The evening ladies are shown here...this beauty belongs to Chris...she really liked the zig zag pattern that Marilyn taught and did a great job with hers.

A table topper using the Carpenter's star pattern...well done and it is Chris again.

This is the project the evening ladies are working on...it is called ribbon and this one is Marilyn's in Christmas fabrics..

Muriel is getting ready for one of the Christmas sales that are upcoming with her stash of felt kiddie characters...

Jean made a couple of pot holders...I believe she said they would be a gift for an upcoming speaker at one of the organizations she belongs to....

and this sweet quilt is a cuddle quilt...

Peggy made this wall hanging ..she is a hand piecer normally but decided it was time for she and her sewing machine to come to an agreement.  Sure do love the way she did the opposing corners...gave it a little pizzazz.

 Elsie got the jump on her block of the month patterns and has two ready and waiting for the rest.

 Here's the second one.

 This lady is a new member and I am sorry to say I did not catch her name...she made this baby quilt.....

with a pocket and play toy in the center...clever girl!

Susan made this Twister wreath...sure is pretty.

 Susan S.  raised chickens this summer and to prove it she brought some of them in to show us.....just kidding...she raised live chickens but decided she needed to have some fabric ones too.

 Ethel is still vying for the title of "Bag Lady"  and , I believe she is about to win.  Here's two more she is doing for Portage.

Marilyn did some knitting on her way to California and will be hanging these cuties on the mitten tree at her church.

She learned a new way to fold napkins and just to make sure she didn't forget she made 65 of them for the wedding in California....I would say she perfected the technique.....lol!

 This beauty just got taken out of the frame by the morning quilters.  It is a comfort quilt and waiting to be bound.

 Susan was practicing her piecing in preparation for the next year's guild quilt.  It will have a broken star and some applique and will no doubt be stunning.

Marlene was asked to make a lap quilt by a friend and it had to have yellow in it. As usual, Marlene did an amazing job.

Judith liked these little bags so she made a couple......

 and a table topper (looks like a spider's web...wonder if it is for Hallowe'en?) and....

another table runner...this time she used some of her special birthday fat quarters.  Well done!

Ethel is going for the title of "Ultimate bag lady"....she brought in a slew of totes she made for various and sundry lucky recipients.

 Found this pillow case hiding in one of the bags....not deliberately it seems.

Then she showed us all the mittens she had been knitting.  Isn't retirement great, Ethel?

A new member, Susan showed us this lovely lap quilt she made. We'll be seeing lots more I'm sure.  Welcome Susan!
