Here we are at Show and Tell with Ellen Henderson leading the way...seems only fitting since she is 97 years young.  She is showing us a crocheted sock she made ...pattern in a book given to her by Gail Rodgers. She informed us that she will NOT be making any of us a pair of these socks and if anyone would like to borrow this book...please contact Ellen...

 Some of us did the workshop with Judith Hughes and here we display some of the finished projects.....

with the reverse side just to show that they are actually reversible woven table runners...a fun project and well explained by Judy...

 Susan finished one more crayon quilt ....sheesh I better get busy and sew my second one together...I am lagging behind!

And look at this, called A Maze   and Susan , we are so proud of you...it is scrappy...

 Here is Vera putting us all to shame with her SECOND block of the month table topper...wonder who is going to win for most point made.....hmmmm!

Sandra showed us this sweet purse she made with the zippered pocket inside...just big enough to carry some cash and your cell phone...what else does a girl need....

 She made this pretty wall hanging as well.

Carolyn is cleaning up PHD's and this is certainly a gorgeous one.  Lovely tree skirt there Carolyn.

 Vivian H showed this very masculine and large black and white quilt for a king sized bed...stunning!

 Judith Hughes made this table topper for her sister...it is......

 reversible....can be used for Christmas and Fall....

 She also made these very Christmasy place mats....lucky sister.

 and that is not all...this table topper was meant to be kept but the dimensions were not right so ...sister...yup, that lucky sister again...gets this table runner as well...

Judy Steeves  is in the knitting mode and made these teeny tiny acorns for a friend's tree......

 and a pair of , as she called them "Trigger MItts".  I call them Newfie Mitts.... a rose by any other name.....

Bea made a couple of Christmas pillows with Santa Clauses on them....now she has to decide who gets them for Christmas.

 She also made this monitor cover for the computers at her office....trial and error , without a pattern...but she did it...way to go, girl!

 Cynthia made a couple of reversible bags....short handled purses or tote bags..you choose for Christmas presents.

 Then she made this lovely wall hanging from fabrics of a departed friend...lovely momento.

This beauty was made using a medallion centre applique pattern and then using layer cakes...the corners are unique with different applique on them.....

 and please note the wonderful label she made for this quilt...something we should all remember to do.

Jean called this a half apron....I was thinking just apron by itself but her terminology makes better sense....

 Evelyn did this sweet quilt for her grand daughter...love the simplicity of the pattern , the soft colours....so pretty.

One of the wonderful comfort quilts that was finished today...Ellen is taking it home to put on the binding.  

Ann showed her Block of the month...she has more point than I do but Vera still has the most.
