A new Year Begins

By -






 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 great.  It was a wonderful mystery quilt for the evening ladies...well received and well executed...
Gillian got this pattern from Marilyn and knit a couple of really neat scarves ..the other one is cream ...she also did some mittens...always busy that lady.
 Joyce made me jealous and brought in her selvage bag...so nifty...she arranged the writing on the selvages to be read easily. Just love the bag...now to screw up my courage and give this a try....
 Helen enjoys the purse pattern so much she made two more....and if I recall correctly, she has more in the works.
 Cynthia showed the reversible bag she made from a magazine she purchased...

 and here is a cuddle quilt she put together and added to the collection we have for the hospital and the RCMP.
Some little boy is going to be happy when he gets this wonderful heavy equipment quilt from Bea Obermeyer...

Well, that is show and tell for the first meeting of the year...a small turnout but we are mighty...everyone that brought in show and tell got their beads to add to their pin  and when they get five they get a fat quarter...last year, Leigh Smith got the most beads with the items she made...wonder who it will be this year....I don't know about you but I can't wait to see all the wonderful projects the quilters of Sussex Vale bring in.
