I stopped in to the hall last night to see how the Evening ladies were doing.  They have been working on cosmetic bags from Emmaline Bags and Caroline showed the four she had made...all in batiks and gorgeous.

 Linda showed once again that she is not quite traditional and a little bit modern with her version of the log cabin.  She backed this beauty with minke and quilted it on her long arm...in between work and home life...busy lady.

Christine is lovin' this technique and justifiably so. It's a zigzag quilt made using nine patches in scraps and background squares put together and cut on the diagonal..She did hers in Christmas fabrics...well done, Chris!

She also showed us her cosmetic bag using black interior...turned out just great.

The ladies have been busy as bees and have more planned ...stay tuned!

Look at this beauty....it is one of our comfort quilts ...all hand quilted and ready to be bound.  Ann will take it home and take care of it until it is needed.

 Jacqui showed this basket that she made using the special rope.  She is more than willing to share her experience with this technique...so keep your eye out for the rope that is needed. 

When asked what she had in it she shared this little zippered pouch she made last program day.

An achy-breaky heart is the name of this beauty
made by Jacqui . It is backed with minke and so comfy,

Marjorie made this sweetie .  It has little boys fishing...some having more than one fish and a couple having none......cute little fishers.

 Susan is hiding behind her little wall hanging that is perfect for Hallowe'en.  The spider is made with rickrack...so inventive , this lady.

Lucky Susan  has another baby coming to her family and this sweet baby quilt is more than welcoming.

 Joan is hiding behind this wall hanging that she adapted to her own specifications and created a whole new design......so clever.

 Judith made these pot holders to practise her machine quilting...continuous line, no less and it worked out very well.

 Leigh jinxed herself by saying they hadn't had babies in her family for a long time and now she has to eat her words....these gorgeous baby quilts she made will more than make up for it.

love this Zebra quilt..so cute.

 This stunner started out queen and is now king size.  Love the way Carolyn put together her log cabin...a staple quilt that always impresses.

Then she made this quilt as you go for her sister in hospital...beautiful turquoise.......

 reversible and pink on the other side. Sure to brighten anyone's day.

Bargello beauty....thy owner is Ann. What a gorgeous selection of colours. They pop and make you think of fire...can't wait to see this finished.

Marlene made this quilt carrying bag...right size for queen sized quilts.....

and then she made this table runner with pansy fabric...to give away to a lucky recipient.

 Evelyn got to making some Celtic work...long enough for hubby who was afraid it wasn't coming home.

This is Vera's concession to the two hundred anniversary of Canada's confederation. Nothing quite like red and white...so cheery.
