April 7 2014 Meeting

 Judy showed us once again how innovative she is.  Here is a beach bag made with mesh...any sand that gets in it just falls through.  Smart girl...

Susan is hiding behind a cuddle quilt she made

 and, here is the last of her Skinnies . It is Autumn with the cutest owls.

She stepped out of her comfort zone and changed her colour palette to jewel tones with this faux stained glass. Gorgeous!

 And being the thoughtful quilter she is , she picked some loose threads off Ann Sniders Oh Canada quilt. ANN is the only one of the group that has hers finished so far.

Jackie made this adorable Bug quilt along with a matching pillow of the extra square she had.

 And here is what she did with the leftover fabric from a quilt she and her sister made.  Smart cookie that Jackie.

 Bea made this warm and cozy rag quilt. We all recommended she give it the final step by washing it in a Laundromat and not in her own washer.

 Joan is anxious for spring so she made this table runner with strawberries. Hang in there, Joan , it is on its way.

 Sherry was so excited about the strippy table topper she made two using her Christmas fabric and piecing them in the opposite direction.

Then she made another one with snowmen.  Not sure how she finds the time what with her moving and all.

Ethel made this nine patch for our comfort quilts.....

along with this one.  We should have a few ready for quilting now.

 She also got excited about the rolled pillowcases and got to making a bunch for her grand kids and then for herself.  They are addicting.

 She started on Christmas gifts early and made this dolly quilt.  Number One

Number two.....

 and number three.

Then she showed us her pillow.  She wins for having the most show and tell.  We should consider a prize for that category. Wonder if it would increase our show and tell incentive.  You just never know.
