Chinese Auction Fun

 These pictures did not download in the proper order so they may seem a little confusing.  This picture is of a baby quilt that Melinda made using the half hexagon technique...she has decided that she will not be making any more hexagons...wonder why????
 This is another baby quilt that Melinda made....picture does not do justice to the gradation of the colours...so pretty.
 Renate blew us away with this snuggly lap quilt...it is flannel on the front...from a couple of charm packs she bought at the Fabric Cupboard which , in itself, makes the quilt warm but she used that warm and cuddly fabric that is thicker than fleece...not sure what it is called but it makes the nicest backing for a snuggly...I promise you...this one is a touchy-feely quilt.
Now we are into the Chinese Auction part of our program day. This is always fun...buy a bunch of tickets and try your luck...some of us went home without winning a thing and SOME of us went home after winning a bunch of things...oh Well...just wait 'til next year!!!
 This is the Block of the Month in the process of being quilted...it is done in flannels and it is so sweet. This is Susan Snyder's and it even had a recommendation for the proper way to label this quilt...Susan thinks of everything...good thing she volunteered to continue next year as BOM coordinator.
This picture was taken with the Evening group's Show and Tell. It is Marilyn Wynn's quilt....sorry, forgot the name. Just remembered how gorgeous it is...it also was quilted by Agathe and she did a great job...
Our regular show and tell. This sweet appliqued wall hanging is Susan Snyder's . It will be going into a Chinese Auction that is held at their campground in the summer. That would be a good time to go visit...right???
It's wonderful to see the results of a sewing day.  These are cuddle quilts that will be going out to the Hospital, the RCMP and perhaps Transition HOuse, or the Fire men....regardless of where they go, they will be definitely  appreciated. What a great response!!
Carolyn's baby quilt that was included in the picture above...just one added point...she did some free motion and I believe she is getting hooked on that technique...you go, girl!!
Not only does Carolyn sew and quilt , she's a knitter and contributed to a knit-a thon at her church. Such good works going on around here.
Marilyn adapted the fabric basket pattern that she showed last time and added handles to this one. I believe she is making them for her daughter's use...what a great mom she is!!
Melda blew us away with these gorgeous smocked dresses and bonnets...what a wonderful job she did PLUS it is for twins...now how lucky are they to have such a talented Grandma!
And here's another Grandma just crocheting away. This is a sweet, crocheted vest for a lucky grand daughter. Beautifully done, Ann!
Grandmas rock!!!  Here are two knitted Easter egg cozies made by another crafty Grandmother.  I bet they were fun to do, Judy!
Put out the call and the answer comes! I had wondered where we were going to get an adult bib pattern and here's Sandra showing us just how to go about making them. All we need is velcro , fabric and a sewing machine....look out now, we're going to get busy..  Thanks , Sandra!
This was supposed to be the last picture downloaded but I guess it really doesn't matter.  This nine patch is one of our comfort quilts taken out of the frame today. Lillian Kyle offered to take it home and bind it...thanks to her  AND a big pat on the back of our quilters. Their dedication and skill is greatly appreciated.
Here's a sweet 'wall hanging' that turned into a quilt...not sure how that happened , are you Debbie...well let me warn you, it will happen again.  In the meantime, she did a wonderful job putting this together...it's stunning...


That's it for now ladies...there won't be a posting after our next meeting since I will be at the retreat...and I am looking forward to that.  See you at our programme day in April....Cheers!!!
