February Business Meeting

 Here's the first of Marilyn's projects.....a wallet kit that turned out just perfect....so much so , I believe she will be making another one or two or three.......

 Here's "Oh Canada" made by Marilyn and ready for the next stage...backing and quilting.

 A Modern style quilt ...pattern can be found in a tutorial by Jenny Doan on the Missouri Quilt co.. A quick and fun technique to make a fresh and summery quilt.

And lucky Kate, Momma is making some quick and pretty wallets for presents at her Scentsy parties.  In batiks no less...good job, Mom!

Sandra came up with a great idea ...using tape inside thimbles to keep them in place. Plus purchasing them economically at the dollar store.

Marj did another gorgeous applique  wall hanging.  What a great job!!

 Ellen put us all to shame ... here she is in her 90's and quilting away.  A sweet baby blanket...wonderful , Ellen!

With a memory like a sieve...I've forgotten the name of this quilt....I keep thinking Gordian Knot but I know that's not quite it...anyway, Renate made this wonderful quilt...king sized , no less.  The woman is a powerhouse...hard to keep up with her.

 Judy tried the disappearing four patch with a twist and came up with two samples as pot holders.  Good job, girl!

Here's a neat little pot holder in a heart motif just in time for Valentine's Day.

 Judy called this a thread catcher...I call it an ort catcher...either one is appropriate and convenient to have on your quilt when hand quilting...

This wonderful quilt top was a donation, all marked and ready for hand quilting as part of comfort quilts.

 This sweet lap quilt was made by Ann's grand daughter and they quilted it together...building wonderful memories and spending quality time together...lucky Ann!, lucky grand daughter!

Judy got her block of the month all done.  This year she is going to be ahead of us all.

 Here's the 2014 Guild quilt...not named yet, but showing incredible promise to be another beautiful quilt.  Another border of vines and leaves with complete the project and then the ladies will quilt it.

This gorgeous masterpiece is Carolyn's and it is stunning.  Anita's Arrow in beautiful batiks. Masterful job, Carolyn...be proud!

Program Day, January 28,2014

The guild quilt is in production...and here is Gilliane inspecting the progress made by the sewer and arrangers of the day.

Marilyn is busy making the last  five in a double nine patch to finish the last row.

Evelyn is finishing up the last  four in a double nine patch.

A new nine patch comfort quilt in the frame and ready for nimble fingers.

Arranging and arranging and driving themselves crazy to make sure there are no squares of the same fabric touching.  A hard job but then someone has to do it.

This quilt is ready for binding .

Show and tell started with a hexie snowflake...the start of a BOM in hexies.

Oh Canada, ready for batting and backing and some machine quilting.

Marilyn made this neat bag with measuring tape fabric. So cute!

Here's the latest trend in knitting....boot top cuffs.

Vera's quilted some hearts for Valentine's day...just around the corner.

Sherri brought her brown bag challenge, all finished and looking great!

She's done some knitting and here's a snowman had to prove it.

NOw this is a neat gadget, sits beside your sewing machine...has a bag for snippets and threads and the wired portion is to hold your coffee cup.  Creative people in this world.

A little slow with the camera but this is a shawl , knit by Jean Thompson for the prayer shawl group she knits with.  Gorgeous colour.

Susan is appliquing the seasons from the skinny quilts in Quiltmaker magazine.  This, of course, is for the winter.....

and here is the spring.  We'll no doubt, see, summer and fall before too long as well.

A sweet wall hanging...Small Comforts. ....s appropriate for this time of year.

 

Melda made the yo-yo wreath and it turned out so well.

 

Lilliane also did the yo-yo wreath. It turned out to be a great Christmas project. So well represented here.

Here's the Broken Star in gorgeous batik fabrics.

Renate sure can churn out the projects.  Here's a wonderful reversible pillow made to match a quilt she had made last fall.

and here's a bolter she added with it.  Such a talented lady.

Marge beat us all to the punch and got her BOM done ahead of the rest of us.

Judy brought a baby quilt she put together...all cuddly and warm with a flannel backing.

A New Year begins.

What a great way to start the New Year...with a quilt. It looks like Ann is merely observing but truth is, she was just taking a break and had been quilting all morning...

Carol Brought in this gorgeous star quilt she just finished .It will be on display at the Kennebecasis Quilt show this upcoming September.

Gillian has been busy knitting leg warmers and yoga socks.   Good thing, too since she had three days without power this Christmas with all the power outages...this will be the year of the ice storms for sure.

Joan made this great table cover for her daughter who is unable to garden as much as she would like. Wonderful compensation there, Joan....

Vivian finished her star using Vera's instructions.

AND although she is hiding behind this comfort quilt  I want you to know she was basting it on Sunday in preparation for quilting and here it is Tuesday , quilted and ready for binding...just call her Speedy!!

Muriel made this blue Christmas wreath to match the beautiful table runner , all bound and ready for next year's decorations.

Jean made this really neat 'rag' tote  from a picture she saw...smart lady.

and along with the coaster sets she made she made some microwave bowls for gifts  or perhaps they are for sale at our quilt show...you'll just have to come and see.

Ann sure has lucky grandchildren.  Here is a gorgeous quilt she made for a granddaughter that is graduating this spring.

and not to be out done but she made a matching pillow case to go with it...

Susan stretched herself this time by doing a curved binding. It certainly turned out well.

Marg tried a different technique for this star. Done with half square triangles and looking just wonderful.

Ellen quilted this nine patch for the comfort quilts the guild pass along to victims of fire and lo and behold it went out to a family today. We have such caring and wonderful workers.

Judy challenged herself with this point matching table runner...

and made a table topper to go with it.

Evelyn did her block of the month challenge and is ready for the next one...

AND showed us her Broken Star that she started a few years ago.  It really doesn't matter when you finish a WIP as long as you finish , right Evelyn?
