Christmas 2013

At our Christmas Banquet , Ann brought her yo-yo wall hanging all finished and she was right the silver beads really gives it sparkle.  Nice job! These are ornaments to go to the Kiwanis Nursing home to help decorate their tree. The response for small ornaments was wonderful and I am sure the residents will enjoy seeing them on their tree.  Lucky Kay has two great grandchildren and , of course, each one should have their own quilt so what's a great-grandma going to do?  Make two of them. Good going, Great Grand ma... Here's Vivian showing us her ornaments all sparkly and shiny...ready for the Kiwanis tree. This wonderful jigsaw puzzle quilt is by Vivian Hayward and made for her grand son....lucky kids who have grandmas that quilt. It was Helen's turn for the Froggy challenge and she entertained us with the story of her grandfather...a true Scotsman in his kilt and tam, a thimble in his sporran for his wee drop of whiskey. What a

Another comfort quilt , all quilted and out of the frame.  They are so simple and so pretty. Those hand quilters at our guild are so prolific.. Sheila's wrist gets cold (I know how that feels) and her grand daughter (I believe) crocheted these "texting mitts" or wrist warmers for her.  It's always nice to see how considerate people can be for their loved ones. Carolyn has been busy knitting...here is a pair of fuzzy, warm mitts made with Canadiana and eyelash yarn.  Innovative and really cute. Marj appliqued this beautiful quilt and then she hand quilted it with gorgeous designs.  Great Job ...will look amazing at our quilt show in the fall. Sandra showed us a neat bag she made ...it holds a ruler and whatever else you want to put in there and then turns over to be an ironing mat. Clever...  Vivian Hayward is hiding behind this UFO all done.  I believe it came from the Fabric Cupboard...a fun project and a great lap quilt.

Those wonderfully prolific morning quilters have done it again.  Here's the latest nine patch , all hand quilted and ready to be bound.  Thanks to Evelyn for volunteering to take on that task. This is Carol's latest masterpiece...a beautiful batik quilt.  Such gorgeous fabrics  Susan is getting ready for Christmas....no flies on her...a wonderful door topper.... and here's a wintery window scene.  Good job, Susan...  Renate just keeps on amazing us.  Show her or maybe just tell her about a technique and away she goes. Here's another of her beautiful quilts and she's been dealing with a shoulder surgery.  We can call her Wonder Woman!! Helen lucked in with her candle mat and found the candle to match AFTER she had made the mat.  Talk about lucky..  Madeline made a wonderful I spy quilt in the Attic Window technique and filled the windows with activities shared by her grandson and husband. What a heartwarming heirloom.  Well done, Madeline. Kay
