 Today was Chinese Auction day....a good fund raiser for the guild and a great way to clean out your PHD's or UFO's or gadgets that you don't use and books you've read and want to pass along.  Here are the keeners having a good look to see what they were hoping to take home.  The morning activity included the scrappy nine patch...a sample that Evelyn is holding.  Despite three attempts...one cancelled by weather and one with few numbers due to cold weather the group finally got a chance to make these wonderful squares.

we started show and tell with a comfort quilt that Vivian Patriquen had taken home and bound.  Then Ethel showed us a cuddle quilt she put together with the cutest frog fabric. Judy made a couple of sewing kits for her grand children...take note that the grand kids chose the fabric and colours. She filled them with the necessities.  Here is a lavender pillow she hooked at rug hooking.  Smelled gorgeous.  This is my Whoo Knows owl quilt ...a pattern from Fat cat Patterns and a real joy to quilt.  Each owl has its own design. Muriel added to her collection of Blue, White and silver for Christmas with this mitten and snowman wall hanging.  Jackie is still having fun with her new sewing machine and this is a cuddle quilt she made ....the pictures I took of the cute wall hangings she also made, unfortunately, are blurry.  Jackie joined the Fabric Cupboard's weekly block challenge (six inch squares) and enjoyed it thoroughly....learned a lot , too.
