 Here are Vera, Sherry, Marge and Muriel(Ann's hiding) working on the guild quilt. Knees knocking. Joan Smith graciously volunteered to take the quilt home and bind it. It will be hanging with pride at our quilt show in September. Jean Thompson made a twisted thread catcher.  They're fun and easy to do. This signature quilt (covered in plastic to protect it) is our table cloth.  It is usually covered with sweets and munchies for tea break.  Here's our guild quilt...all quilted and ready for binding.  Isn't it gorgeous...such beautiful colours and fabrics...the applique was done by hand by yours truly and Judy Steeves.  Here's Marilyn Wynn's table topper...all done in spring fabrics...guess she's tired of winter like the rest of us.

 Fun little projects... the triangle is a Thread catcher, the hearts are bookmarks...quick and easy to make.  The bookmark instructions can be found at   Sew Many Ways . You might want to consider following this talented crafter who comes up with amazing ideas.  It always helps to become up close and personal with your iron...it's the quilter's best friend. Our quilting ladies....hand quilting on a gorgeous quilt put together by the guild and available for sale when it is all finished...it will be displayed at our quilt show in September.. A black and white beauty that went for raffle in support of  Minor Hockey.  A lucky player has a generous grandmother.  Table runners in primary colours ...so pretty. Always time to make a Christmas quilt and this is especially pretty.
