Marilyn is working on her table topper.....
 along with Margaret and Helen.....
and Evelyn.
In between the table topper steps Vera and Marge put this gorgeous quilt in the frame...you will see it all quilted at the quilt show and sale in September...going to be beautiful.
Here are the morning lassies with their table toppers all sewn and ready for backing , except for keener Helen who got hers already finished. It was a good class and Ann is an excellent teacher...knows her stuff and very encouraging.
For Show and Tell, Jacquie started the day off with the panel that Bea brought last meeting.  Here it is all backed and quilted.  What a sweet cuddle quilt.....thanks to Bea and Jacquie.
This beauty was done by Jacquie and her sister and now Jacquie has a quilt for her bed. We'll need that for the show so don't get too attached to it....ok!!
 Renate is such a quick learner. She made her disappearing pin wheel at the evening class and brought it in to show at the meeting today....
Marge was "johnny on the spot' and got her block of the month finished...all quilted...before anyone else.  Looks great.
 Judy made one.....
 two.......
 and three mini duffle bags to be used as knitting bags or toy carrying bags for her grand kids.  Nice granny...!
Judy Hughes made one.....

two......

three......
four....cuddle quilts...how's that for a dedicated quilter...she also brought some preemie knitted caps....been a busy girl!!!
She also brought her "Oh Canada" all pieced together and ready for some quilting.  They sure do look great and it is amazing how different they all are...
Here's ReBecca showing us a piece of fabric art she worked on. ON the table beside her were some absolutely amazing works of art. ReBecca explained how SAQA(Studio Art Quilts Association) displays fibre artists work and how the association promotes their work.  We saw some wonderful pieces in their travelling trunk show. The cool thing about it is that they were encased in plastic and therefore we were able to handle the pieces and read the artist's statement on the back.  Great display and interesting work.
