How's this for amazing. Vivian is 100 years young...she will be 101 in March ...and she just finished her colour challenge by making this Dresden Plate with her three colours....yellow, blue and red.  We're all wishing we could follow in her footsteps...

 Gillian got a new pattern and made six ...she was so enthusiastic about the pattern.   And they are all gorgeous .

Judith  got playing with angles and made this candle mat or mug rug...call it what you will it was certainly interesting.

 Then she decided she should have a "twister" heart for Valentine's.

Renate got her Block of the Month done. Instead of doing it by hand , she got out her machine and showed us the great job she did.

 Here's Renate's colour challenge...if you were wondering , it is, indeed, a king sized quilt. Not sure just what Renate's colours were but it really doesn't matter , they all look great.

Here's Jean...so reliable...she made another baby quilt for the cuddle quilt program. It would not surprise me if she has made the most cuddle quilts of all our members.

 Beth  participated in the evening ladies program and here is her log cabin. Such soft pastel colours and so pretty.

Joan brought this adorable door hanger. The Quiltery has one for every season...I think it is time to take that trip to Riverview.

 The Chinese Auction is all ready to go....remember that one Quilter's UFO is another's PHD to share.

February is almost over but the quilting never ends.  Chris got this wonderful red and white snowball finished. I asked if it was going on her bed and she replied, "Nope, it's a gift." Lucky recipient.

 She was working on the finishing touches on her applique pillow.  Love the fabric she chose.









Ruth did the swirly pattern from last time and included some fabulous fussy cutting with bordered fabric. She did an amazing job with the points matching beautifully in the centre.  Well done!!

 Eleanor showed us a gorgeous quilt. The pictures do not do it justice.

and here is a stack and whack she put together with a piece of the main fabric on the back to show how it could change with each kaliediscope(sp?).

This sweet bag holds a picture of Linda's grand baby.  What a great keepsake! Maybe it will help Linda get over that broken arm.   OUCH!

 It's a good thing it wasn't cold out tonight...we had a great crowd for the evening ladies . Here's Susanne's quilt...she got started on her own and did a darn good job.

 Wendy is showing off her table topper...great job there!

 Now this is an amazing project. Wendy took a picture of her grandmother , put it in grey scale and then thread painted . What an awesome creation. Talented is a word that comes easy when describing Wendy.

Here's another of Susanne's quilts...again , done with no instruction...must be instinctual.

 JoAnne got her applique pillow done...now she just needs to applique...right????

 Jeannie finished her cosmetic bag.

 Marion actually made a quilt with no blues in it...looks wonderful

 and she made this table topper too.

Beth got busy doing some UFO's...this one is a Spring is on its way table topper....

 a couple of Christmas mug rugs.....

and a bag she's had the fabric for since Baird's was here in Sussex...how long ago was that you say....

 Janice got her Deckade the Halls completely finished...with a few stitches left on the binding.

 Caroline got her applique pillow done.

 Ruth made this comfy cozy , homespun fabrics quilt.

And she paper pieced this Christmas Tree....I believe her feelings about paper piecing mirror my own...nuff said!

 Marilyn got some warm fleece and made some Chemo caps....

plus she is doing dishes at the Valentine's luncheon this 14th and her apron is most appropriate.  You should go!
