90 years young !

Happy Birthday to Mary Lawson!

 Susan got this wonderful kit for a Christmas present and put it together....isn't it gorgeous.  She told us that after washing the centre panel she ran into a lot of difficulties putting it all together...only she can tell where..we think it is beautiful.

This is Susan's mystery block from Quiltmaker magazine.  She chose colours based on their recommendation and it worked out beautifully.
















Running into a contrary google gremlin that is putting the pictures out of order.  This is Muriel showing us the eight inch squares she is knitting out of orphan balls of yarn.  It will all be put together as blankets for the refugee crisis. What a great way to use up scrap yarn.

Here's Ethel , cleaning up her UFO's.  This beautiful vest is reversible.

Here's a comfort quilt top she made for the

ladies to quilt when they are ready.

Joan brought in her star quilt that was a block of the month at the Quiltery.  Stunning ....her colour choices are always right on the money!!

 Helen got into the door prize challenge and put together some wonderful pieces to be included in the draw.  Wonder if I can participate????

Judy Hughes made this set of pillow cases...asked hubby if he could sleep on these and he replied  "sure, my eyes will be closed"...

 This is the bureau runner she made along with night table toppers ....gorgeous colours there Judy.

Jean put together this cuddle quilt, well ahead of the rest of us that will be making ours next program day along with anti-ouch pouches.  It should be a good day...but then any day sewing is a good day.....
