by Regina DiCicco-Both.
This Satsuma design was a free pattern offered by the Modern Quilt Guild. Donna Cliff interpreted the design using a subtle palette of greys and pastels. The orange peel blocks were challenging - but the result is certainly stunning!
Sally Cedarholm made this beautiful quilt based on a pattern by Suzy Quilts called Summer Haze. The fabrics chosen were from Ruby Star Society. The mix of colors make this quilt pop! To see more of Sally's work, follow her on Instagram - @QuiltinLee
Karen Ryan started this vibrant quilt at the Guild's Community Outreach Day in May. The design is by Sue Michaels and the colorful fabrics are from Karen's stash. What a beautiful result - and soon to be completed and donated to Cross Roads House of Portsmouth.
