Sussex Vale Quilters' Guild

Gail started our show and tell with this beauty made from all the squares she won last year from the President's Challenge then passed it along to Ann for Comfort quilts.  What a nice thing to do!  Helen made this Sheepy quilt for her sister's great grand child.  And being a non grandmother that is all I have to say about that....soooo jealous! Then she showed us this spiral table topper that her husband requested to present to their financial advisor...must have given them some really good advice is my thought....lol!  Cynthia bought this top and the binding for it for $75.00 ...what an amazing find!...then she had it quilted and it is now going to a graduate from divinity college. Beautiful graduation gift. Pat got her Block of the Month from last year done and Agathe quilted it for her.  It was a really fun project. Ethel celebrated her special birthday and got her goody bag of fat quarters then she showed us some more of the wonderful bags she has been maki

 This beauty was made at the Villa Madonna...two years ago....quilted at Spruce it up by Marilyn and then she decided she wanted  it larger so she added another border (quilt as you go method) that ended up framing the Carpenter's Star perfectly.  Well done! Cindy made this zigzag table topper for her first effort....and did a wonderful job...love the Christmas fabrics.  This is the guild quilt for the year and a vote was taken as to whether or not the outside border should have stars on point or interrupted squares of stars and plain.  The unanimous decision is stars on point...we'll keep you posted as it gets done. Chris has been busy making ornaments with the red and black plaid...love them, Chris! Linda bought a whole bolt of fleece and then couldn't decide what to do with it so she cut it up and  crocheted this mat....clever girl....

Jean started our show and tell with these toe Socks for leg casts..what a neat idea.  This sweet quilt goes into our comfort quilt program...made by Marilyn, quilted by our nimble fingered quilters, bound by Marilyn and now awaiting a lucky recipient. Marilyn showed this Christmas decoration and told us it was easy to put together...isn't it great to have someone make a prototype and then share their findings.   Thanks Marilyn! Patty didn't want to show this first but I bugged her a little bit.  This really neat wallet/purse attaches to her belt and holds essentials so that she is 'hands free'.  We need to figure out how to make this....it would be wonderful to have when you are buying fabric so you wouldn't have to move your purse out of the way.  so innovative. Vera put this patriotic quilt together from the patterns that Muriel provided last year as President.  She can't decide whether she is going to add more borders or not. She feels it isn
