October 2024

 Back to JK Quilts for another fun, informative Materials Girls Idaho monthly meeting! This time we were privileged to hear from Jenn, who is Liz's twin sister and co-owner of JK Quilts. Jenn just returned from the Houston Quilt Market and she shared with us some of the upcoming fabric lines, latest trends and fun stories.

We started off with some scrumptious, festive snacks made by Deb.

Here are some of the things Jenn had ready to show us in her presentation. In her "spare" time she loves to make pottery, so she shared some of her unique pieces with us.

These two (above and below) quilts made by Deb were part of a door prize guessing game. We had to try and guess how many individual pieces were in each quilt top.

Jenn started the meeting with her presentation showing fun quilts and info about Quilt Market in Houston.

This is a quilt Jenn made and a close up of one way she likes to enhance the binding using rickrack.
