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 in a bed and a wardrobe with it.  Needless to say, her grand daughter allowed her to borrow it back to show us.
 This beauty was a block of the month that Cynthia took with Town & Country Quilt Shop out of Quispamsis. Beautiful colours, so soft and feminine.
This is a whole cloth quilt with a center commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of Cynthia's parents. Such a beautiful heirloom.











And the last picture I took of the trunk show is the latest quilt that Cynthia did...she also showed us the first quilt she made (in excellent condition, I might add). There were many more quilts that were shown, too many to put in this blog. It was a wonderful show and really nice to travel along with her journey in quilting.
Renate started our regular show and tell with a pillow she made to match a quilt that has been given away...but we got the idea...wonderful!
 She also wanted us to see some of her napkins she made for Christmas...similar to the ones that got given as gifts.
This is a top that the morning quilters finished last week.  Ethel will be taking it home to bind it. A little too small for a bed but would be great for a table topper/cloth.
 Marlene won the pinwheels so she put some together in this lap/cuddle quilt that is going in her family room......
along with this table topper......
 and table cloth to match the colour of her kitchen.
Mary thought today was table topper day and brought in the one she made...a pattern I have been looking for ...now I have it so hang on, you may see one I do someday.










JUdith has been playing with her 60degree ruler and made the following........
 some candle mats......
 and another table topper in gorgeous Christmas fabrics...fussy-cut extremely well, too.
Marilyn is hiding behind some gorgeous fabric that came from the Czhec Republic. Her brother and wife went travelling and brought  this back for her along with some fabulous yarn.
