This is actually from the Monday Evening Ladies. They are working on jelly roll races and this beauty belongs to Evelyn. Amazing fabrics. Linda did hers in a navy , red and white and then put minke on the back to make it extra cozy. Marilyn did some knitting and brought in a graph that tells you what needles to use with what yarn for what size of toque you wish to make.  An amazingly valuable graph for knitters to have, especially if you have loads of yarn and not sure what to make with it. We were fortunate to have a wonderful trunk show for our program day. Cynthia showed and told us about just some (I am sure) of her quilts and her journey through time making them.  Here she is holding a grandma doll she made that took  "forever" to get that grey hair just so.  Super idea. This next quilt is her first sampler , made during a quilting class she took to learn the basics of quilting.  I really liked this idea....a fold up case with a small doll

The first meeting (business that is) of the new Year....2020...who would have thought that we would see this historic , futuristic date...certainly not me...but as you will see, life just marches on.  To start our show and tell, Pat showed her folded fabric hot pat...well done there lady! Susan made this little bag from the fabric for the President's challenge...she's ready for March.... then she showed us her fractured Dresden plate pillow slips. She made them for her daughter...  then, like the rest of us do, she pointed out her oopsy.....  Ethel has been busy making stockings for next year since she finished binding them New Year's Eve.....they look great.  This beauty is one she has been playing at for a little while....it goes to the comfort quilt program to be hand quilted....Please note , she included the binding for when it is all ready and waiting for the final step. Judith made this gorgeous table topper cutting at the right angle and pie

 Can you see 20/20?  I can...I know it's corny but it tickles my funny bone.  Ruth made this gorgeous ribbon quilt over the holidays and they colours are perfect....well done , Ruth.  Chris found this nostalgic panel and put it together with the pine trees and then she hand quilted it...it has flannel on the back and it is super cozy. She also did some knitting and here is her  Joanne finished her double tabbed cosmetic bag.... and brought a tea cozy she made a while ago to make sure she had a hot cup of tea when she needed one.. Marilyn is hiding behind her quilt as you go....... here is the other side. It is full on flannel and comfy cozy...it wasn't planned but it worked extremely well with her binding having light corners that framed the quilt ...both sides...so well.  A happy accident. And this beauty is her jelly roll race...machine quilted with a wavy line down the centre of each row.
