Before the big St. Patty's Day storm hits us tomorrow we gathered at our meeting place and had a wonderful show and tell . Here Jean shows the quilt that Carolyn made and asked Jean to quilt. It went to Joyce for the cuddle quilt program.  It will make an amazing fund raiser for the hospital.
 In between quilting, Jean, who is an amazing knitter also knit this adorable hooded sweater and with the leftover yarn she made a sweet little toque to go with it.
Joan West made this beauty and quilted it.
 Marlene got these wonderful flowered squares and put them together in  a gorgeous quilt. She matched the colours beautifully and the arrangement is fabulous.
Susan decreed this fella as the last snowman for the winter 

 and got herself organized with a St Patrick"s table runner.

Judith borrowed a book about Irish quilting and made this wonderful wall hanging and practised her machine quilting...she did a great job, too.
 She also, is ready for St. Patty's day.
Plus she made this log cabin valance in a class with Susan .
 Leigh also made her valance but did it with seven log cabins instead of the original five. They are both perfectly done.
Gail did her crayon challenge with blue , yellow and of course, the purple for the back. It became part of the cuddle quilts as well.
Now this was amazing.  These are pillow cases. Beautifully done by Gail and then Agathe did an amazing job quilting them. What a great project!
 Agathe "won" some yarn at the Chinese auction and decided it was time to try her hand at knitting some preemie caps. It's never too late, Agathe!

She also made this beautiful quilt and it is going to Hawaii....just in case they have cool nights.
Margaret got this wonderful log cabin done and it looks great.
 Ethel thought she might clean up some of her stash but when she wasn't looking, it multiplied. Guess nobody told her that happens a lot. But she did manage to put together  a delicious Dresden plate.
 Evelyn got this wonderful HST quilt done for show and tell.
 Marilyn has been watching a lot of curling and when she watches tv...she knits....here are two really nice cowls that will be Christmas gifts for some lucky people.







                                                                                              This beauty was made with left over fabric from a project she was working on. It will be quilted for the Comfort Quilt program.
 Now this is something really special. . This  is  a
cupcake ...birthday cupcake that is. It is for Vivian Patriquen who celebrated her 101st birthday today. Not only does she have longevity , she has the sweetest smile and the happiest disposition.  She is certainly someone worth emulating.  Happy Birthday to Vivian
