This portion of the post will be about show and tell only.  Here are the quilting ladies working on a really pretty nine patch.

Marilyn made a "sew Together " bag and found it smaller than she wanted...still looks great to me.

 Then she showed us her men's cosmetic bags that she made using a 10 inch square with a zipper.  Neat technique.

Here's a novel idea....a dish drying mat with pockets sewn on one end.  fill with scissors, threads ..what ever you need to take to class. Use it under your sewing machine and then when ready to go home.  roll up the mat with utensils inside.  Slick hey?

 I love every variation of this nine patch quilt.  Each one is sooo different and so pretty. Marilyn used charcoal for her grouting and sashing and it works so well.

Carol made this miniature mat...well done.

 Then she showed us this mystery quilt she did at KV......

 Andrea's version

 Sue's version..  They all look so different.  Hear tell, they called it a 'misery' quilt.  Wonder why?

 Gillian surprised us all with her proficiency.  Look at all the bags she produced.  Love that denim one she is holding up.

 Ellen Henderson made her cuddle quilt from the challenge . Hers was hand done..the traditional way.

 Gail did hers as well but she used the machine..the modern way.

 Helen is hiding behind her masculine  flannel cuddly quilt.

 No scrappy for Susan...colour coordination is the name of the game for her with this wonderful nine patch ...all finished.

 block of the month all done...

sweet cardinal wall hanging...

Judy did some tatting of a book mark to go in the mail for a friend.

 She also made this prayer shawl for her church group.

 now this is something different...boobs!  they are for the cancer centre  to be used a prostheses for ladies unable to afford commercially made. A very thoughtful thing to make.

 Evelyn made a cuddle quilt to bring our numbers up.

 Carolyn made humbug bags.

Renate made a Sweet Sixteen bag and a carry all for crafters..decided it was too small and is going to redraft for a larger one.

 She had fun with her squedge ruler

for the front and the back...ingenious.

 Renate finished her block of the month.

Jean made a little bibbed apron for her grand daughter.....

and a bonnet to go with it.

knit some hats......

and made a cuddle quilt for a friend.

Judy got her broken star table topper made.

and then played with triangles.....

see, I told you she played!!

Lastly, Marilyn showed us a purse she was gifted made from a leather jacket...talk about great recycling..!.
