After all the inclement weather we've been having and the cancelled meetings it was nice to be able to get together again.  These beauties are Marilyn's...she brought them along to show the ladies the results of the class she taught this a.m.

 Here they are...sewing their little hearts out or watching to see how to go about it when home alone with no one to see their oopsies......

Susan is moving right along....

Show and tell after our business meeting was started by Jean with a couple of pot holders she made ...getting a start on the Christmas gift giving for next year.

 Susan brought in her sweater mittens...two pairs and looking warm and comfy.

 she has a good start on her blocks of the month and what a great job she is doing...see the wreath on the barn and the little farmer on the tractor....

and the reindeer pulling the sleigh...so imaginative!

Marlene is hiding behind her blues...she decided she wanted to clean up her stash of blue and made this wonderful quilt.

 Ann is a tatter and look at the sweet double sided (hat and tie) snowmen she made...one for each of her six grandchildren and, of course, one for herself.

 Diane is another imaginative quilter with her deer in the yard of the block of the month.

 And this sweet little quilt...has such a feminine air about it. She is going to bind it in green for that finished look.

 Vera has her block of the month done as well. They are looking so great...can't wait to see all the quilts when they are done.

 Elsie made this nine patch quilt and asked for some assistance determining the border choices. Needless to say, she got a lot of advice..just ask a quilter and I can guarantee you will get advice.

Cynthia was given some fabrics....mostly wool and made this adorable wall hanging with white woolly sheep...even her label has a woolly sheep.  She uses her creative talent this lady....

 Judy is inspired with her blocks of the month and decided to use different techniques on each one. Since she has a variety of skills at her disposal...it will be very interesting to see the finished product.

 Seems to me I see a recurring theme here...bears, bears and more bears...hmmmm!

 Mary was in a hexie mood....I do believe it has something to do with her crayon selection in the President's challenge..wonder what her colours were.

Espresso served at Mary's house..wanna go?

 A WIP has now become a FP.

 Susan has been as prolific as ever...with her wonky houses and those cute little gnomes that are actually buttons...I had to have a closer look, that's how I know that.

 Placemats for her grand daughters and...

 a Valentine's banner to celebrate the day.

 She's also got her blocks of the month just about ready....considering that bear is stealing some of her fabric she may have a hard time getting them done.

 This one has a barn quilt as well...I do like them done that way....I plan on doing mine with one as well.

Bea bought these fabrics a while ago and feels she wouldn't buy them today, however, they do make a gorgeous quilt for a young girl...bright and cheerful.

 One of the many quilts that were donated by a lovely lady from PEI. Agathe quilted it and bound it ....

 along with this one. They were both too big for the chemo project but certainly a good size for the comfort quilts.

She did find some time to make something for herself so she sat down and made this jelly roll rug that she claims will go to a daughter.

 Like minded Marilyn made this one for her daughter, to match a duvet cover so she will be color coordinated.

 Marilyn's crayon colours were orange, lime green and brown...and wouldn't you know it she had a meter of batik with those colours. Some people have all the luck.

These little storage pods are a freebie pattern from  Shabby Fabrics ...so she whipped up a few and knowing Marilyn will probably whip up a few more.

 She needed an apron for the Valentine's luncheon so she found a fabric she liked and proceeded to make one...reversible with Easter theme on the other side.

 Vera found a few more things in her basket and showed us  a Valentine wall hanging she made a couple of years ago...very romantic with the beadwork.

Here's her crayon challenge with her colours of purple, orange and yellow...a weird combination but this certainly works.
