January 22 /13 Meeting

 Program day!...The best of both worlds...we get to see Show and Tell AND do some machine or hand work... how great is that.  Here's Susan  with her table topper  ...I'm calling it a "Cup of Joe"  , not  sure what Susan calls it.  Nice Job! Carol showed us a mini wall hanging she said she has been working on for a while.  She does the 'miniest' (not sure that is a word) projects both large and small. Amazine projects. Here's a wonderful crazy quilt with fussy cut bird centres belonging to Pat Bell and quilted by Carol Davis. gorgeous.  Gail Rodgers showed us her Snippet wreath.  Great job , Gail.  Ellen Henderson did a Snippet Wreath as well and it is lovely...such a pretty Christmas pattern.  Marilyn made a couple of fleece Chemo Caps...snuggly , soft and so warm. No doubt with the cold weather we've been experiencing lately they will be much appreciated.  Renata is one of our new members and is an 'experienced beginner'.

A New Year

 After a short break and a wonderful Christmas season we're back and rarin' to go.  This wonderful quilt was made by Jean Thompson and is being donated as a comfort quilt to an unfortunate family left homeless by fire.  This picture does not do any justice to the wholecloth quilt beautifully marked and quilted  by the ladies that come every quilt day and ply their needles. Wonderful work, ladies.  Gillian made her "not brights" squares according to Ethel's instructions. The double nine patch. Here's a few more for that quilt.  We're all excited to see this put together since there will be a new(to us) technique in the outside borders. We're all interested in seeing how it will be done.  Stay tuned, ladies.  Here's Carolyn Lockhart's One Block Wonder all quilted.  So stunning. Marilyn Wynn found another unique pattern and whipped it up. It is a portable design carrier.  Ideal for carrying applique blocks, I can vouch for that.
