 Before show and tell, Ann told us about this comfort quilt that is going to the Sussex Corner councillor that lost her home to fire this past month.  It was made and donated by a former member of our guild and she wanted it to go as a comfort quilt...such wonderful quilters live here.

 Kaye started show and tell with her first Block of the Month....it has the little quilt hanging over the fence.  It was Kaye's first foray into fusible web...I think she likes it.

She has two more grand babies ....boys and since they have dogs she made this one and another just like it with a centre of doggy material...smart gramma!

 Marilyn, too , has little boys to sew for but this is just a prototype she has on hand...she will be doing these playmats in blue.

Gillian has been knitting up a storm with scarves and hats to match.  A little birdie told me she has a lot more yarn to work with.

 Susan is done for the winter and can now do the things she has put aside to do...starting with her Block of the month number one....

 ...number two......

 the sewing machine challenge from a couple of years ago......

a panel someone gave her.....

 A wall hanging that would look much better in my front hall ...if she is so inclined.....

....her first foray into fusible web...good job.....

 She and I both love Sindy Rodenmeyer from Fat Cat Patterns and here are ours side by side.  Hers is red and mine is blue...they were amazing to do.....now on to quilting them.

 Judith did her Block of the month from a couple of years ago and put them together in a table runner.

 She's also into miniature quilts and here is another she made and hand quilted...

Mary is Christmas ornamenting and here are a couple of results.....

 along with mug rugs she made....I reminded her of where I lived since she delivers the mug mats with a mug filled with Christmas sweets ....New Line, Mary...New Line!

Ethel is officially the Bag Lady of the guild...she's made somewhere in the twenties plus she is making pillowcases for boys...busy woman!

This beautiful Double Irish Chain just came back from Agathe's...quilted with a pattern called mistletoe and it is gorgeous.

Vera took this really neat fabric that looks like small inch squares and quilted it...it fooled us all into thinking she had pieced all those little squares...instant insanity if she had.

 This beauty is also Vera's...one she bought from Ethel and quilted to make a wonderful table cloth.

Here are Vera's BOM's side by side...just an inkling of how neat they are going to look when all finished and put together.

 Jackie is back to playing on her machine and finished this quilt for the Cuddle quilts. It is one of many that came in from a lady in PEI..

This is a doggy dish pad....

....and a kitty dish pad...interesting since Jackie does not have a dog or a cat. Guess she just can't help herself...when someone asks nicely , she responds with a big heart...that's our Jackie!
