After a few false starts and some irritating snafus, I finally got these pictures uploaded. I decided to have the evening show and tell join with the daytime show and tell and keep it all together....To start, Marilyn showed the  Ladies of the Evening the bag they were going to be making....it is a great bag for storing those things you need for classes OR a cosmetic bag with see through pockets of vinyl or mesh.

 Then she showed us the reversible aprons she is making for the craft show being held soon.

 along with some hickory nuts put together for a table topper



AND

 a candle mat ...

Here is a mile a minute quilt that Wendy made for her son who chose the fabrics...no flowers among them....and the accent colour...he has good colour sense and Mom did a great job.

 This is a ducky quilt , I believe for a niece of Wendy's













Below, Judy Hughes shows her gorgeous table topper that may be on the agenda for the ladies of the evening in the future.

This is Marion's beautiful chevron scrappy quilt...just love it!

October 2015 Show and Tell

 Ann started off our show and tell with a whole bunch of Anti-Ouch Pouches and drain bags she made to pass along to Joyce.  We were told that the need is actually higher than we realized and that making the strap with a loop on the side instead of the velcro might be a better idea.

 Gillian made these cute lined bags...quick projects and so practical.

C'mon, Cheryl that bag is not big enough for your grand daughter to go trick or treating.  Sure is cute though...

 She has another grand daughter and of course, this fuzzy teddy bear quilt is perfect.  Such sweet blankies....

Pat got her "oh Canada" quilt  quilted by Agathe...and now it needs to be bound...get cracking there Pat!

 Susan is hiding behind this wonderful lap size quilt she made for the cancer patients at the hospital.  a true "comfort" quilt.

 then, she showed us this sweet popsicle wall hanging she made...drew the template  herself...smart cookie!

 This is as scrappy as Susan can get...gorgeous colours in this star in a log cabin quilt...started at the Villa Madonna.....

 Th is quilt centre is from the Fabric Cupboard "15.00 quilt. but Vivian H. enlarged on it and got it quilted by Agathe....it is going to her grand son.

 Jackie made some microwave bowls and brought in some snippets for those that wished to purchase.

Renate loves these sweet sixteen bags.  Fun to make and they are wonderful gifts...she also had some reversible quilt as you go squares but didn't show them off....waiting to get it all together.

 Jean was into bags as well

Bea made this wonderful curved Log cabin in a class with Jean Fogelin.

 and there is a sampler she made a while ago....I hear she doesn't like the red Lady of the Lake in the right hand corner because  it IS red.

Joan Smith got these bubblegum coloured layer cake fabrics and made this charming quilt...she's hiding behind it.

 I bet you this quilt that Bea Obermeyer made is for a little boy.

Vera got us primed for Hallowe'en with this spooky Jack'o Lantern.

Evelyn got her scrappy nine patch quilted and bound .

then showed us her reversible vest... looking good there girl!

October 5, 2015 . Evening Ladies

Here is our intrepid leader, Marilyn, getting everyone organized for another night of mayhem and a little laughter....

 Sandra wasn't sure where to sit but we soon moved over with the rest of the rag muffins.

Bag lady, Wendy , started off show and tell with another bag she made...going great guns , this one!

 She showed us another Necessary clutch she had made...just look at how slim she is getting...she's working hard at it.

Jeannie made this snuggly flannel pillow cases....I wonder who for???

 She also made these very much a boy themed set of receiving blankets .....such a proud and lucky Grand Ma.

 Joanne brought in a sample of the pillows she is making for  a craft sale coming up.

and is hiding behind a sweet Christmas panel that she is hand quilting on a hoop as part of her employment....she has the dream job...sew, quilt , play with fabric and get paid for it.

 Carolyn proudly displayed her patriotism with this Canada fabric duffle bag and cosmetic bag to match. It would be wonderful for international travel....hmmm...wonder if she is trying to tell us something.

 She and her grand daughter had a sew wonderful summer making some sweet sixteen bags. She put pockets inside hers...I know , 'cuz  I peeked.

Judith got in on the action and made herself a sweet sixteen bag as well. They sure are popular...maybe I should wisen up and make some too.

 This table topper made using bordered fabric and a sixty degree ruler sure creates an intricate design...looks great doesn't it?

Carolyn is getting an up close and personal look at the next interesting thing Judith showed us  From what I can figure it is   rotary blade slash wiggly, woven and top sewed..sounds and looks intriguing...something we definitely need to learn..

The evening ladies are a fun group to work with, they are always up for something different whether it is an old technique or something brand new....they just love to sew and quilt.
