Sussex Vale Quilters' Guild makes a lot of comfort quilts...hand quilting them as well. Here's another wonderful example of a quilt that will go to someone in need.  Quilters are generous, caring people.

 Helen is hiding behind this amazing table topper...I think she told us it was made using a 'squedge'...whatever she used, it sure looks great.

 This is only one of three spicy spiral table runners that Helen made as gifts for her doctor's staff.  hmmm, maybe I should have gotten a job there.

 Muriel found this technique on the internet and just had to give it a try....she certainly chose the right colours ...it is great..now we need to see it quilted.

 Here's a top she bought at a yard sale...I won't repeat what she paid for it...just let me say that she got a real bargain.. Brought it home and quilted it and look at it , it is sweet.

She also finished her crayon quilt. That was a fun project, I must say.

 Gillian got inspired and made herself a sweet sixteen bag.

 Agathe chose batiks and balis for her Scrappy Nine and look at how it turned out.  Beautiful!!

 Vivian has been quietly working away and here is her cuddle quilt challenge ...ready before June, too.















This beauty will be going to the Stan Cassidy Centre in Fredericton to cheer the patients there.

 This quilt will be a comfort quilt for a friend of Vivian's that is going through chemotherapy. It's full of inspirational and caring words.

 Here's Vivian's scrappy nine with white grouting and sashing.  It works extremely well .

 Ethel is cleaning up UFO's and here is an apron she received from a pen pal.

 This snowflake pattern was Ethel's project of choice at the Villa Madonna last year and here it is all quilted and bound and looking marvelous.

Susan inherited some squares and fabric and finished this triple Irish Chain that she will be passing along.

 I recognise those appliqued squares. They look great ...surprise, surprise.

 Now this is wonderful...Love Blooms Here ....a block of the month from Quiltmaker that Susan did such an amazing job on.

Jackie got her cuddle quilt challenge made...hers is called Snowballs in July.  Well done, Jackie,

 Judy is following Ethel's example and cleaning up UFO's...what is it about March that makes quilters want to get project done???  These mittens are very unique...the show how the colour prominence is achieved.

and this double wedding ring table runner is working out very well.

 Renate got her cuddle quilt pieced and quilted.

 and she made some more sweet sixteen bags...they are sooo practical.












She also got a start on her Scrappy Nines.

Joan's doing the same...cleaning up ufo's and here's one done....

and another.

This one, I believe, is the one Joan plans on keeping for herself to cuddle under.

Jean got her Scrappy Nine done and decided this was big enough......

 even though she had enough squares to do another....

Here's another of Jean's cuddle quilt challenge...

Marlene and Kay finished off the show and tell with two panelled cuddle quilts they quilted and brought in.   We should be good for a while with regards to cuddle quilts.  The nice thing about this group is when the call comes out for more, the response is phenomenal...great bunch of gals!!!!
