Here it is, ladies, the last hand quilted nine patch for the year. This is the one that Vivian Patriquin pieced and the ladies quilted. They are such wonderful comfort quilts....
Remember the brown bag challenge we started at the beginning of the new year...well, here are half of them all lined up...aren't they amazing? That beautiful blue star is mine and I can't wait to start quilting it....I think I will do the grid work and work on my machine quilting...I could do feathers, or apple cores..or.....you'll just have to wait to see.
Here's the other half of the brown bag challenge. It amazes me how different they are ....so many talented people and they all look gorgeous...I think we should have them backed and/or quilted and ready for the quilt show next year...they would look so good on the tea tables..wouldn't they?
Lucky Muriel is going to become a Grandma and she is excited...can you blame her. She knows it is a boy and the decor for that beautiful baby boy is airplanes...Nanny is all ready......
Marilyn is hiding behind one of her "Snowballs in May" tops...she has some red fleece that she will use for backing. It will make a great cuddle or comfort quilt.
Here's Marilyn's sewing caddy...inside are plastic bags sewn in and just waiting for "stuff"...Love the hexies, Marilyn...
A lucky bride-to-be will be getting this sweet table runner as a shower gift....she is a cat lover and those kitties are so cute. Trust to Marilyn to find really neat fabrics.
And look at this beauty...mostly batiks...I believe it may be called "T Squared"...not sure . Anyway, it sure turned out great....hand quilted and an heirloom for sure.
Vera got this really neat hexie postcard for her birthday...what a great gift and a neat idea...I must remember , the next time I send a birthday card it just may be a fabric postcard...oh , the ideas!!!
See that beautiful , I believe, hexagon in gorgeous shades of turquoise....made by Vera ...she is more than willing to share the pattern and teach us how to make it too....way to go, Vera!!!
Carolyn took the machine quilting class last week and had some fun doing free motion on her "Snap bag". She did a great job and had fun too...guess that is what quilting is all about.
Joan always floors us with her beautiful creations..Here is a French Braid done in blacks and dark browns....the gradation of the fabric is stunning.
Here's Ellen's table runner. In her nineties and still quilting. Amazing woman!
Marlene had some fun....that fabric has planets and stars and is quilted with circles...seems appropriate to me.
Renate is having such fun quilting..here's her rag quilt...backed with blanket and so cuddly...makes you want to snuggle up and have a good read...quilting magazines , of course.
Here's Renate's table runner ...such pretty fabrics and quilted 1/4 inch each side of the seams...so effective .
Debbie started a Dear Jane and decided a wall hanging was more in keeping with what she wanted to do. Nice colour choices, Debbie.
Betty made this wonderful quilt in flannels and they worked so well....love the black, it gives such a great contrast.
She's also a hooker...rug kind that is....and this is so very sweet.....she's a great hooker and great quilter and lots of fun to be around.
Hiding behind this wonderful colour coordinated "Snowballs in May" is Ann...what a wonderful job she did...now we pass them along to Evelyn and Joyce to distribute as needed. It sure feels good to pass along some comfort or cuddle.
