How's this for amazing. Vivian is 100 years young...she will be 101 in March ...and she just finished her colour challenge by making this Dresden Plate with her three colours....yellow, blue and red.  We're all wishing we could follow in her footsteps...

 Gillian got a new pattern and made six ...she was so enthusiastic about the pattern.   And they are all gorgeous .

Judith  got playing with angles and made this candle mat or mug rug...call it what you will it was certainly interesting.

 Then she decided she should have a "twister" heart for Valentine's.

Renate got her Block of the Month done. Instead of doing it by hand , she got out her machine and showed us the great job she did.

 Here's Renate's colour challenge...if you were wondering , it is, indeed, a king sized quilt. Not sure just what Renate's colours were but it really doesn't matter , they all look great.

Here's Jean...so reliable...she made another baby quilt for the cuddle quilt program. It would not surprise me if she has made the most cuddle quilts of all our members.

 Beth  participated in the evening ladies program and here is her log cabin. Such soft pastel colours and so pretty.

Joan brought this adorable door hanger. The Quiltery has one for every season...I think it is time to take that trip to Riverview.

 The Chinese Auction is all ready to go....remember that one Quilter's UFO is another's PHD to share.

February is almost over but the quilting never ends.  Chris got this wonderful red and white snowball finished. I asked if it was going on her bed and she replied, "Nope, it's a gift." Lucky recipient.

 She was working on the finishing touches on her applique pillow.  Love the fabric she chose.









Ruth did the swirly pattern from last time and included some fabulous fussy cutting with bordered fabric. She did an amazing job with the points matching beautifully in the centre.  Well done!!

 Eleanor showed us a gorgeous quilt. The pictures do not do it justice.

and here is a stack and whack she put together with a piece of the main fabric on the back to show how it could change with each kaliediscope(sp?).

This sweet bag holds a picture of Linda's grand baby.  What a great keepsake! Maybe it will help Linda get over that broken arm.   OUCH!

 It's a good thing it wasn't cold out tonight...we had a great crowd for the evening ladies . Here's Susanne's quilt...she got started on her own and did a darn good job.

 Wendy is showing off her table topper...great job there!

 Now this is an amazing project. Wendy took a picture of her grandmother , put it in grey scale and then thread painted . What an awesome creation. Talented is a word that comes easy when describing Wendy.

Here's another of Susanne's quilts...again , done with no instruction...must be instinctual.

 JoAnne got her applique pillow done...now she just needs to applique...right????

 Jeannie finished her cosmetic bag.

 Marion actually made a quilt with no blues in it...looks wonderful

 and she made this table topper too.

Beth got busy doing some UFO's...this one is a Spring is on its way table topper....

 a couple of Christmas mug rugs.....

and a bag she's had the fabric for since Baird's was here in Sussex...how long ago was that you say....

 Janice got her Deckade the Halls completely finished...with a few stitches left on the binding.

 Caroline got her applique pillow done.

 Ruth made this comfy cozy , homespun fabrics quilt.

And she paper pieced this Christmas Tree....I believe her feelings about paper piecing mirror my own...nuff said!

 Marilyn got some warm fleece and made some Chemo caps....

plus she is doing dishes at the Valentine's luncheon this 14th and her apron is most appropriate.  You should go!

 For the second meeting of the New year,
Marilyn began Show and Tell with this Log Cabin
table runner.  Love the colours!

Just  to show you we had a capacity crowd ......

 Marion brought this really neat bag she made to show us.  Her daughter-in-law...THE real bag lady...Wendy showed her how.

Not that she needed much showing when you consider she made this paper pieced table runner and it is definitely an experienced only project.

 She showed these sweet little snowman wall hangings...notice the hand knit scarf....if all else fails, make the needed parts.

 Beth has a baby coming into her life....no, no.....not hers!....but this makes an adorable quilt for  a little one.  Can grow some with it too.

 She sure loves this retirement thing....she's catching up on all her UFO's. Including this table runner...with the Jacobean fabric...divine!

 Treva says this beauty is going to a cottage. The picture does not do it justice...it is beautiful...well done, Treva!

Canada 150....it will be travelling to the UK with Jo-Anne and her daughter. They will be attending a wedding and this quilt is the wedding gift. What a great job she did!

 Here's Marj starting the New year off with this wonderful cuddle quilt she quilted. JOyce thought she would put it in the shop at the hospital to help raise funds.

Kay has grand babies galore and made this sweet quilt for one of them. She called it the Turtle Square.

She also made this crazy quilt stocking for one of her grand babies. Such a sweet heirloom.

 Vera needed a hanging for her "measuring" wall and this skinny snowman fit the bill.

Susan's hubby is a fishing enthusiast and helped determine the correct colours for the fishing lures on the quilt that she made for him.  One must be accurate in depicting fishing lures!

 Susan also won the Christmas fat quarters and used them to make this Yuletide Dresden plate table runner.

Spring is Coming (just ask the snowman)

 This lovely curtain pattern is available with help to put it together by Susan.

Jacqui got into the pillow mode and made this great Autumn pillow......

 and this Christmas pillow....

and this Christmas pillow....from pictures, no less. Great Job!

 Judith made her paper pieced tree...

cut apart some Christmas towels and crocheted handles for them....










then made some hot pads. She was busy!

Ethel...great to see her back....made lots of placemats for Christmas....

some sweet quilted bibs.....

but this was the most interesting of all. She started a Quilt journal. This quilt was started in 2010....and got finished this year...she gave it to Joyce to add to the cuddle quilt program.

That was our first meeting for 2018...as you can see we are a prolific lot...we will have more as the year goes along.
