Sussex Vale Quilters' Guild

 Before I begin with our show and tell for September 24, I would like to give myself a kick in the butt....we had Brenda Dunsmore come to visit and give us an amazing trunk show....full absolutely full of wonderful ideas...both creative and practical plus ideas for our guild to add to our program...I was her Vanna and forgot to take pictures.  Sorry, sorry, sorry!!! Now on to show and tell, here are Jeannie's pouches from the evening ladies.  This is the project they worked on Monday Night. Marilyn's daughter has a friend that is expecting triplets....don't know whether to feel sorry for her or extra excited.....and her is one of three sleeping bags that zipper from the bottom up...so darned cute! plus Marilyn made three swaddling blankets....again so cute!  Then she showed up this wonderful poncho she made by taking a pattern off one she had purchased so she could make more...they will be in the November craft sale...hurry in if you want one!  Helen and Le
