Our last programme day for the year 2014-2015....we started our show and tell with Muriel's Disappearing Nine Patch...all quilted and looking wonderful...Agathe did the long arm quilting and now we expect it to be bound before too long, right Muriel???? Lilliane donated this comfort quilt, the quilting girls quilted it and then Lilliane took it home and bound it.  Another warm and fuzzy to  send out to those in need.  Not to tell tales out of school but Pat brought this "Oh Canada" top to the Villa Madonna last year and was such a social butterfly she didn't get it finished...not so this year, here it is all ready for quilting...way to go, Pat!

 Fresh out of the frame this morning and ready to go to Lilliane to be bound.  Another great nine patch comfort quilt.

Jean used the fat quarters her daughter chose and made this wonderfully long table

 Should have labelled this post"Pillowcase Night"  here is Jeannie's pillowcase....no that is not individual little pieces...that is the fabric...really cute , too  Marilyn lamented how she is tired of little pieces....should have shown her how she can do this pattern really quickly...then maybe not...a little perseverance is good for the soul...right Marilyn????  Renate made this pillow sham to match a quilt she made...grumbling about how if she had given it thought she would not have used this fabric in her scrappy nine patch since she ran out of the fabric that she wanted....gee, that has never happened to me....how about you???  Wendy , her ambitious usual self made this machine pad with pockets for doo dads and gadgets...works great! Here is another pillow sham that Renate made to match a quilt she made.  This sweet pattern of a rag kitty is from Cheryl and goes to one of her adorable grand daughters...now she has to make another....always fun to ma
