Sussex Vale Quilters' Guild

 We should have called the evening ladies the Wendy show...this girl just blew us away with how proficient and how prolific she has become.  Here is a Christmas table topper she appliqued and quilted.....  here's a second  roll up she made for a gift...this one she adapted to fit the way she felt it should...  AND just look at this wonderful quilt....it is her own adaptation of the hexagon technique that Marilyn taught  last year...isn't it amazing.  You Go Girl!!!  This beauty was ....according to Marion....24 years in the making. Her sampler quilt that turned out great....joining the guild gave her that added little incentive to finish.  Madeline is hiding behind one set of pillowcases she made for her grandson who is into dinosaurs ......  and this set is all about machinery...another grandson will be delighted with these.  We told Martha that this sweater just wouldn't fit...and she didn't even wash it...lol!  it's for a little one...gor

 We're back after a long , hot and humid summer....we survived and now we are gearing up for another great year of quilting and companionship. Marg's son gave her a list of "don'ts" and like a good mom she made sure there were no frou-frou flowers and such on this very masculine and woodsy quilt.   He was pleased! Marilyn got into the place mat mode and made these batik place mats  two with one type of fabric on the back and two with another...they look great....pssst! they're fun to make!  She also had some fun with the 60 degree ruler and made a candle mat to show us...maybe we should play with the ruler too. Nice Christmas gifts.......  including the pillowcases she made for Christmas gifts...on the chair beside Marilyn is the travel duffle bag she made...a gorgeous travel bag...that fits in with airline guidelines and holds  umpteen things... A wallet  and here is her Decade the Halls all quilted and looking
